Hi guys, hope you can bear with me, first time posting & not sure what's accepted/expected! or even how to post photos throughout this post!
I train at Maloney's Gym in Marsh Mills, Huddersfield. Place fascinates me anyway, but I also have access to the derelict unit beneath the top-floor gym, so have been in there making the most of it recently to experiment a bit with my camera. This is a new interest for me, & the mill is the only place (haha other than my fascinating garden shed!!) that I've been able to utilise so far.

I love the interplay of straight lines through this pic.

What a work of art!

Maybe a bit of a cliched shot but hey can't beat the classics!!

Unused door. Note the rat-hole at bottom right!! It's a hardcore gym, we have hardcore rats lol!

Looking up from under the old fire alarm, made in Manchester like me.

This sloping roof covered stairs down to the underground toilets.

The mill complex, opposite the stairs up to the gym.

The stairs up to the gym on the top floor, a workout in themselves. Our milkman's got awesome legs....

Inside the derelict unit underneath the gym, years back it was used as a dance studio, been abandoned for a long time.

Inside the unit. There were an amazing amount of different shaped & coloured balls all over the place.

Finally I hope this doesn't cross any lines - I did a nude photoshoot in the derelict unit, all very tasteful, and something of an experience for someone with no self-confidence. Haha, the only problem with that was I've got no one I can show the pics to!! Hope no one takes offence, wasn't meant that way & this is the most distant one of me!!
The gym has been thriving on the top floor of the mill for 25 years, I've been training there for around 16 of them. The units underneath are a terrible waste of potential and I'm just pleased to have been allowed access to them. The nude shoot was a bit scary - no way of locking or blocking the door...anyone could've walked in - lent a buzz to the whole experience!!
Hope this post is ok for the site
