Oriental City, Colindale, May 2011

 

I'd been hoping to check out Oriental city out for a few months now but it wasn't until a failed attempt at St Josephs Collage that we decided to head over and check it out.. The shopping centre which specialised in oriental foods closed on 1 June 2008 and has layed there disused since.

Severalls Mental Asylum, Colchester, May 2011.

 I've been to Severalls on a few different occasions over the years but due to it's immense size I always found myself  pushing forward eagerly wanting to see as much as possible in the time available. Although the outcome was that I never found the time to stop and take photos. But during this visit I swore I would spend some quality time trying to do just that.

Transco Laboratory, Herts, April 2011.

 

I'm quite embarrassed to say that I've been walking past this place for years without even noticing it existed, Let alone realising it is disused. The buildings are hidden in the middle of a circle of trees and shrubbery so its difficult to notice from a public point of view.

After realising that it was indeed closed down I scouted out the perimeter and with the company of Peach we went back the following day to see what we could find.

Flashback 2009: McMullens Brewery, Hertford

This site is currently being converted into a Sainsbury's so I decided to update on here with some photos I took shortly after the brewery closed its doors in September 2008 there was plenty to see and it was in great condition by any ones standards.

I can't help but feel slightly attached to the building and It's a great shame to see it go.

Musley Infants School, Ware, Herts. March 2011

 

At last my first successful solo explore, I've known about this little school since it closed but as with most explores on your doorstep they just tend to get ignored. Unfortunatly the pigeons have managed to get in and leave there waste everywhere and I mean everywhere the hole building is a huge pigeon shit hole!

Ignoring that it has some nice little qualities like the arched door frames and large church like windows.
