Derelict buildings needed!

psybear

Slightly unusual request perhaps. As part of a photography project I need to identify some derelict buildings. They would need to be accessible (I.e. without running the risk of arrest!) and not be completely shuttered (need some natural light).

I'm in Belfast but don't mind travelling to the right spot. Buildings could be old schools, factories, warehouses, even ordinary houses.

Grateful for any pointers folks...

What about the old airfield at Millise & Ballyhalbert?...

For the Millisle one,as you go past Four Road Ends towards Donaghadee,you'll pass a garage/car wash on the left & go up a steep hill,as the road drops down it's just down there on the right.Mostly they are old barrack blocks

Manchester, the whole outer suburbs are derelict, thousands of buildings and once shops stand rotting.

spike - thanks, looks very promising. Think I've found the Millisle one on Google Earth and Ballyhalbert also looks a possibility.

As for the other suggestions - thanks also but they do need to be easily accessible (I want to get inside) and within a reasonable travelling distance of Belfast (at least in Northern Ireland!).

Keep them coming folks, appreciate it.

You could also google it as there`s plenty of places in northern ireland and you`ll also find that finding a few places yourself is more rewarding. Rather than getting other people to do your leg work.

What a helpful post.
