Those are good. More please.
We all have a niche that we like photographing.............mine is old Hospitals and Asylums.........I could show some right freaky ones.........but alas they were taken on digital
Thanks everyone glad you liked them..........you never know how a bit of UE is going to be received
The OP says - all taken with M4 on Fuji Superia 200! 😕Digital or not - don't hold back! I'd love to see more of this kind of thing 😀 it makes a refreshing change!
I think that it stands for Urban Exploration . Urbex is sometimes used.OK, I''ll ask: What is UE? Urban Entropy? Sounds reasonable. I usually think Urban Decay, but hey, I'm on the other side of the pond.

That`s bleak stuff. I wonder when it was built. Guess it fell into disuse after the "care in the community "initiative came in.Got allot of that in Reading ? I thought it was IT central for the south.
Referred to by David Cochrane as "the eleventh and the last great asylum built for London's insane" West Park Asylum sits derelict between Epsom and Horton. built by William C Clifford Smith between 1912 and 1921 the asylum is of the Villa Design with an impressive admin block at the front and two storey wards coming off the sides in an almost symmetrical way one side female and one side male. At one time the Asylum housed 2045 patients.
The Site became completely closed apart from a small section at the rear in 2003 after around 5 years of running down.
The hoover race is interesting. kind of completely surealistic.
Ok yes UE is Urbex or Urban Exploration........
