✈️ 🚂 🚗 Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a cable car!) 🚡

Old cars taken for one last drive and dumped in forests. Cable cars left in silent stations. Soviet-era planes, once gate guardians to old air bases, now just an out-of-place curiosity. Huge rusting steam trains languishing in old collapsing depots.

⚡🌊 Centrale Idroelettrica. A utilitarian-style Art Deco powerplant, somewhere in Italy.

It powered an electrochemical complex that was a key part of the steel industry. Targeted by WWII bombing raids due to its strategic importance, it was partially restored in the 1960s. Eventually, it closed in the 1970s.

Hospital No. 126 – Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, #Ukraine

It served Prypiat residents and workers, it became a primary site of emergency care during the 1986 disaster.

The first firefighters from Reactor No. 4 were brought here for decontamination. Their radioactive uniforms left in the basement, which remains sealed due to the contamination.

The upper floors contain a maternity ward with baby cots & toy left behind.

The far South West of England is home to many clapper bridges. They are made of large, flat, stone slabs, supported by stone piers, and are mostly medieval in origin.

An abandoned nine-pin bowling alley, somewhere in Germany 🇩🇪

The was built for nearby factory workers in the 1950s.

By the 1980s it was abandoned and left to decay. The wooden floorboards are now rotting and splintered, with sapling trees beginning to grow through the lanes.

⚠️ Hazardous pay. Emergency response centre and medical wing of an abandoned bromine works in North Wales

Bromine is a hazardous chemical. To manage these risks, the site has an emergency response centre stocked with safety equipment.

Nearby is an on-site medic office

In the 1990s, the plant experienced a significant incident where the release of toxic bromine gas injured workers and forced local residents to stay indoors.

An abandoned rusting industrial ruin in North Wales.

This former industrial site was used to extract bromine. Established to produce fuel additives for leaded petrol, the works transitioned to bulk bromine and sulphuric acid production in the 1960s.

However, a major fire and a toxic gas leak in the 1990s left five people injured. The plant was decommissioned in the mid-2000s.

🆕 🚢 🇬🇧 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.

Wow! I just saw a trailer for Russell Crowe's new flick called "Nuremberg" where he plays Göring. Göring is a mystery. He never _directly_ had anything to do with anything per se but let his Gestapo do it, which were pretty much left to their own devices. Stephen Miller really is a spittin' image of Göring. But even that sort of let the dogs deal with it still got him hung because they were HIS dogs. This looks AWESOME #movies #history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvAy9C-bipY
