Well this is my first real post so I thought I would make it a good one!! (Hopefully)… I have only been on this site for a few weeks now and I am already hooked. It all started at work. I am a qualified graphic designer & photographer however I have an office job to pay the bills…. I work in Coventry on the old Marconi site where they are currently demolishing the whole place for houses etc. From my office window I can see what they are doing to the place and really wanted to get my camera in there before it was gone forever.
A few weeks ago I made the effort to try and get in however I was soon stopped by security and told to go away!! Really annoyed by this I went onto the internet to see what I could find on the history of the building and stumbled onto this website.
I could not have found the site at a better time as I was just about to start a two week holiday for Easter… Looking around I soon found out that there were far better and more accessible locations all around the UK and that was it….I literally packed my bag and went on a road trip for a few days… No planning, no nothing really. I just found the locations, got my bag and drove…
Here is what I came up with…..
Blackburn Royal Infirmary 02-04-2010
Brecon and Radnor Joint Lunatic Asylum 05-04-2010
North Wales Hospital, Denbigh 07-04-2010
You have all read the history for all these places so I don’t really need to go into detail about that… Just want to say its been a very interesting week and I have over 3000 stunning photos… I don’t know how i am going to get them into order but this is a start… These places really are a photographers playground!
Hope you like them!
