I very much doubt that a corridor like in the picture would be an interesting enough setting for a Dr. Who episode! :rolleyes: I’ll probably ask him, though.
I guess it’s me, then. I tried again just now and still no joy. Not for the link, not for just www.deadendwaterfall.com, not for 31.170.166.98, and none of those in either FireFox or Chromium. Maybe I’ll start a new thread.
The first clue is that it is relatively new commercial construction and it has a radiator. That’s very common in Europe, much less so here.
Plus, it looks identical to the radiators I had in my place when I lived in London.
Not just you. Does not work for me either in Firefox.
Not a medical office. Most doctor’s offices have a tray on or beside the doors of the exam rooms to hold patient charts. None of that here.
Abby? Garcia?
Looks like any number of doctor’s offices I’ve been in. It’s drab and bland, but with wall art.
Around here, that is usually on the inside of the room near the door.
I think basic probability suggests that it is in fact the ubiquitous “Push bar to open” rather than some random text that no one has ever put on a door before. Are there any other plausible phrases that resemble the image and that are not close variants of “Push bar to open”?
The place looks to me like offices in a hospital, or in a large GP’s practice, or an educational establishment. Somewhere that the rooms might need to be private.
Not an office block unless it’s some rent-an-office place. I would expect rooms in a shared office to have windows.
Nor me, on Chrome. I tried a few hours ago, and just now.
If someone would be nice enough to post the picture elsewhere, we can all play…otherwise, carry on.
The closest I came was just www.deadendwaterfall.com via the Wayback Machine, but I have no idea
if the image I saw there is the image people are talking about.
No, it’s this:
Works for me in Chrome.
It’s a narrow hallway, with cheap mid-grey carpet, white walls, fresh paint.
In the foreground: a radiator unit (only one) on the left side, and a series of red doors on the right side: opening outward, opening inward (and inset), and then two more opening outward. All of the opening outward doors have key-holes for deadbolts under the lever-handles. The three doors are very close together - perhaps a foot to 18 inches between each door.
In the Midground: beyond the doors and radiator, there are two passageways that open into the hallway, the first is on the left, and then another further down to the right. On the left (parallel to the second passageway) there is an additional red doorway, but the angle is such that I can’t tell if it has a lock - it does have a handle.
Background: there is an door frame (red door standing open away from the viewer) in the center of the hallway after the two intersecting passages, and then beyond that you can see the far wall of that room/passageway, with a push-bar exit on another red door, and a fire-extinguisher on the wall beside it.
None of the doors have windows or pinhole viewers, but the ones that open outward into the hallway have a small bright blue circle at head-height (perhaps the size of the palm of your hand) with white writing on them. The door that opens inward does not, nor does the door at the end of the hall with the push-bar.
There is generic “office art” in various sizes and frames on the left wall above the radiator.
It reads like the interior of a clinical/medical office space to me.
If it’s cheap rent-an-office space, then it’s all rooms used by the same company, as there are no signs or business identifications on the doors or walls.
It could also be a cheap hotel, with the door-locks on the doors. Not American, however, because our hotels, even the cheap ones, have pinholes in the doors to see who’s knocking.
If this were in an American building, which I’m pretty sure it’s not, my first guess would be “side corridor in some university department building”. I’ve often seen this sort of thing in postwar academic construction–you have the wide main hallways along which the classrooms are located as well as the labs where applicable. Some faculty offices are found here, but in a building of this type the majority of those are will be along narrow side corridors that loop off of the main passages.
In my student days I had never seen this type of door handle on my side of the Atlantic, although since then I’ve occasionally seen them in newer houses and apartments. Still haven’t seen them in non-residential construction, though.
If you wish to open the door to your east, type E.
> E
You find yourself in another corridor with three doors on the left.
> W
You are in a maze of twisting corridors, all alike.
> EXAM RADI
The radiator is warm to the touch. It looks vaguely European.

I’m guessing it’s on a ship.
a SPACE ship!
I think I saw that in one of the Matrix movies…
Oh! I want to play. Looks like the corridor of a hotel. But no windows and kinda cramped so I say its the corridor in a lower deck of a cruise ship. The radiator is the only thing that might not fit. How are cruise ships heated?
Ditto. The outer rooms are about the size of the examining rooms in my doctor’s office and the decor of the hallway resembles the offices of one of the specialists I’ve seen. The middle two doors are weird, though. They could lead to the same room - that would explain why they open in different directions, but opens the question of why so close together.
Rooms are way too small - even the cheapest tiny hotels I’ve been in have had larger rooms than that.
No, the pictures would be better secured and the doors wouldn’t be free swinging as the inset one and the one leading out to the exit (and probably the rest that aren’t the exit) are, so that rough waters don’t cause the pictures to fall off, or the doors to slam shut if they’re supposed to be open, etc.
Thanks!
The curious thing to me is the spacing of the doors on the right.
Office, stairwell, closet office? Or something like that? The one without a handle seems likely to be a stairwell. Except the thing at the end of the hall is probably a stairwell. So…hmm.
The one just past it…well, there’s no room for it to go anywhere unless there’s a strange layout behind it.
All of the cruise ship corridors on google have handrails. Which makes sense. So, not on a ship. Individual treatment rooms at a spa?
