Commercial building, Halifax, 2024

Possibly an ex-department store?

A three-story stone building with round and rectangular windows stands behind parked vehicles, including a white van, a red car, a small silver car, and another white van. Overcast sky and leafy trees partially obscure the building’s lower level.

Spiral staircase at Sovereign House, Anglia Square, Norwich, 2024

A modernist building with angular lines and a glass cylindrical stairwell rises above street level, catching sunlight. Below, shopfronts including Quality Discounts are visible. The sky is clear and blue, with a few wispy clouds overhead.

Definitely want to see more of this city, will have to come back in 2025 (and hopefully at a more reasonable temperature, and hopefully before they demolish this beauty!).

This post full of photos of Sovereign House from an urbex standpoint is well worth taking a look at, too.

The A58 in Halifax, 2024

A person with a backpack walks on a wet, empty pavement beneath a large concrete flyover. The overpass curves overhead, supported by tall pillars. In the background are trees, an old brick building, and tall apartment blocks under a cloudy sky.

Three layered bridges cross each other above a paved area. The lowest bridge is ornate and red, while the two above are plain concrete with large pillars. Cloudy sky, sparse trees, and several people walking below add to the urban scene.
