General Photo Thread

A couple of shots from an absolute wreck of a care home I popped into on the way home at the weekend. Strathmore House near Elm has been closed for well over a decade, I'd had it pinned for ages as I couldn't remember seeing any photos from it before, and I reckon I was about eight years too late. It's only slightly more structurally stable inside than the Old Rectory in Rampton, and much more of a mess.

1/10 wouldn't go again, but if you don't at least look your itch will never be scratched.

Little adit at White Coppice near Rivington/Anglezark, Bolton. There seems to have been some lead mining in the area so possibly related to that.

MK1 TSO M4932 at Wishaw January 2023

Tourist Second Open or Tourist Standard Open, abbreviated to TSO, is a type of British Railways coach. The designation "Tourist" was originally as opposed to a normal SO (Second Open) coach. Both types have the same number of seating bays per coach, but the TSO has four seats across, arranged 2+2 either side of a central aisle. The Mark 1 TSO contains eight seating bays, three transverse entrance vestibules, and two toilets arranged either side of a central corridor leading to the gangway at one end. The eight bays are distributed along the coach in two saloons of four bays either side of the almost-central door vestibule (this is slightly offset towards one end by the presence of the toilets at the other end), and the saloon nearest to the toilets is further divided into two saloons of two bays each by a transverse partition.

Maybe not appropriate for a full report, but here's a dilapidated old house/cabin nestled deep in Woodlands south of Hull. To most, this would be a bit of a derp, but due to the remote location and the construction style of the building, I thought it was lovely. Also free of graffiti other some words scratched in/written with chalk on some of the walls.

Nice, South of Hull though? It's deep within the Humber Estuary?

I initially did Stewartby Brickworks back in 2019 and was my second report on here. I haven't visited since they demolished the chimneys and was keen to go back and have a look to see what's left. Quite a bit remains, but as I have visited many times in the past I decided to focus on some of the smaller little bits that I didn't pay much attention to in the past. I found some nice smaller rooms/workshops that I thought were pretty photogenic:

For anyone who still hasn't visited, in my opinion, it is still worth a look. But there is now pretty on-the-ball security believe it or not but they are not 24hr.

@tweek @albino-jay as requested.. bog standard mill floor with a nice view. One of them that are nicer on the outside than in i think, although I wonder what the engineering workshop is like inside across the pond in the old weaving shed, hopefully pretty decant - the old engineer machinist who looks after the workshop was out and it was tipping it down so didn't get to it (usually the door is open) one for another time!
