Huge thanks to Chris' extensive photographic knowledge and eagerness to share

Thanks John.

Besides the editing, it makes a welcome, relaxing pastime.

Top pics there Chris & Dazza. But you are both bonkers, it was freezing that night.

Fancy doing this too but I'll wait for warmer weather I think.

I would be, I think asylums are probably best during daylight hours though.

I had thought about the old Access building on the seafront, partly demolished and would be a good subject for photography at the moment ......... Before they finally knock it down for good.

This Fort in Surrey looks interesting Dazza, and from the posters description, the owner seems happy for people to photograph the place.

Not sure what sort of perspective you want from derelict buildings, but there's an old factory in Stanford Le Hope that may be suitable. It's the old Fyson's factory at the bottom of Wharf Road. Been disused for years now and very run down. It's also in view of the sea wall.

In Belhus park, there's an ancient chimney stack which is surrounded by trees, at this time of year, may also be a good subject. Also the woodland between South Ockendon and Belhus has old wells and old foundations. My Nan used to live in Erith Drive, my brother and I spent a lot of time there playing in the woodlands when we were kids. I'm no expert but I do think there are quite a lot of hidden gems there.

Always finds an angle

There are parts of St Johns Hospital in Chelmsford now that are all closed up due for redevelopment. Some of the buildings as you go in the 1st Entrance on Wood Street are pretty over grown already.
