This is the community centre / nursery at East Calder, Scotland. I had this one on my "to do" list for a while, but never got round to it. Drove past it the other day and my first though was "oh shit it's been set of fire!", but taking a closer look it apears it's in the middle of being demolished. So I got in there and grabbed a few snaps before it's completey forgoton about. Not the largest of sites, but I'm glad I got to grab some last minute shots that hopefully someone, some where down the line might apreciate! :mrgreen: Access was shocking, any 5 year old could walk in there and hurt them selves. This wasn't one of my "stealthiest" explores, but to be honest I wasn't bothered, I just wanted to get in there and back out with the pics before it was gone! All windows have been removed and roof tiles stripped.

Some pics:

So was I - Look at my age !

Used to be a bench techie on TV's so was around at this time in the morning fixing stuff.
 
Considering that demo was in progress, there's still a lot of little details in there. Nicely done!

And using flash in a place that's that open and visible to the public eye?! I'm surprised that you didn't get caught! :confused:

haha yeah I know! Been doing this for 5 years now, and it wasn't my usual style, but just wanted to get in there and grab what I could as it could be demolished the next day, so it was worth the risk in the end! Spent about 10 minutes and then buggered off. I'll post up the now "flattended" version of the sight asoon as.
