Run down.

This is a common sight in a lot of parts in Leeds. Really run down buildings and businesses. I guess things will stay like this for some time with the current climate too, which is a shame. Some of the buildings in Leeds that are going to ruin are amazing!

Tons of character but sad.

I love old, run-down buildings like this visually, but I never like to see a lot of this in a town.

[Kerry Bergman]

Your capture of it makes a picture with nice composition and with emotion.

[Judith Greenwood]

Very lovely shot - like an old painting - I suspect the general environs weren't too picturesque though!

[Cindy Bryant]

This is like home from home lol...lots of east london buildings have this worn out look

[Steve Harvey]

nice!

[Shannon Pitton]

Are people still doing business in this shop? I would be afraid to enter. Great capture.

[Kim Ables]

great rustic shot!

[FaerieMoon]

That is a shame--I'll bet there's so much history packed around there. Would make for an interesting photography walk

[Constance Brinkley]

Sad to see the buildings so run down. So much history... Nice capture.

Nice gritty shot Freida. The picture speaks for itself.

Is that a bit of 'colour popping' in the letterbox ?

[cglist]

Wonderful textures here!

[Justin K.]

Full of character :)

Love this type of shot! Great theme entry!

[FunnyFace]

@phil_howcroft sorry for late reply! No, no colour popping if you mean manipulation - shot is as it is. There's a block of wood behind the letterbox- to stop anyone shoving stuff through I guess?

[Brad Johnson]

I find it odd how decay makes for such interesting photos. Great shot.
