Brewery, Stockport, 2025

The imposing Robinsons Brewery, towering over Stockport’s Lower Hillgate, complete with the modern addition of an exposed staircase – my beloved. 2025.

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.

Williamson Power Station, Lancaster, 2025

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.
