About buttonpresser

As a child my plane crashed in the Himalayas & I was raised by an advanced civilisation that taught me photography, ESP & precognition, no, wait that was the Champions wasn’t it?

Ah well, 50 & getting more muddled by the day.

Hope you enjoy my work, and feel free to buy anything you like enough. :-)

    A very cool capture..interesting story here!

  • Thanks Gena,

    It’s an odd one. I’d have thought the land itself was quite valuable, but it’s been derelict sometime.

    No problem Dave. Thanks for entering such an interesting image. This might sound stupid but I didn’t realise such places existed here in the UK (i.e. if somewhere is no longer in use, it usually gets removed and made use of again if you know what I mean?)

  • I was surprised too. It’s an area where property prices are pretty stable (i.e they’re not falling off the end of the richter scale), so I’m surprised it hasn’t been bulldozed & built on!
