I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in cambridge. I quickly bored of shooting the architecture so I moved on to the local populance.

Street photography is all about candid portraiture in natural settings. I have attached the following links.

Ongar War Memorial Medical Centre Crane Urbex

“The site was unlocked and the crane access was a piece of cake” or so Spongebob told me. He has asked me to blog these shots taken last august in Ongar. The crane provided a nice stable platform to capture the amazing dullness of Ongar with its lack of any civilised life with the exception of a few allegedly posh people leaving a pub and getting to their BMW cars whilst over the limit.

Total Essex have an article on the building HERE

Spongebob’s Photos are below. Hope you enjoy.

Right lets make one thing clear right now. It was not me! I am publishing this on behlf of spongebob Urbex as he has no blog and doesnt have any access to the internet. Spongebob and I go a long way back and he has requested that any fan/hate mail be deleted.

The site is on Parkway Chelmsford and the crane was as good as unlocked with a P.I.R. activated light that shon for about 20 seconds.

Here is the council’s bit.

Here is Sponge Bob’s bit.

The photography……

Tha crane has been removed now!

Kings Reach Tower Urbex.

What an evening this was of solo sploring just me and me and the legendary kings reach tower London SE1. Not one to trust either strange men or strange lifts I opted to walk the 31 floors to the roof. I did pop into a few of the floors to see what was what. At around the 17th floor I heard the voices of a feeople larking around. With that I quickly made my way north to the roof. Once there I barricaded myself on the roof and stripped off! I kid ye not.

For more urban exploring adventures.

Walthamstow stadium Urbex 2011

admin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:19:54 +0000

If all you think about when you hear the word walthamstow is the abbeydale psychiatric unit, East 17 and eastenders then you really need to explore the abandoned and derelict dog racing stadium.

The place is a shit hole. All the rooms are caked in dog doo doo apart from the one where the security guard languishes. We never saw him but could hear him walking around. There is an onsite alsatian which is free roaming. This is contrary to the guard dogs act 1975 which quite clearly states that all guard dogs must be under the control of a handler. Lets hope that a child does not get in there and get mauled to death.

If anyone at the SIA reads this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get over there and do something about this before someone gets hurt.

Marconi factory Urbex Chelmsford New Street

admin — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:50:50 +0000

Well I finally got Nelly Urbex and his good buddy Skeleton key Urbex to shoot over to see me in sunny chelmsford. We spent a whole 5 minutes wandering around Runwell before we were nabbed by a very amiable security guard who asked us to kindly leave. I must say that I was more taken a back by how cool he was despite the fact he was riding round on a fold up bike. Unlike the last arsehole who was really a pretty pittyful waste of space. A real wanna be cop.

Anyways we headed over to the factory and clocked in for our shift. Sadly the local police also booked us in for some overtime. We were released from SWF police station at 0130 am and driven back to the car. Cheers boys and thanks for the chicken madras. I am humbled by your kindness. remember Urbexers Do not annoy them and they will not shake you down any harder than needed.

Enjoy the photos.
