Car Graveyard and Urban Exploration
« on: April 18, 2013, 07:41:24 pm »
Hi all,

Im fairley new to the site.. picked up my 06 plate GTi a few weeks ago and loved it so far... its gone back to the dealer for two days to have the cam chain replaced which will hopefully sort the TDi sound on tick over :D

Anyway, great to see a photography section, I'm into Urbex.. exploring abandoned old buildings and the like, my homepage with all my explores on is www.derpage.com and just thought I would share a few snaps

This was an old saw mill I stumbled upon in Lincs and found a load of old cars rotting away in collapsing barns!  :scared:

Will get some of the new GTi up when I get her back tomorrow and have given her a good polish... hopefuly sounding more big red Ferrari than big red tractor haha  :grin:

Thanks very much all.... access to the places is ususaly just comedy climbing.  I never create ways in so if there isnt an open one already I just toddle off somewhere else :-)

Probably spookiest places Ive found myself were this old Catholic Orphanage kids TB hospital












Mansfield General when I stumpled unbeknown into the morgue lol!







ohhh and the Lincolnshire Countly Lunatic Asylum was really atmospheric!








Reminded me of Shawshank lol!

I'm really intruiged mate, I love exploring and looking round these places, I can start with these places I know that you've found, do you need special permission to go there, or do you sort of break in? Or are they just open access but forgotten about and abandoned? And finally is there a database or something where I can look for places like this in my local area?

Love the photos  :drool: :drool:
