Seen Better Days

I had to go to Hackney today to drop some work off at our printers, as the guy I usually deal with was at lunch and wouldn't be back for another 10 minutes, I decided to wander about for a while.

I spotted this huge derelict building as I took a walk down this dodgy little side road.. Empty apart from a couple of shady geezers standing about watching my every move. Not great during the day, definitely not the place to be after sunset...

I couldn't get any closer so took this photo from inside a black cab breakers yard... Lots of great photo opportunities there as well... Not sure if it's just me, but I find these old ramshackled buildings really fascinating...

I believe Hackney is one of the host Olympic boroughs!!! Bet you won't see this view in 2012!!!!!!

Something funny happened with the sky around the plants on the roof... filter needed maybe?!?!?
nice shot i just wantto go and explore !! minus the shady characters !!

and i dont think this is going to be a typical olympic cuta way!!

Yeah, these buildings are just crying out for some exploration...in broad daylight...with armed bodyguards. Love it!

Look at the attention to detail that used to be designed into these old buildings! And I love what ends up being "used brick" along its side to the right...

That's a great building, you just wonder why it's not still in use?
