Places I’ve been and photographed — mines, drains, factories and whatever else was still standing. Kept here so I can look back on it, and so other people can see it. Locations stay deliberately vague.
Étang de Beaulieu Pumping Station
A pumping station on a Breton étang, left to the tide and the weather.
Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College
A closed college in Chigwell, its halls and classrooms left as they were.
Archway Hospital (Holborn Union Infirmary)
The disused Victorian infirmary and Nightingale wards of the former Archway Wing — abandoned medical apparatus, peeling institutional corridors, and gothic towers above Highgate Hill.
Coulsdon Deep Shelter
A wartime deep shelter dug beneath the grounds of Cane Hill Asylum, cut short by chalk. Photographs digitally stripped of graffiti to show what lies underneath.
Stewartby Brickworks
Once the largest brickworks in the world. A photographic series through the chimneys, kilns and machine halls before the last of it came down.
Totnes Dairy Crest Milk Factory
A 1930s Cow & Gate creamery built onto the bones of an atmospheric railway pumping station. Silent since 2007, and now a genuinely dangerous ruin.
Browne's Folly Mine
A Bath stone mine near Bathford — nineteenth-century workings, wartime storage, miners' graffiti, and the horseshoe bats that now have the run of it.
River Wandle Culvert
The Wandle buried and forgotten under Croydon — a river that once ran through pleasure gardens, now culverted and undocumented.
Balneario de Azuaje
A thermal spa hotel in a Canarian ravine, built on waters people had come to for centuries, abandoned and slowly returning to the gorge.
