A tiny, abandoned distribution substation found under an unsuspecting manhole in London.

Looking at the switches I was curious where they were for and realised that the chapel was one that I used to look at from my desk when I worked in the offices behind in the 90s. I love this photo, not just because of the association but because it’s a fascinating find.

Cold war hangar...

I saw the strange things in the photo which instantly brought to mind images of Flash Gordon

What I think maybe the remains of the old sewage works for RAF Ketteringham hall. The hall and adjoining area were the HQ for the American eighth air force. It is situated quite away from the main hall at the far end of the lake. I only stumbled upon it as was taking shots of insects and bugs and wandered into an off limits area. It's so overgrown but could just make out some brickwork what is circular. Nearby is a small building in world war two style buildings. Lot of rubble laying around as well. It could be just a treatment plant for the hall and no longer used. As I was shooting bugs I had no lenses with me except a macro one. So all phone ones.

The little hut which had windows like you see in many world war two airfield buildings.

The two sections of the sewage tank I
could see.

A little way from the tank I noticed this really old bridge. It belonged to the old hall when this area was clear. Sadly the thing as just been left with trees growing in it. It even had four pillars with plinths on top.

Very nice, amazing to yet again see nature claiming back the land and how destructive it truly can be.

And finally this little fella relaxing in the sun.
