Mysterious Interior
FOUND by Heidi
in Maidstone, UK
I have no idea what this photograph is of, it was a random find on a street. On closer inspection, the photograph has that texture of many shoes treading it into the pavement. I'm pretty sure it is meant to be this way up, as there is a sign on the left-hand wall which I can just about make out as saying 'Toucher' or 'Voucher'.

This, friends, is a picture of my bedroom. My bed is on the right, just out of the shot. Why do I need a safety cage on the light fixture? Well...
It looks upside down to me.
Looks like a submarine or a boat.
This looks very much like the inside of a Navy ship or submarine. It's also certainly right-side up ... I just turned my laptop upside-down to compare and it wouldn't make any sense the other way.
It also looks like a submarine to me as well. The circular doorway at the end of the hall and the light fixture lead me to believe that anyways. But honestly how the hell knows would i know i have never been in a submarine. I do know that it a lot more interesting then studying for the Contemporary European Politics test coming up in a few measly hours
it looks like mel gibson's room in the movie 'conspiracy theory' ... i know that makes no sense - a photo of that set on a footpath in the UK, but that is what it looks like to me.
This is the control center for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. Don't be fooled by the ratty old hanging utility light and broken smoke detector; we're pretty sure we still know what every switch and dial does. You can see the water heater back there on the other side of the Stargate. You have to crawl through it to re-light the pilot. We sent one new guy back there as a joke and turned it on just as he went through. It restored our hot water OK, but he didn't come back for almost three years. Who knew it worked?
It's definitely right side up. Look at the safety light in the front; it's hanging by the cord from that hook.
weird! If I had to guess I'd say maybe the back of a restaurant? But in all honesty I have no idea!
psssst. Careful, mates. Chief Engineer Scotty is a wee bit touchy about his beloved USS Enterprise. It may look antequated, but the special tertiary control center is the specific fall back safe zone in the event of tribble infestation. Current Tribble Hazard Status: Low/red alert indicator not lit.
Doesn't this picture make you feel creeped out and claustophobic? Submarine, ship, basement, plane, telephone company central office?
'Toucher' is the French word for 'touch'. When you see it on signs it almost always occurs in a phrase meaning 'Do not touch'. This makes sense in the context of all the electrical equipment.
The curved ceiling makes it look like the inside of a submarine, doesn't it? Regular ships have horizontal decks, I think, and the ceiling would be level, not curving down as this one does.
Clearly it is the interior of a spaceship. FROM THE FUTURE
whenever a sign says do not touch, i always want to touch it to find out why.
submarine, is my guess. or a spaceship FROM THE FUTURE.. of course.
My dad works at a chemical plant, and I remember taking a tour on take-your-family-to-work day like 12 years ago, and this is kinda' what I remember the place looking like.....
Looks like the engine room of some of the boats I've been on. I always feel sea sick in the engine room.
Hurray for Tribbles!
I do not think it is a submarine. The wall to the left appears to be concrete block.
It makes me appreciate my workplace.
I'd also say submarine. Does the floor look flooded to anyone else or is it just me?
I love it! I vote for sub or boat, too.
Looks like the whole room should be ne pas toucher!
lol Jan!
I was going to guess a basment for some kind of large building like a hotel or office building. It has that weird industrial feel with all the switches, signs and levers about. Plus the air duct above and water heater indicate this is definately dry land. Kevin Costner would be excited to learn that dry land is not just a myth.
Looks like the tunnels under the powerhouse of my old school.
The floor does look flooded
This is most certainly a mad scientist's lab.
The storage room on the USS Enterprise of course. Can't you see the broken phaser sitting on the table at the side?
The German Red Light District has really gone to shit, don't you think?
Quite funny, Midlife Crisis. That made me giggle.
Guy incognito has obviously never worked in a restaurant. The back of a restaurant looks, not surprisingly, like a giant kitchen.
My brother-in-law is a nuclear physicist for the Navy and works on the subs, so I e-mailed him this find and I am waiting for an answer back.
Wish me luck on my job interview!
Inside of a submarine.
I'll just say it now and get it out there:
'boring find'
'creepy'
'where are all the good comments?'
this looks to me like a boring old lab. there's what appears to be an autoclave on the left, and a hood for radioactive work on the right. honestly, this looks depressingly like my lab. first a boring ecg and now pictures of an unremarkable looking lab? c'mon found, i look at you to get AWAY from work!
