Hi all,
Im fairley new to the site.. picked up my 06 plate GTi a few weeks ago and loved it so far... its gone back to the dealer for two days to have the cam chain replaced which will hopefully sort the TDi sound on tick over :D
Anyway, great to see a photography section, I'm into Urbex.. exploring abandoned old buildings and the like, my homepage with all my explores on is www.derpage.com and just thought I would share a few snaps
This was an old saw mill I stumbled upon in Lincs and found a load of old cars rotting away in collapsing barns! :scared:
https://derpage.com/2016/11/01/walkers-classic-car-graveyard/
Will get some of the new GTi up when I get her back tomorrow and have given her a good polish... hopefuly sounding more big red Ferrari than big red tractor haha :grin:

How do you get access to these places?
-
Is it weird that I want the renault 4 van? First car I ever drove.
-
great photos, how spooky is that stairwell!!!!

Thanks very much all.... access to the places is ususaly just comedy climbing. I never create ways in so if there isnt an open one already I just toddle off somewhere else :-)
great photos, how spooky is that stairwell!!!!
Probably spookiest places Ive found myself were this old Catholic Orphanage kids TB hospital

Reminded me of Shawshank lol!

Awesome photos dude! :happy2:
Those last few give me the creeps!
-
Creepy shiz!! :congrats:
-
I'm really intruiged mate, I love exploring and looking round these places, I can start with these places I know that you've found, do you need special permission to go there, or do you sort of break in? Or are they just open access but forgotten about and abandoned? And finally is there a database or something where I can look for places like this in my local area?
Love the photos :drool: :drool:
-
WOW. I'm loving those Photos mate :congrats: :notworthy:
It that up near Bracebridge Heath? I'd poo my self in there. :scared:
Welcome to the forum :smiley:

Great locations, fantastic photos :congrats: :congrats:

Thanks mate... I generally just trawl Google maps looking for stuff, living in the Midlands most stuff is within reach. There's quite a few websites which are good for a heads up on locations too, local authority listed buildings sites and stuff like that.
Never break into anywhere, providing you cause no damage and take nothing there's no offense as trespass is a civil matter in the UK, worse that can happen is your asked to leave. As soon as you damage or take anything it becomes a criminal matter so steer well clear of that, don't even carry anything that could be considered going equipped... all I take is camera and a torch. There's almost always an open access of some sort, usually involves climbing or going down into a cellar lol.. but that's all part of the fun.
You will be amazed how many places exist within a few miles of you once you start looking :D
-
Mate, your website is AWESOME. loving your work :happy2:
-
These are all stunning Photos
Nice work :congrats:
-
Proper quality shots there :congrats:
-
awesome photos
you have a real talent and eye for photography

Cheers all.... really appreciate the kind comments.
Done quite a few places lately, theres a few snaps here but the full sets are on my homepage jobby www.urbecks.com last Sunday I went and did the old Lancaster County Lunatic Asylum below,

Why are surgical lights in a mental asylum :scared: Bet they are worth big bucks, probably £10k+ new.
-
Apparently the theatre was sealed in the 40's... from the good old days when people with mental illness were 'fixed' by brain surgery :scared:
-
omg this stuff is sooooooooo kool!
id love to visit these kinda places! cant believe how camelot looks now aswell
-
More awesome shots.
Me and my friend from work are going to go to a few places over Bristol way when we can both get a spare weekend.
One is one of the hospitals, I think you went to it, and the other is an old abandoned train tunnel or something along those lines.. :rolleye: :jumpmove:
-
WOW
Pictures are amazing
-
Lovely shots.
There's a really cool place near me on the border of fleet and farnborough called pyestock. Sadly there in the process of demolition at the moment to make way for a Tesco distribution centre
Anyone interested in engineering/ aircraft would love it, google pyestock and see the dailymail's recent write up about it, there's some cracking shots of all the testing equipment.
-
Wow, you have some really cool photos here!!! You've inspired me to go out exploring with my camera :grin:
-
Superb stuff, loving you're website. Those hospital and asylum photos are amazing, very spooky too, you can almost almost hear the screams........... :laugh:
-
Great pics! :happy2:
How do you get access to these places?
website is here for all to see.

Don't realise how lucky we are. Esp the kids tb hospital. Different times back then
Amazing pics tho

WOW you got talent!

Great photos. Reminds me of some time ago when I was searching for photos of the hospital I was born in and found a similar set. The graffiti still winds me up, even though these buildings were demolished nearly 10 years ago now...

Photos are amazing, must be very creepy in some of the places!

Awesome photos, thanks for sharing.
I'm assuming you are a member of 28 days later?

so many nice pics ! that's great ! thanks for sharing !
-
Some breath-taking shots on your website, truly sublime!
-
Great pics, but very eery.
-
I cant see any of those phitos ????
-
I cant see any photos either. I went to a few places when I was younger. An old RAF base, with old tanks left there. The best, or worst, was the Severalls asylum. Really spooky, especially the children ward. Had to climb along a tree branch and then drop down over the double fence. Then the best way to get out when you're done was to get caught by the security guard! One of the girls I went with said that once she and her friend went late, went upstairs but then couldnt find their way back downstairs as only a few staircases remaining and couldn’t get down until gone midnight – worse place to be trapped! Holes in the floors going down a few stories never mind the creepiness of it all. I have some pictures somewhere I will try to upload later!

Ooof... looks like good old Flickr deleted by page for some reason
The car graveyard pics are on my urbex photography site though if you want a look... second row of icons down:

Returned to the fold (Sold my MK5 GTi last October after 4 happy years... couldn't stand the boredom of Ford Focus ownership and PX'd it for a MK6 GTi last week) so will get some pics up... great to be back :happy2:
