🌿 Nature takes over an old abandoned depot, filling the hallways with ferns and add a splash of green to the walls. Somewhere in England, rotting away in a small village.

I explored this place over the summer, on a long weekend road trip down south.

Somewhere in Portugal, this beautiful home is rotting and collapsing. The stairs are treacherous to climb, the facade is rending free.

How long until this one disappears forever?

🇮🇪🏫 An abandoned national school in Ireland.

Built in the 1940s, inside the decaying interior still has many original features. Rotting desks, collapsing backboards and cute brick fireplaces.

What is your favourite feature?

⚰️ I didn't expect to find a coffin inside this abandoned building, forgotten in a small village in Ireland.

This collapsing boarded-up building looked like it was once a post office. Needless to say I wasn't expecting to find a coffin sitting next to the shop counter. There was another one in the back room, still wrapped in plastic sheeting.

I have heard of diversifying your busiest but this is quite an extreme contrast 😱

🇫🇷 An abandoned farm house, somewhere in France

The facade is collapsing, creating an interesting scene. Standing inside you can look out across the overgrown garden. It feels like standing inside a giant doll's house!

A rusty, dusty 1950s Austin left languishing in a collapsing barn, next to an abandoned house. Somewhere in Ireland 🇮🇪

Does anyone know what model of car it is? I am guessing an A50, maybe.

Inside the heart of this anti-aircraft bunker lies the telecommunications systems. These 1950s systems were part of Scotland's Cold War defence network.

The small room is set up with switching modules, data recording units, and monitors. Fragments of a vintage paper tape punch system are lying on a charred desk. This equipment is a fascinating relic of the early era of computing before magnetic storage became available. There are several teleprinters, machines used to send and receive secure TELEX messages.

Sadly the room had suffered a fire a year or two ago, but still much of the equipment has survived (albeit a little charred)

The military built this site as an Anti-Aircraft Operations Room (AAOR) in the early 1950s. The reinforced concrete structure was part of the Cold War strategic defence network in Scotland.

The building received radar data from the Sector Operations Centre, relaying it to gun sites that safeguarded the east coast of the Lowlands.

Advancements in radar and missile technology made the system redundant only a few years after it opened.

The structure consists of a square, two-storey reinforced concrete shell. It lacks external windows to increase protection against attack and improve security. Steel blast doors secure the ground floor entrances on the east and west sides. Concrete blast walls provide extra protection for these doorways.

The interior contains a double-height central plotting area with an upper-level balcony. Narrow concrete corridors surround this central room. They lead to smaller operations and service rooms.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Cameron Mausoleum stands high above Loch Leven near Ballachulish, Scotland.

Architect Alexander Ross likely designed the Gothic structure in 1892. It served as the burial place for the Camerons of Fassifern and Callart.

Grey ashlar and sandstone detailing cover the exterior. The design features a pointed entrance and a rose window. Tombs with Celtic crosses mark the graves outside.

This lovely blue car caught my eye, peaking out from the weeds and long grass next to a small abandoned cottage. A quick U-turn, and it was time for an unexpected bonus roadside photoshoot 📷
