United Mersey Supply Company, Liverpool - January 2016

We have never had much luck in Liverpool, at all. Then Mr Blacksnake joined the ranks of Team Weasel and everything changed, Scousers are very passionate about their city and are full of, well, insight.

Back in December I sent a photo I had found to Mr Blacksnake and the chap instantly identified the exact spot and was round there in a flash to take a look.

Come January Tbolt, ZerO81 and my good self ignored the doom laden weather forecast and headed down the East Lancs Road for a bit of Mersey Warehouse Derp with our new found Liverpudlian cultural guide.
 


This rather very goosed,  rather wet, warehouse was rather a good mooch despite our first misgivings.

































With Blacksnakes picnic surprise and additional catering by Sans Cafe oh we do like a bit of Liverpool warehouse mooching 8/10

St Johns Road, Huddersfield - January 2015

Whilst pottering around the old Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, Kirklees College a chance bump into a group of fellow photographers tipped us off on a roll through pigeon shit in the rain into this derelict industrial site on the road out of Huddersfield.

Tbolt and myself pulled up for a wander around this death trap of building to round our day off in Yorkshire. Sadly a schoolboy error meant we didn't see as much of the building as we could have, as elderly gentlemen we forgot the full instructions from the kindly photographers until we set off home in the car.
 










 





Rather liked this place, Yorkshire derp you just can't beat it. 6/10

Huddersfield Royal Infirmary & Kirklees College - January 2016

Start the New Year on the tourist trail I say, and so we did. Tbolt and myself hopped into this now very popular Yorkshire spot in the heart of the area now know as Happy Valley.

This now disused building closed its doors in only 2013, once hospital, once college, now sits rapidly rotting and is occasionally used as a film location - it is vast and a maze corridors and stairwells.



For this little explore we will stick to the older part of the building, through its darkened corridors.



















An excellent explore, with a full on scare for all who enter giving it an 8/10 and chance encounter with another photographer sent us on to our next Huddersfield destination,

DYL Motor Group, Halifax - January 2016

Sometimes you follow crowd, I think none of us really had high hopes for this place, but you do it. Nothing ventured and all that. The chap the suggested the place couldn't even be arsed to turn up...

So welcome to Happy Valley or to be more specific the now derelict buildings of DYL Motor Group, of Halifax as visited by Judderman, Tbolt, Luigi and my good self one rather damp January morning.

Derp 2/10 - but whilst in the area we went on the search of what Hillary Briss would call "special stuff"

St John the Evangelist's Church, Crawshawbooth - December 2015

Opening in 1892 this rather large church closed in 2012 following a fall in the congregation and a series of lead thefts which left an estimated repair bill of £500,000. The church sits covered in a thick yellow/orange dust with roof damage slowly eating away at this Grade II listed building.

The building was listed on The Victorian Society Top 10 Endangered List  in 2013 and is also listed by English Heritage as At Risk with a condition of Very Bad.



Visited with ZerO81 and Judderman, Tbolt having wandered in the day before. This wonderful church had been on our radar for a while and it would seem to be now firmly placed on the tourist trail.





















Its a very long and very narrow walk up the to the bell tower, one your not going to forget in a hurry as when do finally get up to the top there is very little to see other than a roof in a shocking state of repair, lots of pigeon shit and then you have to come down again.





So if an extremely dusty, darkened church is your thing then its a 9/10 otherwise your looking at a 5 or possibly a 4.

Merry Christmas folks, see you all in the New Year.
