A final visit for me, Ali-Explores and MattPhotog..........we've all been before plenty of times........but this was definately the last for all of us.....fantastic light that morning...........loads of cat and mouse with the demo guys but a good laugh.

Still so much to see, for all those that are procrastinating about whether to go..........don't, go and see it as its going quick. I wont be back, want to remember how it was/is not a pile of rubble.

I have so much wide angle stuff from previous visits that I shot this whole lot @ 50mm

#14 - wow

Had so many good times here over the 6 trips I took last year and the failed one a few weeks back, will be so sad to watch the gradual erosion of places/things we all know from there and the inevitable demolition of most of it

I can imagine a depressing tick-box list of all the 'cliched'/famous bits going....
 
Some real nice shots there! I know what you mean about calling it a day - when I went last Sunday it was just depressing and almost didn't seem worth bothering with pics. I'll probably go one more time but like you, I've been plenty of times over the past few years.

Nice work, you captured the place really well.

Have many happy memories of this place, it's demise is a sad loss.
 
Really good shots Vic,when I last went to Hellingly,I too decided to do the whole lot in 50mm and it does make one take more care in composure...so easy to just set the cam on 10mm!
