Some old coastal defences in Wanli on the North-East coast of Taiwan, presumably built by the Japanese during their occupation of the then Formosa during WWII.

Didn't really spend too much time trying to get in as this wasn't the main attraction here - report on what was coming soon! Hence popping these few snaps in here:

Went back to Tyting Farm on the way home at the weekend as my friend wanted to see it being a rural country farmer girl.

I was quite happy not taking photos as I'd already been back in the spring but then imagine my surprise when I found the once secured milking shed had been opened up. Totally the best part of this old farm by a long way! So out came the camera and I snapped a few photos...

Spotted this place today. It's the former Heeley National School, Gleadless Road, Sheffield. Built as a 'charity' school in 1801 it's been empty for some time and is in a state of disrepair.

Whilst in the area over the weekend, and after seeing the masses of anti climb paint slathered liberally all over everything at TG Greens I decided to finally take a look at somewhere I had been seeing online for years but never made it to - the infamous abandoned car dealership in Church Gresley. The owner abandoned the site in 2002 due to ill health and left the cars inside, and over the last fifteen years it has gradually been emptied bit by bit as all the cars are still for sale (but probably for ridiculous money!). The owner checks up on it and cuts the grass outside occasionally.

The only cars left inside as of September 2017 are an Austin Maestro, Vauxhall Cavalier and Rover 800 with no wheels. I should have got a wide shot of the whole frontage but it was pouring with rain so I didn't want to expose my already ropey camera to too much in the way of water!

This deco style building is the former Fable cafe on Ashgate Road, Broomhill, Sheffield. It's nothing more than a shell now so popping it in here. The Broomhill library round the corner was set to move to the building but it never transpired and now it stands empty.

This was a cafe? Wow, looks like my style of eatery/coffee shop as I love art deco and the sixties style of cafes and coffee shops.

I know everyone has been here, but I was in the area so figured it'd be rude not to. Very fun climb, worth it just for the experience.

[cogito]

It's an old slate mine. Getting down there is great fun.

For a better sense of scale, you can see the same chain in both photos.

They must be saving Ollerton Hall for something else. Such as converting it into apartments.

Backlog of derelict buildings over the last two weeks. Today, I found some derps I could get inside.
