…yeah it surely is…I guess that everything has a lifespan and eventually buildings will come to the end of theirs as well…sometimes before their time…?..as sadly sometimes life does…

Probably an absolute money pit to restore but older architecture is so much more beautiful imo

…yeah, to restore and to maintain and heat etc I think is the thing why so many are abandoned and there just isn’t the funding to bring them back…there’s an American renovation series I like to watch with a couple who live in a small town …many of the residents left to find employment as businesses died locally and the homes became derelict …they’ve spent many years bringing those homes back to life and encouraging people back to the area…and supporting businesses as well…it’s such a joy to see the homes being loved again…

That's a bit creepy

[ChristmasNeeve]

It's like straight out of an Apocalypse movie

…there’s something so eerie and ghostly in an abandoned fairground scene, I’m pretty sure there would be zombies there and I’m pretty sure that if you visited…?…you would never be seen again…

Inside Scotland's abandoned Clune Park estate

A derelict housing estate dubbed "Scotland's Chernobyl" for its eerie ghost-town like appearance is finally about to be razed to the ground.

The tenements at Clune Park in the town of Port Glasgow were built a century ago as housing for shipyard workers but many have lain empty for decades.

A stand-off between private landlords and the local council has thwarted redevelopment, leaving the site frozen in time with just a handful of tenants remaining.

Demolition contractors are expected on site within days, preparing to take down a third of the buildings, including a church and fire-damaged school, after they were condemned as structurally unsafe.

especially when you think of the work and the time that went into them.
I can appreciate the dark pasts of the magdalene laundry, however could it not be turned into something to benefit young mothers in some way?

It's was burned down, they think on purpose
