  🏰 Chateau de la Poupeliere in Normanby, France. I took this photo of the chateau in its abandoned condition a few years ago. Another classic spot, now under renovation (perhaps completed by now!) #Chateau #Renovation #Photography #Abandoned #France #Explore #LostPlace

  🆕🧱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 New location feature: Porth Wen Brickworks, Wales An abandoned Victorian firebrick factory on the picturesque coastline of Anglesey, Wales. These ruins stand at the edge of a secluded cove, the brick and stone structures slowly falling into the Irish Sea. Sea spray and weather relentlessly erode the remaining stone buildings.

  🏚️An abandoned house somewhere in rural England, largely untouched since its last occupant left. The house features a traditional vintage English bedroom. The decor is a mix of 1940s/1950s items. There are numerous clocks and pocket watches, as well as a vintage Jones sewing machine. #Vintage #England #Photography #Timecapsule #LostPlaces #Story

  👻 After three visits, I still get goosebumps as I push open the heavy doors and step inside once more. This spectacular control room was built in the 1920s in Art Deco style. Natural light enters through an immense central skylight. Levers, switches, and dials line the walls, while crescent-shaped panels encircle the space. A concrete bunker with a steel door stands to one side, built to protect workers during WW2 air strikes. #ArtDeco #Photography #Architecture #Hungary #LostPlace #Adventure

  The ruins of Falcon Works, located in Hanley (Stoke-on-Trent, England). Demolition work started on this Grade II Listed building last year. Soon after, work was halted while investigations were done due to concerns the historic kiln had been damaged. #Hanley #StokeOnTrent #History #Pottery

  The once top-secret abandoned bomb facility hidden in an old slate mine. Step inside the subterranean labyrinth of Llanberis Bomb Store, Wales. In the 1930s the slate quarry became a vast RAF munitions store. In January 1942, the roof collapsed burying 14,000 tonnes of bombs (14% of Britain's stock). It took until the 1970s to fully clear the site of bombs. #Llanberis #WorldWar2 #Engineering #History #Explore #Underground #WW2

  🦭 Flipper Friday! I'm behind (again) with my usual photo editing and website articles, but for the best possible reason! Had to give this furry baby a lift to rehab, he is a feisty little Grey Seal pup who kept trying snack on my fingers! Speedy recovery little one 💙 #Seal #Wildlife #Rescue #Volunteer

  A beautiful abandoned ballroom in Georgia, built during the Soviet period. There are tales that Joseph Stalin himself danced on the polished wooden floors here on more than one occasion. #Photography #Soviet #History #Abandoned #Travel

  ⛪ An abandoned chapel, somewhere in the north of France. A large timber frame supports a collapsing ceiling; it now bears the weight of the stone arch and the roof above. A small sapling grows from the ground in front of the altar. By some miracle nature has found a way inside and is thriving! #France #Urbex #Photography #History #Chapel #Church #Ruins

  📜 Fine Décor Wallcoverings factory, Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. This factory closed after 150 years manufacturing quality wallpaper. The site was demolished in 2021.

  🆕🏛️ New location feature: New Parliament House (Old Royal High School), Scotland The UK government bought the site in the 1970s, planning to house the proposed Scottish Assembly here. The failed 1979 devolution referendum left the building in limbo. In 2026, it is being renovated into an event space.

  🏰 Château Secession, an abandoned chateau in France that appears filled with relics. Enigmatic and atmospheric, right? Well, not quite. The collection seems to be a hobbyist's personal trove of cheap props and tat, rather than priceless artefacts. For example, the "cannon" was just a pipe balanced on some old cart wheels. The samurai sword was a cheap plastic child's toy, and the globe was likewise a modern trinket. #Photography #Story #France #Chateau #AbandonedPlaces

  This 1920s Art Deco crematorium in Romania served the country's secular minority until it was closed in the 1990s. During the Romanian Communist party rule, crematoriums became the state-sanctioned funeral method of the Soviet-backed regime (as well as a convenient way to dispose of those who fell out of favour with the party). #ArtDeco #Romania #History #Photography #Cremation #Crematorium

  The ruins of a Buzludzha, a communist monument perched atop an icy mountain in Bulgaria. I was lucky enough to visit before work began and photograph it in its abandoned state. The climb in was very dangerous; I almost gave up but was so pleased I conquered my fears! #Bulgaria #History #Photography #Abandoned #Ruins #Mural #Mosaic #Monument

  🏥The Red Cross Hospital, an abandoned sanatorium in Italy. Located atop a remote hill over 1,000 metres above sea level. In the years before antibiotics, facilities like this were the only treatment for many respiratory diseases. The site closed in the 1980s. Today, metal beds stand in silent dormitories, and trees grow inside the bathrooms. https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/medical/red-cross-hospital-italy/ #Italy #History #Photography #UrbanExploration #AbandonedPlaces #Sanatorium

  🦆 Ay up, duck! These 1960s vehicles are Alvis Stalwart, left abandoned in the forest somewhere in Scotland. British soldiers nicknamed them the Stolly. These 6x6 high-mobility transports are amphibious; they run on land and float in water. Two vector-thrust jets propel them through rivers and lakes. Kind of like massive, angry metal ducks. #Military #Scotland #History #WeirdCarMastodon #Photography #Forest #Machine #Vehicle #Truck

  🏚️ So, I bought an abandoned school in Scotland! Goodbye Manchester, hello to a new adventure! After a year of architects, engineers, plans and permits....I am excited to start work on renovations! Brief post on Patron, with history and photos of the "treasures" left inside. Including newspapers for the Chernobyl disaster and a very out of tune piano.
