Is that enough warning signs for you? Lancaster, 2026

A dimly lit alley at night features an old stone building with boarded-up windows and a blue metal roller shutter. A bright light illuminates part of the building on the right, whilst overgrown plants and uneven cobblestone ground add to the abandoned atmosphere.

Lucky Star Chinese takeaway, sadly only 3.1 stars on Google.

George’s Diner, Docklands, London, 2025

A boarded-up, abandoned brick building with a large sign reading GEORGE'S DINER. The windows and doors are covered with timber, graffiti is visible on the walls, and overgrown weeds dominate the foreground. The sky is overcast.

The kind of photo-through-fence that makes my partner stand a few metres away looking disinterested, lest passersby think he’s involved.

Back on my bullshit (Williamson Power Station, part IV), Lancaster, 2025

The winter sun shining through the windows 😮‍💨

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.

Mandarin fully licensed restaurant, Huddersfield, 2025

A closed restaurant with a sign reading Mandarin Restaurant, Fully Licensed, Parties Catered For above a glass door. Posters are on the door, and Chinese characters are visible on the window. A beauty salon and an entrance to Buxton House are nearby.

This is not helping my craving for noodles.
