...I'm fascinated by old derelict buildings and trying to imagine what their story is..what they looked like when they were lived in...

I think it's so sad also that family houses go to rack and ruin as councils find it hard to fund their upkeep.

What feelings do these buildings evoke for you ammi?

[Niamh.]

The Good Shepards Convent(Magdalene Laundry) in Cork had a very unpleasant history It was set fire to recently

http://i.imgur.com/i1umh.jpg

[Ammi]

..is that where the Magdelene Sisters were Niamh...?..

[Niamh.]

There were a few Magdalene Laundries, I *think* the one in the film was in Dublin but there's similar stories in this one too

[Ammi]

...evil nuns

[Niamh.]

mmmm Indeed

[Kizzy]

I feel really angry when I see buildings like this...
especially when you think of the work and the time that went into them.
I can appreciate the dark pasts of the magdalene laundry, however could it not be turned into something to benefit young mothers in some way?

...have you seen the beautiful old chateau ruins in France..?..it's very sad but no one has the money to do anything with them...

[Kizzy]

Give them away....
Before they become so dilapidated, to charities?....
In this country at least, any building uninhabitable that could be brought back into use should be?....
As we are at saturation point population wise?

I love seeing photographs and videos of old buildings like these :love:

Have you checked out the urban exploration threads Ammi? theres a link to an entire forum about it and they have tons of pics, some are really interesting and some are also a bit sad like the old hospitals and asylums etc.

[Ammi]

..oh, no I'll check that out Josy, thank you...I find them sad and beautiful at the same time...and I always wonder what the building's story is....

..I found some German ones and the buildings themselves were lovely...but, by the internal photos, I think they may have been used for torture or something...they looked like previous private houses as well...I can't imagine how it would feel if somewhere you had lived, was then used for something like that...

..don't go inside if it isn't safe though will you...

[Jarrod]

..don't go inside if it isn't safe though will you...

I won't. You can't get in any more anyway, they've put security fencing up.

Valley of Mills (Vallone dei Mulini), Sorrento, Italy: This incredible valley near the coastal town of Amalfi was once at the heart of the Campania region’s thriving paper industry from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Deserted during the 1800s, this striking industrial ruin is one of a network mills that still stand in the valley, capturing the imagination of photographers and urban explorers alike

Chateau de Noisy, Belgium: Originally named Chateau Miranda, this abandoned mansion was reportedly designed in 1866 by an English architect and resembles the setting of a gothic horror film. Once the grand residence of an affluent family, Chateau de Noisy was allegedly occupied by the Nazis during World War Two before becoming an orphanage. The castle has been abandoned since 1991 with little apparent will to restore it

St. Agnes Catholic Church, Detroit: Completed in 1924, this grand church was built to replace a temporary structure that had served St. Agnes Parish in Detroit since about 1914. St. Agnes became a Martyrs of Uganda parish after 1989, and finally closed due to financial difficulties in 2006. According to Detroiturbex, the organ pipes, chandaliers, altar and stained glass windows were still extant in 2007. But they had gone by 2009, and the former Catholic church’s condition has deteriorated heavily due to water damage

Abandoned Stock Exchange, Luxembourg: Urban explorers haven’t shared much information about this spectacular building, and it’s no surprise that those in the urbex community want to protect it against vandals and other unwanted visitors. Reportedly the old Stock Exchange building in Luxembourg, the wonderful stonework, ornate glass and steel roof, and eerie emptiness make this abandoned building a Holy Grail of urban exploration

Abandoned Skyscrapers in Bangkok: When Thailand’s housing market collapsed as a result of the financial crisis, construction work ceased on these skyscrapers, which have been abandoned ever since. Unlike other structures that were occupied for generations before falling into disuse, these giant abandonments loom above the Bangkok skyline like ghostly concrete skeletons. Perhaps one day they’ll be completed, like the notorious Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea
