Sneak Peak

This year I've truly hit the ground running with my abandoned project. Some astonishing places visited, and some of my favourite photos yet have come to fruition as a result. A whole bunch of articles & albums will be coming to the site very soon.

Preview 1. The Orphanage:

Situated in north west England, this victorian orphanage is an absolute spectacle. Primarily built as an institute for the 'sick poor', run by the sisters of the diocese it had heavy religious foundations throughout it's service and was most recently used as a hospital and a care home having had numerous new buildings extended within its grounds. My visit marked the 30th anniversary of it's subsequent closure in 1986.

Preview 2. The Infirmary

The colossal campus in west yorkshire. Spanning over ten connected buildings constructed over several eras, the infirmary had so many layers of history hidden within it's walls. Founded in 1831 the original structure included Turkish and Russian medicated baths and even had an electro-medical department. The Infirmary was also approved for the treatment of Veneral Diseases. After relocating to a new hospital, the infirmary buildings were sold to the towns leading college in the late 60's who thoroughly extended upon the existing site and by 1978 there were 8,000 Students in attendance until the college received a grant to relocate to a new £70m waterfront development in 2012. The site they left behind is littered with empty science classrooms and beauty therapy training equipment. One section of the college was even used by Yorkshire police for training and the main building with it's grand sandstone collumns was used to film psychological thriller "Extremis", starring David O’Hara. I was lucky enough to photograph the set that the crew left behind.

These are just a few of the places set to appear on the site - Watch this space!
