Abandoned Hotels, Various Locations, England
from www.abandoned-britain.com
I must explore the web site that’s the source for this!
I thought I’d give this website a mention, it’s great…
The website documents very sad photo’s of once successful and thriving institutions, mighty Victorian mental asylums, factories, hospitals and once grand hotels from the hey-days of British seaside holidays,I’d highly recomend having a browse of the great photographs on the site, they’re taken in a very creative stance and have a strong narrative and statement about them, it’s quite reassuring to know that even though these fantastic buildings have been let down that somebody cares enough to document and preserve what remains of their dignity before, inevitably, many of them are demolished or left to collapse.
Quote from the website:
‘Britain is a country dotted with the decaying ruins from its past. The face of the country has seen great changes moving away form its industrial past, towards a new and less certain future. The buildings and institutions that belong to another era have been left to rot, alone and forgotten.
From mental hospitals to massive mills I have been visiting some of Britain’s most Inspiring (and in some cases uninspiring) modern ruins. This website creates a record of places before their destruction, Creating a permanent archive of images.’
*I did request permission from the website owner about a month ago to use these photo’s on my blog but I never received a reply so until contested I shall continue to shed positive praise on his work

Something both sad and romantic about this. A saltwater swimming pool in Scotland! BTW, was able to find out that this is a listed historic site. Here’s a news item and here’s the Wikipedia entry.