...OoOo you went and stole my pic of the project i had of making a spaceship...FROM THE FUTURE..
XD
it looks like the basement of the hospital i work in. equally dank and depressing
It's definitly a milk house.
johnny appleseed...what's a milk house?
Johnny's House of Milk?
Or someone's abandoned time machine.
The floor is either flooded or very, very shiny!
I thought submarine right away. It looks just like the ones i've been in. The cage is around the light to protect it from people lurching around when the sub does.
look at that left wall, its brick.
I wish my dad was alive. He'd know exactly what this is.
What the hell?
A milkhouse is where dairy farmers produce large quantities of delicious goodness by hooking several cows utters up to sucking machines simultaneously. May be we are looking at this all wrong. Maybe it's not so much what it is as why it is?
I used to work as a housekeeper in a medium sized Hospital. Down in the Basement through all these scary dark halls eventually you come to this gaint room that looked like it had actually submarines in it. and inside them it looked like this. It keeped the whole hospital running. The Brains of the hospital. I hated it there and always thought it would be a great place for a scary movie.
It's a computer Server circa 1983. It's a prototype.
PEPPER..
This is your brain on drugs guys.
What's with all the picture finds lately? Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring! I mean, really, who cares?
Any Questions?
it's not brick, it's clearly tile. get your building materials together kid.
also, this find made me vomit on my keyboard. because i vomit when i'm bored, get it?
Jeez, I haven't been on here in over a week, and I come back today to see there's an imposter. I wonder how many others there have been while I was gone?
What a boring find today, by the way.
SALT...
The boiler room of a high school? Wasn't this a scene from Heathers?
Leah, you could take some night classes. I've got a bottle of them. Little pink ones.
Well, if we look at "why" as Blue Bonnet Lady suggests, maybe this is secret photo of the boiler room of a nuclear sub! "Toucher" does sound French though - do they even have a navy?
UH, YES
To those saying this is boring.. as an image in itself I'm sure it's lacking excitement. But the reason I love 'found' items is the story behind them. I found it on a street in a town in Kent and considering whatever it may be, it was randomly placed. Also I wonder how it got there, did someone discard it or lose it? Of course I am curious as to what it is and where.
I guess some people look at this site when they are bored to cheer themselves up and are disappointed when something does not instantly engage their brain or make them 'feel', you want to be entertained.
Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions, I too believe it to be the inside of a submarine. I am interested to know why people think it is flooded? The floor looks dark to me but there is no reflection as if there was water... What baffles me most is how it got to be on your average footpath in a small city?!
Yeah: You people who think this is boring should get a life. I think anything can be exciting. You just have to use your imagination. That is half of the fun. I don't think this is really boring at all, neither is yesterdays chart. The reason they are interesting is trying to guess what the story behind them is and where they came from. There is far too much instant gratification and lack of insight here lately. Trolls begone.
Okay, simple guy, you come up with a senario about this picture to entertain us. Show us what imagination is all about. Make it as good as Rex's was on 911. TROLL! SALT, you have some explaining to do.
I iz not intertaynd
I have already offered many entertaining suggestions. As I am also Blue Bonnet Lady, Sean S., Bill Gates, Actually in Reality, and Richard Dean Anderson. Make the most of the finds is all I am saying. Don't complain about the find quality because they obviously chose it for a reason. Find something fun to say.
This is a new classroom for Montessori. We don't have child labor in the United States, but that doesn't mean we can't have child engineers.
This is definately a picture of the inside of Martha Stewart's Uterus.
Thank you Heidi. What's really boring are all the people who comment that the find is creepy, boring, or fake! Or the commenters that get upset when they can't carry on their own personal cyber dramas with other commenters. Lighten up and have some fun!
I r board. we can be having pikshurs pritty kittah?
No jimmy this is an MRI of my Brain.
There is a reflection of the small silver box, which is at the end of the hall under the circular opening. The rest of the floor looks dark but you can see a reflection there.
Interested in what your bro in law has to say Suzy...
this is a pictorial representation of 'a simple guys' mind. Full of complexity, and mysteriousnessosity.
this kind of looks like my laundry room, with the furnace and stuff, except way neater.
looks like some place Mike Rowe would go for dirty jobs.
