Strange feeling going back to somewhere where you were once incarcerated.
Been here a few times (last time 2002). Its now a 'tourist attraction-museum piece.
Borrowed a car today and took my son and a couple of friends. Nice feeling to walk in with the knowledge that you can walk out again...

I Like Avatars....

I have just been staying with a friend who was a psychi nurse on a lock up ward in a what was then called a "mental home" She went back there when the building was being turned into flats and she felt very strange when she walked through the doors.

Are you enjoying the fresh air then, Nailit?

Gosh 237, I don't think I would like to live in a flat that used be part of a mental hospital. Must be some strange auras.

Sam - that is what I would have thought. She applied for a job at Broadmoor and a charter airline and she got the airline job so not much change there :)

Funny thing Tills, going back in there today, it smelt musty and old, it had been shut for a few years before these people opened it up again

My own memory is the overwhelming smell of disinfectant and food when you get up on the wing.

why would you want to go back?

//why would you want to go back? //
To be honest I wasn't in any rush to go back but WAS curious to see the parts that I never got the chance to see, eg, the hanging cell etc.
It was more the case that my son and my mates were curious.
Still a bit strange tho to see where you were once 'locked up' but was now free to look around at will.

If someone can show me the way to Butlins (or any other holiday camp) id appreciate it. I seem to have missed it. Perhaps I took a wrong turn.
