I had no idea how long it had been since I last roamed the halls and tunnels of Essex Hospital for the Looney and Problematic. This was one of my favorite spots and one of the only hospitals I really got to explore before it was mostly gutted or falling down. It was not until after this trip that I went through the archives and found that it was almost exactly three years since the last time I was there.
It was good to be back, but it was amazing how three years of idiots, water damage, scrapping, and demolition can take their toll on a place. Like always, I shot way too few pictures there, but here are the best of them.

Our beloved chill room, three years later...

I doubt I'll ever make it there again, but then I've said that before about places and found myself back there. If not, I wish it a fond farewell. For this location was one of the best.