Heidi,
I love when the Finders come in here to comment and answer questions we have about the Finds!
Your photo find is amazingly clear considering it was trod upon. And on the whole, the first 30 or so comments today were positive. I particularly liked Midlife Crisis' story and Turbo is ALWAYS good for a laugh!
Thanks for sending this in.
is dreaming of Mike Rowe right now...
yummy, yummy, Mike Rowe. This is my basement where I have him locked up.
LOL! Mike Rowe locked in your basement! Sand, you are quite intertaining today. Lolcat, you know where to find pretty kitty pics. You crack me up! Wanna have lunch pretty soon. I'll meet you half-way.
This photo was taken as a memento. The room is a boiler room off stage at a theater hosting a major production. A young stagehand fell madly in love with the leading lady. All through the preparations for the show, he tried to get her attention, but he was too shy. She saw him watching her, rushing ahead to move te curtains out of the way on her exit, always making sure that she had what she needed, but she pretended not to notice.
Still, on the night of the dress rehearsal, she decided to reward him for his attention. She took her time gathering her things, and as her cast and crewmates left the theater, she lured our stagehand into the boiler room and had her way with him. Twice.
As a memento, he photographed the room, and has carried it with him in his backpack for many years. As his career has grown, and his stage skills have lead him all over the globe, he has never forgotten her. The photo reminds him that dreams can come true.
The End
OMGWTF! ROFLMAO! LOL
Who's Mike Rowe, and where is sand's basement?
Lost, you're close, but no cigar.
My basement is UNDER THE GROUND. Where else would it be? And Mike Rowe is the guy on TV who is so fine he makes cow poo smeared his face look sexy.
OMG! I just google (image) Mike Rowe! He's purty! Sand, where is your basement!
poo smeared ON his face, sorry.
speaking of TV shows, I think this is a picture someone took of their kitchen to send to While You Were Out or Trading Spaces or one of those things, dropped on the way to the post office. Or it could be an after pic. You know how crazy Hilde is.
Cigars? Who said anything about cigars?
but that Paige sure was purty. might just lock her up in my basement, too.
I am sticking with Martha Stewart's Uterus on this one.
that's a pretty big hole at the end to be Martha's uterus.
oh, wait. she was in jail...
Definitely a boat or submarine.
the good ship lollipop
The Smith family is on vacation. They are touring the USS Alabama down in Mobile. The damn ship is so huge that they get lost despite the yellow diamond shaped signs with arrows hanging on the walls. Some damn fool must have mixed them up. So they start taking pictures of where they have been so they can try to figure out how the hell to get out of there. Too bad it was a 35mm camera and they won't see the results until they get home. If they get home...
Mike Rowe. Barf.
I was in the Royal Navy and i can confirm that this is a picture of the interior of a britch submarine. The round object on the ventilation shaft in the top-middle of the screen is known as a punka-louvre and it can be twisted on or off to supply reconditioned air.
The item immediatly to it's left with the round piece of glass protruding from it is part of the emergency lighting. Above the piece of glass is a black rubber button that is used to test the light.
Thankyou please.
where is that dreadful herve? his comments are always so delightfully insipid.
Thanks for ruining everyones fun Chap.
I'm glad to know what it is. Thanks for the info, Phill. submarine suspicions confirmed. Now why in the hell take a picture of it? family vacation, damn kid wouldn't stand still, tripped over tube, fell through a port hole? Who knows? But I sure see why they tossed the pic. BORING!
Are you sure Spinal Tap isn't wandering around there somewhere?
Phill, how many l's are represented in your middle name ? :)
his middle name is Llewellyn.
This is the set of Das Boot. 'Not bad down here, is it?'
I can has sub sammich? Plz? ThnxKBai
Pepper, did you ask me out earlier?
it looks like a ship to me!
Its most def a submarine. My dad used to be in the Navy and I would visit him on the sub a lot. I'd know those small "hall ways" and manholes anywhere!
thank you. I've said my piece.
My middle name is joseph! : )
The problem I have with submarines is that they go under water.
Desperate Cynic,
I don't think this really is a submarine. I mean, it looks like some kind of lil room. And if it was under water, then it would be like all wet. Wouldn't it? What!!!?
I haven't read all the other comments yet, but I think this is a submarine.
