visited with thenewmendoza

after years of looking at this and wondering what the hell it was, a chance find on a website reminded me of this place, a phonecall and a couple of days later, and in the absence of anything else local to look at we decided to take a peek!! this must be the wierdest row of houses i have ever seen, it is an absolute gem and must be seen before it is redeveloped!

built in 1876 by john edward wainhouse, wainhouse terrace originally consisted of a terrace of back to back houses with under dwellings, linked by a 200ft balcony with colonnade. the houses were demolished in 1972 for redevelopment, but the gallery, towers, and under dwelling frontages still remain as a grade 2 listed site.

*WARNING* please be VERY careful while visiting this site, as it has become a dumping ground for the local bagheads and there are piles of needles in some quite random places, so please take care!!

Great pics from a neat open site. I love the night atmosphere. I hope bring you some older day shots soon.
 
Nice one, Bungle. I thoroughly enjoyed this place.

I used to live down the road in Sowerby Bridge a few years back (was a dreadful period of my life, which is why I now call Halifax and surrounding areas 'The place we don't mention'), and drove past this place dozens of times, wasn't interested in UE back then though.

But having said that I may mention Wainhouse Terrace again, it was a really cool little explore (no more than 40 minutes or so), nice long exposures and a bit of lightpainting thrown in to boot, few strange looks from the locals too!!

Heres my pics, not too many as I think Bungle has it pretty much covered.

And just to reiterate Bungle's warning about the local addicts, this is just an example of a fairly small pile of needles lying around. Please be careful where you tread.

This report was brought to you by the power of the Fenix torch and the colour red.

TnM :)
