This old dusty abandoned theatre was a little bit of a mess inside, the floors were starting to feel a bit soft and with this being an unplanned visit I was without my LED lights. The saving grace was that the projection room was complete with the old film projectors and splicing table along with a few old film reels rusting away…
Two more trips to this abandoned morgue with its impressive porcelain slab. I went back for 2 more trips with Andy de Kay of Behind Closed Doors, Matt, Danny, Old Skool, and Baron Scotland. If you’ve seen the first report you have probably noticed the overkill of shots… well considering the small size of this building its shocking that I found more to post…
Built in the early 1900’s the now abandoned Easington Colliery Primary School was constructed in a Baroque style under the hand of architects J Morrison of Durham. The school which had room for almost 1300 pupils served the mining community until the late 1990’s…
The derelict Miranda’s Church in Yorkshire. After hearing a few people make reference to this place having some features, namely the ceiling which were similar to the ones at I had to check it out…
The not so white morgue… No history on this one for the moment, some of you may know where this one is. Visited with Pete ‘Hands’ Costello and Andy De Kay of Behind Closed Doors to go see this rather nice abandoned porcelain slab!
The now abandoned Chateau Rochendaal was built in 1881 by Jean Henri Paul Ulens, a former lawyer, for himself and his cousin bride Marie. The property was then seized by the Germans during the Nazi occupation of Belgium. The Castle was apparently once a home for Otto Frieze a famous German Luftwaffe pilot who was known as the ‘Night Hunter’…
This building from what I understand was once a private residence but was later used as a retirement home / residential care centre which catered for the elderly in their final days. Despite its name there was little evidence to suggest that this building functioned as anything other than a care home. There were a couple of beds in the basement which could have been consultation tables but I would suspect that few medical treatments would have taken place here…
This now abandoned entertainment / theme park was first opened in 1969 and took the name for which it is more popularly known, Kulturpark Plänterwald. In 1989 a company named GmbH won the contract to take over the park following reunification and the amusement park was renamed Spreepark owing to its close proximity to the river Spree…
In 1910 a military training camp was built, the now abandoned Haus der Offiziere was added in 1914 as military sports school, which was later adopted seamlessly by the Nazis. This was just part of the huge site which became known as Wünsdorf or “Little Moscow” in the 1950’s. The town which grew to accommodate 35,000 people from the Soviet republic was significant in size and worthy of its nickname…
Krampnitz Kaserne a military Barracks not too far from Berlin in Germany is made up of around 50 separate buildings most of which served as storage or accommodation blocks. The complex was established in around 1937 as part of the rearmament period and was used by the Nazi’s primarily as their main Cavalry base until it was abandoned by the Germans on 26th April 1945…