Johnny Depth, where are you?
only written here for a moment in time: I think a couple of my posts were deleted last June because I didn't put a space after my periods.
This looks straight out of the movie 'Brasil'
Definitely too much concrete to be a submarine, I think. Then again, I don't really have a better guess...
I thought that Freak le Chick was from Brasil. Do you think this could be her apartment? Wouldn't that be super if you could rent a submarine to live in? It would be just like living in a trailer, only underwater, duh!
I totally agree 'in in in'
I've had enough of picture finds too.
Submissive substitute sub-sandwich-maker on a submarine: a "sub sub sub sub man" (or woman)
Judgenmental Britch Submraine...
I think I see the face of Jesus in the center bottom third of the picture!
I feel strangely at home in places like this. But I don't know why.
I see Jesus, too! Looks like the shroud image.
Comments on how boring a find is are what is boring!!! Why comment at all?
I have been on the submarine at Disneyland and it doesn't look anything like this.
This is the inside of a vibrator.
Marie, if this is the engine room, then that would be the Shroud of Turbines.
Commander Ellis, you have the conn. Number One, you're with me.
Number Two "Went to Cabin." The kids needed to do a number two.
Since when did submarines have brick walls in them?
Captain Nemo, I think we have a buoyancy problem...
Oh, it's a FRENCH submarine (PRIERE DE NE PAS TOUCHER) -- they always design things differently. I've driven Citroens so I know about these things.
DIVE!! DIVE!!
DON'T OPEN THE SUNROOF!
Definately not a sub. If you look just beyond the light wrapped in orange plastic there is a full sized yellowish-orange door with a blue vent pane in it.
That is a ventilation system on the roof and I cannot figure out the round port-hole looking thing on the bck wall is for...
I would bet real money that is a submarine and that is not "brickwork" on the right. Rather insulation.
/ex submariner
//It's not a US submarine
I know where this pic was taken. It is the submarine HMS Ocelot which is moored in the chatham historic dockyard. They give tours inside it every half hour.
Re: my above comment heres the website for it: http://www.chdt.org.uk/NetsiteCMS/pageid/551/Ocelot
Thanks, Paul in London, good sleuthing!! -- but I'm not totally convinced. All the pics on that site look much cleaner and whiter than the Found picture above (unless you've seen some grubby corners they're not showing us?). (And why the notice in French??)
Similar details though. Maybe ours is a 'real' working submarine, as opposed to a cleaned-up one for public consumption? Who knows.
Yep. A French submarine. Looks like the Communications or Navigation room.
could be a park like disny i used to work at one and some of the tunnels under the rides looked like that becase of size constrictions with all the diffrent rides could also be the tunnels in a prison if you have ever seen a behind the seans there are tunnels run up behind the walls in some that allowes for all the locking and electrical for the cell doors could also be in the basment of a hospital i havent been in ones like those since i was a kid my father used to work for an old hospital and there was tunnels like these coridores if u will and they looked alot like that also could be at a train station think of the hundreds of miles of hidden tunnels they had to build, or car tunnels the smog was so bad inside the tunnels they had to have work access way so that they could get there with out sufficating
I really think this is part of a freight train. I don't know why,I just do.
I have been on a submarine, and this is definitely one. In San Francisco you can board and tour the U.S.S. Pompanito. My Boy Scout troop used to camp overnight in it once a year. This picture is right side up. Not from the future, but the past. Nuclear submarines are not quite as cramped and stuffed as this.
This is the sub-engine room of the 1978 U.S.S. Rockefella. One of only 8 concrete war ships ever manufactured - yes the wall to the left is in fact made of cynder blocks. The entire ship is constructed out of contrete blocks. This was due to the steel shortage in the mid seventies. Only 2 of the origninal 8 ships remain, and are still in service.
The other 6 ships were dismantled and reconstructed as all you can eat buffet restaurants that dot the florida cost line, one is in Clearwater beach.
Master Lizard I was going to point that out as well, but you beat me to it. Looks more like the utility room of a large building to me - like an apartment complex or something.
We all live in the yellow submarine
I took ballet as a prepubescent. One day, the door next to the ballet studio which was usually locked was open, and inside was a room that looked a lot like this, except it was HUGE. That's what I thought as a 10-year-old, anyway. I still don't know what the hell it was, but I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it.
i dont know
