🎭 Abandoned theatres and cinemas all over England. I have explored and photographed many of these fragile auditoriums over the last 10 years. Which one is your favourite?

Mine is the blue and lime green one, because it matches my hair!

Little Nellies Diner, Newbury, England. This American Diner once transported customers back in time to 1950s USA. I took photos of it after it closed down, the flooded floor colonised by green algae and decay starting to set in.

🔥🚒🇬🇧 Collection of vintage fire trucks, left abandoned in old farm buildings

These types of vehicles are more typically called “airport crash tenders” rather than “fire trucks/engines”. An airport crash tender is a specialised fire engine designed for airfield use.

These are 1970s/1980s Denis-Thorneycroft Nubian Major trucks. They were retired in the 1990s, replaced by the next generation of firefighting trucks.

🆕 🚢 🇬🇧 New location feature: The Pearl of the Dane, England.

This abandoned floating restaurant is moored along a riverbank. This old Danish fishing boat was given a facelift to look like a 1920s-style paddle steamer!

It opened as an 80-seater restaurant serving exotic dishes. The novelty faded quickly, and it closed just 18 months later. It has sat #abandoned for 25 years.

Britains penchant for self destruction

While I don’t agree with all of the article, the general thrust seems to be on the money. And Westminster has caught the bug badly.

Although making England independent would solve many of the problems we have in the other three nations.

From the linked article, a photograph of Starmer with the text 


Britain’s penchant for self-destruction
Political instability saps confidence, investment and policymakers’ bandwidth 

Britain’s past decade has been a picture of political chaos.
Next week marks 10 years since then prime minister David Cameron announced a date for what he had earlier described as a “very simple” in-or-out referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU. (Voters and politicians are still debating what the ballot meant.)
When the Leave campaign won he jumped ship, leaving fellow Conservative Theresa May to define Brexit. She called an election to strengthen her mandate but achieved the opposite.

🎭 The show must go on! An abandoned theatre, somewhere in England. Looking across the upper balcony seating, at the old VIP box. I wish I could have seen a play here, sipping prosecco in my own private booth. A girl can dream 😊
