Boiler House159 viewsThis time we enter the ground by the side, form the Loch...
Here's an odd thing!?? What's this supplying!?
There must be another building that we missed! Let's look into that...
|
|
Boiler House122 viewsThe Giant Boiler House / Power Plant of Gartloch.
|
|
Tower Looms114 viewsThe place has a uniquely electric atmosphere at night - and not just due to the powerful arc lighting that's been installed!
|
|
Gartloch Main246 viewsWhoa, that's one spectacular building!
|
|
Behind The Back of the Admin Wing116 viewsBack again! Our goal this time is something we never thought would be possible; we are going to try and get a look at the Imposing Admin. Wing - and climb at least one of those towers!
Previously, our attempts to do this had been blocked by the building being used as security HQ, Security Dog HQ, the Staff Canteen and then locked up tighter than fort-knox. Let's try our luck today, hey!?

Entrance246 views
|
|
Deco Nurses Accommodation194 viewsAH HA! There was something else!
It's a massive Art Deco Nurses home; nicknamed 'The Whytey'!
There might be workers on-site today - we can hear activity from the roof... Doesn't sound like workers though - let's check it out!
|
|
Boiler House Closer129 viewsThere isn't much to see inside - the boiler has been removed.

Main Hall Night104 views
|
|
Admin Tower128 viewsThe Admin. Tower - always looks a bit odd from this angle, eh?
|
|
Main Door106 viewsThis is the main front door to the Administration Wing. We are inside... After nearly four years!
So, after we did a little happy dance, we set out to explore the rest of this amazing building!
|
|
Tuck Shop249 viewsThe Hospital Shop!
|
|
Gartloch Posse320 viewsEh, ok... There is a party in Progress on the roof of the Nurses Block.
We liked these kids, they were nice! They offered us some drink and a smoke then let us take pictures. After we carried one of their completely PISHED friends down the fire stairs, we thanked them and left!
If only everyone we encountered was as mild mannered!

Bell Close Up127 viewsDOING!!!!
Actually - the pivot has seized on this bell ! :-(

|
Towering Beast145 viewsOOOOhhhh Yeah!
|
|
The Canteen145 viewsThe Left-Most waiting room - now used as the builders' canteen!
Looks like someone has been practicing their brick laying skills here, that's a nice piece of wall... If a little out of place!
|
|
Building223 viewsNote the typical Victorian layout of separating wards with long corridors.
Don't want the madness spreading, do we?

Main Hall143 views
|
|
The Nurses Home211 viewsThe Occupational Therapy / Nurse's Home / Pharmacy building.
|
|
Looming Wards101 viewsIt would be madness to try getting inside the wards tonight - darkness and unsound flooring are a bad combination.
|
|
Lower Tower178 viewsCheck out the details. It's easy to get carried away with the size and presence of Gartloch.
Gotta slow down and open your eyes some, or miss the best stuff!
|
|
Death Star Answering Machine134 viewsIt might be dusty, but this 1980's style black plastic answering machine is in VERY good nick (and you know it's cool because it has MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL)!! I can only think this was left over from the buildings' Security HQ days as the phone-line it's hooked to has long been removed.
|
|
Building 2257 viewsTaken from the first ward we entered IIRC.
|
|
Occupational Therapy Sign151 viewsThe great thing about these signs, is they all lead in a circle.
I wonder more about the staff's sanity than the patients!!
|
|
Main Hall Side139 views
|
|
Corridor Night148 viewsFortunately, we are completely void of any common sense!
Inside, at night. Mind the hole!
|
|
Polite Sign240 viewsDear everyone,
Please fuck off.
Thanks!
|
|
Lower Corridor103 viewsThe Lower Corridor - running the length of the Administration Building.
|
|
All Us295 viewsAll of us, outside one of the wards.
|
|
Nightmare Corridor181 viewsInside occupational therapy. I'm not sure if it was therapeutic for me, but it did keep me occupied.
One out of two isn't a complete failure, hmm?
|
|
Main Hall Booth132 viewsThe Cinema Projection Booth (A later edition)
|
|
Sisterblue Maze TurboZutek199 viewsThis was a great shot, not for its photographic qualities - but because in the 20 seconds or so it took to take; the floor sunk 1.5 inches under our weight!!
Abandon ward! She's going downnnnnnN!!!!!!
|
|
Julius Walk165 viewsHA! A side street in Gartloch, named after the Asylum Dog!
This is Julius's walk!
|
|
The Unsafe Safe142 viewsWow - I hope there was something inside that safe worth getting out! Someone has clearly gone to a lot of trouble to Oxy Torch the thing open.
I can just imagine the satisfied expression on the face of the person who cracked this safe open only to discover an NHS note stating 'this safe out of use'.

Occupational Therapy158 viewsThe 'Sewing Room'!
This room looks as if it may have been once pleasant... It's a bit creepy now, honestly.
