Throwback to the same staircase from 2024 – en route to a café, I incidentally approached Barrier Point from the other side, and there it was!

This way to the car park, Huddersfield, 2025

A faded sign reading “To Car Park” hangs above a narrow, worn staircase with yellow-striped steps. The stairs ascend between old brick and concrete walls. A metal handrail lines the right side, next to a red and white striped pole on the pavement.

Chaddesley House, Burnley, 2025

An exterior metal staircase with rusty railings is attached to a brick building. A broken window is visible on the left. A blue car is parked in front, and another tan brick building stands in the background under a cloudy sky.

The image shows a dilapidated entrance to an old building. The doors are covered with frosted glass and graffiti, the paint on the canopy is peeling, and warning signs are visible. The walkway leading to the doors is bordered by black railings.

A rooftop area with pyramid-shaped skylights, some litter, and dirt. To the right is a brown and beige building with many windows, some open. In the background, there are older stone buildings, a street with people, and flower planters on a railing.

A large, three-storey brick building with many broken windows and peeling paint. Debris and triangular skylights cover the flat roof below. The sky is overcast, and the building appears abandoned and in disrepair.
