🔥Our history, going up in flames! What is happening in the UK? Fires are destroying so many of our historical Victoria mills.

Dalton Mills in Keighley had yet another “mysterious” fire a few weeks ago. I explored this spot a few years ago, now all this history is lost.

For future generations, I worry how much will be left of our British industrial heritage.

📷 To all those who wonder if my photos are AI, here is a photo of me with a Catbus in Japan (2019).

The world is filled with unusual treasure and beautiful abandoned places, I am too busy exploring and adventuring to bother with AI fakes 😇

Edendork Dance Hall was once a popular social venue during the Irish showband era between the 1960s and mid-1980s.

A grand blue dome hangs above the empty dance floor, and a lone microphone stands on the decaying stage.

Once a lively venue, it is now out of fashion and out of time. It has been demolished since my visit; now only photos remain.

This abandoned church lies tucked away on the fringes of a small English town. Standing on a small hill, making it a prominent landmark. The church was built in the 1880s and closed in the early 2010s.

🛒☢️ This supermarket stands frozen in time following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Located within the exclusion zone, it was evacuated without warning and has remained untouched since.

🔥The Kings Hall Methodist Church, in Southall (London). Built in 1916, left abandoned in 2013, and lost to a devastating fire in 2026.

This place has now been erased, and only photos remain. I was lucky enough to explore inside in 2022; although decaying, this place was still so beautiful 🩵.

🆕🧱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 New location feature: Porth Wen Brickworks, Wales

An abandoned Victorian firebrick factory on the picturesque coastline of Anglesey, Wales. These ruins stand at the edge of a secluded cove, the brick and stone structures slowly falling into the Irish Sea. Sea spray and weather relentlessly erode the remaining stone buildings.

💙A decaying split-flight staircase, inside an abandoned spa building.

🎭 Bringing down the house. A collapsing theatre I explored a few years ago, somewhere in Italy

Industrial ruins, a delightful mixture of shapes and shadows. Some look like faces; some look like animals. What shapes and forms does your unique imagination see in these scenes?

⛪ An abandoned chapel, somewhere in the north of France.

A large timber frame supports a collapsing ceiling; it now bears the weight of the stone arch and the roof above.

A small sapling grows from the ground in front of the altar. By some miracle nature has found a way inside and is thriving!

Rotting ballroom and roadside inn, for decades she was one of the main social venues in Gärtitz, Germany. Demolished around 2022.

⛪️🇵🇹 A small but pretty abandoned chapel ruin, somewhere in Portugal

An abandoned Roman Catholic church in northern England. Constructed in the 1960s during a period of transition within the Catholic Church, the design features contemporary architecture and beautiful glasswork.

On the western wall, a dalle de verre features coloured glass set into a concrete frame depicting religious iconography.

The church closed nearly 15 years ago; the failing roof needs costly repairs,

🚗🏕️ Out of Office. BRB, AFK! I am off again on another adventure exploring lost places!

This week I am over in Ireland, hitting the road and wild camping in the forests. Catch you all when I get back, hope you have an amazing week. 💙🙏
