Partly illuminated back alley, Lancaster, 2025

A dimly lit alley at night with rough, gravel ground. Tall buildings line both sides, and a few cars are parked near the end of the alley, illuminated by a streetlight. Light spills from wall-mounted lamps, casting deep shadows along the alley’s walls.

Williamson Power Station, Lancaster, 2025 (again)

An old red-brick industrial building, partially demolished, stands behind metal fencing and rubble piles. Its tall chimney is intact, while the right side reveals exposed steel framework. The sky is clear blue, and debris is scattered in the foreground.

My favourite derelict power station looking resplendent in spring light 🥰

Photographer bait, Lancaster, 2025

Leaving a wee kids’ bike in front of a decaying warehouse on an industrial estate just as the sun sets behind it, to me, is like the proverbial van full of sweets. After deviating from my route back from the gym to take a photo, I’m surprised I’m not in some basement with my face on a milk carton right now.

A small purple and white child’s bicycle stands alone in front of a large, old stone industrial building with a blue metal roller door. The concrete yard is empty except for scattered debris and a puddle near the street in the foreground.

Check out the concrete planters beneath the windows!

A three-story apartment building with rectangular windows and a flat roof sits behind a sloped grassy lawn. Potted plants are visible on window ledges. Bare tree branches frame the image above, and an old brick wall and metal gate are in the foreground.

Lancaster, 2025

I’ve had wineeeee at the French restaurant, so this is all you’re getting. The photo came out kinda neat though.

A wet, winding path is illuminated by street lamps at night. The trail is bordered by trees and foliage, with fallen leaves scattered along the edges. The scene appears slightly blurred, emphasizing the damp, quiet, and mysterious atmosphere.

Williamson Power Station, Lancaster, 2025

Large, abandoned red-brick industrial building with tall cylindrical smokestack, surrounded by fences and overgrown grass. The sky is partly cloudy with golden sunlight breaking through. Foreground shows a cracked, empty road and construction signs near the fence.

Now derelict Williamson Power Station, Lancaster. Once used to supply power to the city’s linoleum factory, it has more recently been used for illegally storing compacted waste, which set alight in December 2023. Following the days-long fire and the operation to extinguish it, it now stands mostly empty, fire-damaged but no less immense.

More information and pictures available on the Lancaster Civic Vision website, for those interested.
