Fantastic!

I think that I might be able to add another abandoned site, the site of the International Garden Festival in Liverpool. Back in 1984 it was intended to restart Liverpools fortune by attracting thousands of visitors and new investment.

Hmmm, can anyone else see a pattern developing?

Hello everyone!
I`m too stupid to know how to post links and addresses....sorry.
However if you google 28days later you get to a fabulous urban exploration site.
It`s got everything old and decaying anyone could ever wish fo.
It`s got some brilliant links to ghost towns of america and everything.
Whoo hoo!
Anyway.......
That`s all.
TTFN!xxxxxx Confused Wink

Exploring abandonned buildings, bunkers, installations, tunnels and god knows what else seems to be quite a popular thing with some people, they'll take quite a lot of risks to get in places and get some cool photos of dereliction and decay.

Great photos; shame they think that Abkhazia is in Siberia when it's actually in the Caucusus though!

I'd like to get access to take more pictures before this is bulldozed. Almost in the centre of Manchester.

Cool stuff! Used to date a bird from Manchester and remember standing on Platform 14 many times, had no idea such a majestic old building was just metres away. Amazing it has survived for so long, you would have thought real estate would be pricey in that part of the city. Is there plans to demolish and develop on it?

A friend posted some pics on Facebook the other day of a cool abandoned Art Deco swimming pool that has become something of a graffiti den, not sure how to like to his Fbook gallery but have found some other online images on Flickr.

Nice. Old stations always look like somewhere that would be cool to live... I think it's all those episodes of The Tomorrow People that did it. Laughing

I remember watching "The Last Train" on the Sci Fi Channel, when I lived in Manchester, I didn't know that's where it was filmed!
