Historical

Here I will post information on historical sites that I visit. These may include industrial sites such as iron works or lime works and also some oddities of the past that need to be preserved.

As is the case with much of my content I will include many sites that are either derelict or in a poor condition and may be overlooked because of their condition or location.

many of these sites I find have fascinating history to them.

I currently cross-post the same information across two blogs, Blogger site and Behance.
The main reason for this is that in the past I have lost the information on my blog posts by the blog site shutting down.
I hope cross-posting will at least provide one solution for some longevity. The blogger site will have visit information details including information on the exact location and also information on parking and facilities close by which I hope you may find a help if you are going to visit the sites. I try to be as helpful as I can but if you think you might need more information then please feel free to contact be at the email address below and I will try and be of help. The Behance site will not have this additional information but will instead have higher resolution images.
Note: The Behance site may not work on a mobile if this is the case for you then please click HERE for my "front Page"
