Reading Time: 2 minutesNot content with this being a random effect from poor light seals (or indeed poor construction) it is now possible, courtesy of Revlog to purchase film that is pre exposed to give these (and other) effects. What a time to be alive. I am being

Back of The Highburys

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn my explorations of the industrial remnants of Meanwood, It has been interesting to look right outside my door – the path that runs at the bottom of the Highburys also has some nice old red-brick buildings by The Beck. I also captured these interesting 

Dereliction in Meanwood

Dereliction in Meanwood

Reading Time: 2 minutesContinuing to explore a little more, I have wandered down Meanwood Road this time, onto the bottom end of Woodhouse Ridge and the bottom of Sugarwell Hill. I found this old bomb shelter on the ridge – suprisingly relatively safe to enter (i.e not full
