We'd had a few early morning fails, with places being locked tight, so we were heading to our next site slightly dismayed. Out of the blue a derelict roofscape appeared on the horizon. Not even knowing what it was we had to stop for a look. Turns out its an old railway sidings / workshop.
Despite the state of the place the light, and the atmosphere in there was lovely.
After about ten minutes a few kids arrived. I hoped they were harmless, and gave them the 'thumbs up' salute from a distance. They approached with a questioning "Catacombs?". We shrugged as we didn't have a clue what they were on about. Then they beckoned us with a more definite "Catacomb!". Putting our curiosity before our safety we followed them blindly, hoping they weren't about to insist upon a 'camera tax'.
Luckily they turned out to be sound. A few minutes later we were being ushered down a small stairway into a complex of air raid shelters! Thanks guys!
After a while we said our "Au Revoirs" and they wandered back into the undergrowth, and we wandered back through the sidings, grabbing a couple more shots on the way back to the car:
Thanks for looking:
