  • Faded grandeur of Casa Miralinda, a mansion house now abandoned and crumbling, on 17th July 2016, in the spa resort of Luso, Portugal. Across the country, and even at important tourist landmarks, buildings sit vacant and often collapsing. Sometimes it is because a previous generation have passed away to leave properties in the hands of arguing families. Beautiful buildings are therefore left to collapse in town centre. In the 11th century, Luso was a sleepy village linked to a monastery in the hills near Coimbra but it became a lively spa resort in the 1700s as its hot water springs became a focus for tourism.

  • A exterior of the now ruined Shildon Engine House, on 29th September 2017, in Blanchland, Northumberland, England. Built around 1805 to house a Cornish pumping engine which kept the network of lead mines operating underneath from flooding. The North Pennines is known for its deposits of lead ore etc., a large part of the areas economy. In the 1840s an enormous steam engine was installed in an attempt to keep the mines dry enough to work. Following decommissioning, the engine house was converted to a series of flats for mining families. It was finally abandoned around 100 years ago and has been derelict ever since. The Engine House is a dramatic reminder of a once thriving lead mining community of 170 people. The population declined after the mid-1800s when cheaper lead began to be imported from abroad, and young Shildon families emigrated to the goldmining areas of Australia and America.
