Hi Everyone,
Had the privelege for a good while now of reading and viewing with enthuasiasm your loving descriptions and photography of these wonderful places around us. I have definitely gained a lot and learned a lot.(no doubt you've all got people who think we waste our time on these places or just don't get it because they've never been!) I haven't had the chance to visit many of these sites because I've mainly been concentrating on one. Greaves Hall, Banks, West Lancashire.
I've been making a feature film for the past four and a half years. I posted a scene from it on youtube which was shot entirely inside Greaves Hall (apart from a few shots). The film isn't finished yet and this scene needs re-editing but it gives those who haven't had the pleasure a glimpse of the inside (some of which isn't there anymore). Hopefully I've captured some of the beauty; although the rest of the film uses the surrounding derelict landscape and buildings to tell my story (set in a derelict future, !!)
I have loads of photos which I will upload soon (3-400 hundred shots which will take a while to scan as they're plastered all over my sloped ceiling.
For those of you who have heard of Greaves Hall and for those of you who haven't;
Watch this, not for me lumbering around doing my best to act, but for Greaves Hall, which, I'm sure, as it has in the past, will succumb to strategically places fires from the hands of developers.
Anyway, there's a few photos here,
(it seemed like a good idea at the time)

(Sorry, you'll have to log in to see the photos, I can't get into my own profile anymore-forgot the email & password!!)
And this is the scene from the film, which is called Distant Shore. (It begins with an old photo and merges into the present.

All the best & try to visit what's left of this beaut before it's gone.
