Briefly this old Abandoned Asylum somewhere in the UK was established in the very early 1800’s and closed in the early twentieth century. The Asylum catered for both private…

Read detailsPart 2 of the revisit to Serenity Hospital. This monster of an abandoned hospital has so much to offer from a photographic perspective.

There is little information about Gray, Dunn & Co in the twentieth century. The firm’s factory was built in Stanley Street in Kinning Park in 1862 but destroyed by fire thirteen years later and…
Read detailsExternally the building looks more like a town hall or courtroom building rather than a church and the bell towers appears to have been a later addition perhaps the building may have had a previous function in its history. Unsure how long this one had been abandoned but its certainly becoming worse for wear!
Read detailsMy first derelict Primary School, interesting. A little on the trashed side but still a lot to see. Highlight had to be the gym and a couple of the classrooms were still recognisable. Not sure if kids or thieves trashed the place but shame to see it all a mess. Accompanied by the full S.O’C.C.…

Read detailsThis one has to win the prize for most interesting spot of the day. A rather unsual place, seemed in parts still used and in others completely derelict. Some really cool features, access to the roof tops both on a top and a cross section. The lights were on in parts and there appeared to…
Read detailsNot much of a revisit as sadly the other planes and helicopter were… lets just say… off limits this trip.

Although the house appears like it has been empty for quite sometime, evidence scattered about the place confirmed what we already…
Read detailsHistory OK so based upon what I have read, apparently Timbers in the malthouse have been examined by the English Heritage and some including the attic floors were found to have been there since 1750. I cant vouch for the validity of this information but if that is the case then its a pretty old…
