Urbex: Château Face Off, France – June 2016
Château Face Off was definitely one of my favourite explores of 2016. Smaller than I had anticipated, the Château was full of relics from the former occupants most notably three rather unusual bustes…
Urbex: Château Stromae, France – June 2016
The abandoned Château Stromae is yet another architecturally stunning castle in France which sits abandoned in a deteriorating state. As you can see from the exterior photos this building has been added to over the years and has quite a history to it as well…
Urbex: Château Chasseur de cerf, France – June 2016
Another interesting disused Chateau in France, this building from what I understand is earmarked for restoration despite being in a pretty bad condition structurally.
Urbex: An Abandoned Military Barracks, France – June 2016
An old abandoned Military Barracks somewhere in France. I believe the place is earmarked to be converted to housing, or at least the main building. Sadly this building was not accessible during our visit, however, I expect by the looks of the rest of the places it’s probably well stripped!
Urbex: Castle Miranda aka Château de Noisy Belgium – June 2016 (revisit 2)
Quite likely my last visit to this Castle, for those who might not have already heard the castle is being demolished / dismantled and work began shortly after my visit last year.Plenty of photos have circulated showing the tops of the towers and turrets removed and laying on the ground as well as other clearance works on the grounds…
Urbex: The Blue & Green Chapel, Wales – May 2016
An old decaying Blue & Green chapel in some random little village in Wales, I often remember walking past this one when I was young and wondering what it would look like inside…
Urbex: The Tin Chapel, Wales – May 2016
A small abandoned chapel in Wales, completely out of sight, barely occupying a small clearing in the tightly packed undergrowth this little chapel was in surprisingly good condition given that it clearly hadn’t been used for decades. The light was nice and subtle on the overcast day which made this one a joy to shoot!
Urbex: Ceulan Mill, Wales – May 2016
Ceulan Mills is an old abandoned textile mill in Wales, one of 5 others in the town this was apparently one of the first which generated electricity for some of the houses within the village making it one of the first locally to have power. The Mill is believed to have been built on the in 1850’s and closed in the 1960’s after attempts to diversify and sell directly to the public failed to generate sufficient revenue.
Urbex: The Tweed Mill aka Simon’s Mill – Wales, May 2016 (Revisit)
Not a great deal to say about this one, an old abandoned textile mill which has been closed for decades. Powered from an old water wheel the mill contains lots of old machinery and lots of coloured wool.
Urbex: The Dolls House, Wales – May 2016
Now, I’m pretty sure that contrary to the name of this place… The Doll didn’t actually own the house… nor was it an actual Dolls House. This small stone built farmhouse sits isolated, a small walk from a country road surrounded by empty fields. Clearly disused for decades the place was starting to fall apart but…
