Awesome work fella's, out of interest is table or 'slab' at 12:40 in the video an old or secondary morgue? I know there was a Mortuary built on site (Don't know if it's still there) but quite curious as to what the use of that room was if anyone knows?

Cheers, appreciate it! I'd assume it was some form of secondary/overflow morgue based on the drainage built into the floor (And the fact that the on-site mortuary has been demolished and it's slab has been relocated to a museum)? But I'm afraid we've been unable to find a floor plan that proves or disproves this so I can't guarantee it!

That's an old meat storage room, I think.

The old mortuary building is still there but the table/slab from it, however, is in the Mental Health Museum at Wakefield.

Great to see this. I went for a nosey around the showhome a few weeks back and was told they're being as sympathetic as they can with the development. This door frame is original to the asylum...

Now you've said that it makes sense as they were located almost directly below the large space we believed to be a kitchen!

Cheers pal! Just waiting on our next report to be approved in the "Other Sites" section now, does the approval system persist constantly or just until the "New User" label is gone?

The approval system will be phased out on your account once you have the title '28DL Member' It's just there to stop spam accounts from posting rubbish on the forum.

Cheers! I get why it's there completely, gotta have quality content control, it's just mildly irritating!

I was instructed to "Put a massive, obnoxious watermark on them to deter every man and his dog from using them" and I'm one for consistency, regardless of whether it's consistently good or bad! :

I presume it is not a photography course then? (if it is, I'd ask for a new tutor )

How much are one of those pads going for?

Anywhere from half a million pounds downwards. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-46953586.html

There are different grades of accommodation ranging from really shit spec apartments to the ones in the converted nursing blocks, which are the most expensive.
