Everything Changes....
What were once dock yards on the Thames are now overpriced luxury apartments. The Hospitals which provided the cutting edge treatments of the day are now outmoded and often replaced with New Grey boxes. Industry has rapidly declined leaving whole areas deprived of jobs and vast factory's lay empty.
All of the changes in time are History and not all history can be found in books and sterile Museums. Abandoned and derelict spaces often retain the articles and memories of the people they once served.
All around the UK lie abandoned buildings waiting for demolition or reuse and when they are a portion of history will be lost forever.
