History
Built in 1902-3 by Northampton architect Thomas Dyer, the Hope Methodist Church is a striking landmark on Higham Ferrers' High Street. Marked out in East Northamptonshire Council's own Conservation Area Appraisal as a building of merit, the church, which is notable for its exuberantly...
The factory owners villa was a nice chance find on the road. Already quite affected, but still with some beautiful elements.
Unfortunately full of trash inside (more than can be seen on the pictures), which is why I mainly took photos from the ceilings.

The Catholic boarding school was built between 1937-39 and closed in 2005.
I arrived very early in the morning and waited inside for the sunrise.

A few older photos (summer 2010) of an abandoned hotel from the 20s in Sweden.
Although the quality of the images is not the best, but I think the place is worth to be shown.

Last weekend we had a very nice underground exploration... the mine for basalt was so big that we didnt find our way out on our first try :D :D
Andy was also there with a friend, presumably longer than "crew". Thanks for the Trip buddy, looking forward to the next exploration :)

Yesterday, this was by far my longest and most exhausting underground exploration. The mining complex was simply huge, stunning and impressive.
I have not found & seen everything. Absolutely not. But after a total of 11 hours, I had simply no more energy. Today I have a little muscle...
Evening all,
Last place we visited in November's tour of Italy was this place. Not sure on the history but it was a dark, rainy morning and had to be accessed early doors due to the built up neighbourhood.
Nothing else really to add but the photos. Still got some more to process but this is...
An Oldie from 2010.
The building from the period between 1892 - 1926 was once home to the Central Office of the nearby iron industry.

Again a chance finding. I searched the satellite images from Google Earth and I saw a house in the woods. The location was ideal for an abandoned place and so I went there to check it out. It could also be a hunting lodge or a bothy, but I was lucky.
Lying around letters revealed that it wasn't...
Afternoon all,
Another place visited on our last day in September which was a familiar spot on many peoples list is Non Plus Ultra.
This castle owes it's current decor due to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the building during the 19th century. Its a bit of an overload on the...
The Devon and Somerset Railway tunnels
The Devon and Somerset a Railway (D&SR) was a cross country line that connected Barnstaple in Devon, to the network of the Bristol and Exeter Railway (B&ER) at Norton Fitzwarren, near Taunton.
It was opened in stages between 1871 and 1873.

Built in 1934, 1940 attacked by German forces, abandoned since the 1970s.
I've visited it together with The_Raw, extreme_ironing and Miaro Digital.

Evening all,
Long time since I posted anything and as you may already know I don't process that quick so got about 40 active locations of photos to still process bits from.
This place was visited on our last day during our first of two trips to Italy last year. Not sure why it was abandoned...
A ship, ready for scrapping. The crew had left lots of stuff behind, most cabins were still filled with personal belongings. Photographed january 2012, the ship is long gone now.

By chance, I once discovered the access on a hike. Yesterday I went there again to explore it.
The complex was not huge inside but still bigger than I had expected.
On the internet I could not find any information about the place.

Another "oldie".
The crematorium was put into operation in 1910. Its system for lowering the coffins based on water pressure.
After 1980 the first funeral hall was closed, the complete crematory was finally closed down in the early 90s.
Afterwards the furnaces were dismantled and...
In 1913 started the construction of the power plant.
Mid-19th century coal, oil and natural gas supplied energy for the area.
After closure of a part of the power plant was used as a museum.
2010, the museum was closed and the power station was unfortunately partly demolished in 2012.
