Its just they look a little grim... Posted by Turd Furgusen 11/29/2004 5:40 PM | remove   It's an insane asylum! Posted by sisterblue 11/29/2004 7:13 PM | remove   hahaha...yes, but thats why I am querying this. Asylums were typically designed to be pleasant places to be in. Here we have bare brick walls and spiky railings. Its odd. Posted by TurboZutek 11/29/2004 7:36 PM | remove   No no.. I think this exemplifies the differing attitudes to asylum design and asthetics that Britain and the US took historically. American asylum = Fluffy Prison British Asylum = Hotel Posted by sisterblue 11/29/2004 8:27 PM | remove   I was going to say its a bit prison like! American asylum = Fluffy Prison British Asylum = Secure Hotel Posted by sisterblue 11/29/2004 8:28 PM | remove   Still is this the main stairs or maybe just staff stairs or suchlike? Posted by Mr. Motts 11/30/2004 3:43 PM | remove   I believe patients used these, the cages were to keep them from jumping. The metalwork in the actual steps was quite intricate was well; although it is a bit moody, this photo does looks more sinister than it really is. Posted by Plytheman 12/2/2004 1:51 AM | remove   Noho really is a pleasent looking place compared to some others I've been in.
