Massive picture is linked, don't worry, it's not shocking. Just want to know the first thing that comes to mind.

It'll help me settle a bet, and no, I'm not making a poll because I don't want to influence you.

Prison....

It looks very 1920s institutional, wherever it is.

First thought hospital. Then school corridor on closer look.

This. Looks like Whitchurch in Cardiff and reminiscent of Bracebridge Heath in Lincoln.

Ah, the bin might be a give away. I call it school now, albeit one that superficially looks like most madhouses I've ever been in.

Hospital, or possibly a school (but not like one I have ever been to).

First thought mental asylum. Then school.

I thought hospital (clearly going against the flow here)

School for me. The doormat instantly suggested it wasn't a hospital.

Not a school,. the walls are too clear of A4 sheets of paper. The ramp suggests disabled access is required, i am going to go for hospital, but not a very welcoming one. Although it does look like my old school, but it is jsut too clean.

Kern · **Posted:** Sun Feb 20, 2011 22:23

My first impression was 'hospital' but I didn't noticed the doormat which Craster spotted. Also, the walls haven't been painted in that hideous institutional green colour. But, it's clearly an institution of some sort

Green Wing (hospital, then).

Looking a little closer.... school?

Either way, it's not very welcoming.

Mental asylum. Definitely.

A mate of mine spent a year as the lone night security guard at an abandoned mental asylum. Fuck. That.

Reminds me of the corridors of my old primary (infants) school, which was in a very old building. Plus a bit like the insides of my FE college's oldest building (which had formerly been a small grammar school).

Which abandoned mental aslyum?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49252

Tadworth. Can't remember what the place was called.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49252

Oh, and most of the building didn't have power, and the only working toilet meant going up to the third floor with a torch. Not good.

lasermink · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 1883

Some sinister part of me would quite like a job like that.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:00

I mainly ask as I had a friend at school who really liked breaking into closed mental asylums (Odd hobby, but there you go)

The only one I remember mentioned in the area was West Park. But thats Disturbingly close to where I work in Epsom more than Tadworth.

[Vote: hospital/mental hospital/prison], in chronoligical order, but after a few moments, the 'mental hospital' bit overtook.

A closer look makes me think the second is more likely, due to the crap abstract art on the wall.

That Kate Bush music video with Dawn French and Hugh Laurie, Experiment IV was it?

Hmm, actually looks nowt like it. Not sure why it popped in there. Still, fun, over-the-top video.

DBSnappa · **Posted:** Mon Feb 21, 2011 10:19

Hmm, it's clearly a Victorian building, so could literally be any institute, but I don't think it's a school or hospital in the traditional sense, so I'm favouring some kind of secure institute.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38722

Arguments for school:

Digilock on the door - If it was a secure institution, I'd like to think it would have stronger locks.

No NHS signage - Hospitals are *swimming* with signs

Further thoughts: That's not a doormat, it's a small ramp. Besides why would you have a do... JESUS WHAT'S THAT BEHIND THE DOOR AT THE BACK! IT'S FUCKING MOVING! IT'S GETTING BIGG... *ERK*

Hospital was the first thing that came to my mind, and then it reminded me of the start of Terminator 2.

Do schools have those weird little curved skirting board things? I see them in all the hospitals but I don't know about schools.

Primary school, because the door handles are very low down on the doors.
