This was taken at St Georges Hospital, in Stafford. It's been abandoned for 11 years. I'd been dumped 2 days before, it was a beautifully sunny day with two good mates, doing something I love, and this shot was one that summed up the day for me, exploring the hospital, and trying to get the bad thoughts out of my mind.


This is at Pyestock, The abandoned Gas Turbine establishment that developed our jet engines.
What is poignant to me is that a nation once proud of it's engineering is destroying something that is a significant part of our history, to put a Tesco depot there. This shot sums up the day, 7am in November, freezing cold, mist down.
