A short stop; visited with Miaro Digital on our this year's Italy-tour. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, the small Italian church was seat of a parish in the mid-19th century. Since 1960 it has been hardly used. In the early 1980s, a wedding was performed here the last time, in 1990...

Golden Oldies for the win! Taken in 2011 and reconverted since then, the Monastère de H (aka Monastère de TF). This monastry was build in the 1930s and abandoned by the beginning of the new century. It was build on top of the remains of a 13th century castle but I couldn't detect any remains...

The former village was first mentioned in 1513. After a chapel of 1717, 1736 the foundation stone was laid for the church. The nave was closed late 19th century as places of worship, the renovation started in 1903. Mid-20th century all Germans had left the place. Some buildings were inhabited by...

A great hotel in Germany. I already visited it about 20 times; I saw the change of it. Most rooms are already trashed or demolished, but there are also some nice spots in there :) Never go in there without a good mask! Too much mould, it isn't healthy at all. The building burned already two...

Visited with Maniac, The_Raw and MiaroDigital. The tower was originally a Martello tower which was part of the UK Napoleonic defenses, there were over 100 of these towers built along the south coast in the 1800's. It was converted into a water tower in 1902 (in fact there are two of them on the...

Already very broken and also difficult to photograph around the graffitis (partly I've retouched them). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Bawdsey was an RAF station situated on the eastern coast in Suffolk, England. Also known as Bawdsey Research Station (BRS), the first Chain Home radar station was built there, characterized by eight tall masts, four for transmitting and four for receiving. When the research group moved to Dundee...

Unfortunately completely gutted and therefore of photographic point of view a bit monotonous. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Visited with The_Raw and MiaroDigital. Pool Park House was built for the second Lord Bagot in 1826-29. In order to counteract the overcrowding of the Denbigh Asylum, the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital bought Pool Park House and opened there a home for mentally ill people in 1937, with...

An oldie with beautiful decay. The health care clinic near the Czech border was part of a rehabilitation center for rheumatology. When the building no longer met the growing demands, it were given up and a new clinic was built close to it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11...

The last stop on a tour. On the web you will find hardly any information about that place, located at the forest edge. Neither about its colonization, nor when it was abandoned. I only know that there was a bailiwick until the end of the 17th century. Several buildings were demolished in...

On tour with skeleton key, Lara and MiaroDigital. To the former Catholic school building also belongs this church. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Unfortunately, I don't know any history. By the way, all photos were only taken from the outside, through the bars of the windows. Therefore, no access was possible - or if, only by a deep cellar window. But even that wasn't possible because of local residents. So I only took a few photos from...

Visited with Lenston, The_Raw and MiaroDigital A really nice place with many wonderful details. History (acquired by Lenston) Out of the 5 mills situated in Talybont the mill was the only one built on the banks of the River Celuan. It is sometimes refereed to as Heron Mill. Built in 1847 by...

A chance find on the way. Because I had put my alarm accidentally too early, The_Raw used the early hour to find an access. :) In the former Grandhotel only live pigeons today. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

The church once belonged to a boarding school, which was used from 1920 as a Roman Catholic school and later as ballet school. The main building served most recently as Islamic School, which was closed in 2007. Visited together with skeleton key, Lara & MiaroDigital. After we got caught by...

Very well known, why I don't will tell the history, for the umpteenth time. For me it was the first visit of an hospital / Lunatic Asylum in UK. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (I've retouched the "ornate penis-graffiti" from...

History The British Xylonite Company could justifiably claim to be the first British firm successfully to manufacture a plastic material in commercial quantities. Xylonite, better known by its American equivalent of 'celluloid', was invented by Alexander Parkes and first displayed in 1862 under...

History Kettering football club played here at this ground between 1897 and 2011 before closing its gates for the last time to move in with Rushden & Diamonds I don't think the club has ever been the same since moving out of here. In 2012 they were forced to move out of Rushden and to...
