‘One Man’s Treasure’ Demolition and building sites were prime playgrounds as a kid, making dens and finding treasure amongst the so-called trash. #Nostalgia#UrbanArt#Urbex@GrimArtGroup
#Grim highlights from across the year #TheGrimList2021🏅
Outstanding contributions from Darren this year, do check out his account if you’re new to his work! Struggled to choose just one, but finally settled on this zesty smasher 😍
The Lost Sock by @dbeattie22
‘Winter Gardens’ a grade II listed building in #GreatYarmouth. Closed in 2008, it’s been named by the Victorian Society as one of the UK's 10 most endangered buildings. In July 2021 it received a £10 million NL Heritage Fund grant to support its restoration.
‘Old Red Eyes’ Number 4 Princelet Street – a distressed, but beautiful red Georgian house with an interesting history of almost 300 years. Little has changed to the property within that time, a home to both wealthy and poorer tenants. #Spitalfields#LondonHistory@GrimArtGroup
Madeira Terrace, a Grade II listed Victorian stretch of seafront arches #Brighton, one of the longest cast-iron structures in the world. Today, in need of conservation, it’s in a state of almost disrepair and at risk of collapse @BrightonHoveCC@GrimArtGroup#SaveMadeiraTerraces
‘E1 for the Road’ The Truman chimney, the iconic East London landmark that towers over #BrickLane In its heyday, the brewery was considered the largest in the world but now the complex is a popular cultural centre. @GrimArtGroup#Spitalfieds#UrbanArt
‘Springs Eternal.’ Burtons factory #Ipswich, the former confectionary firm’s warehouse, has lain empty for more than 20 years. Once a thriving part of the port, regeneration is now underway for an exciting project as an arts and media hub @GeckoTheatre@GrimArtGroup
Bringing back some former glory to ‘The Empire,’ (1911) which was a cinema until the late 60’s when it switched to bingo and then a nightclub. Since its closure in 2009., it had been left empty and full of pigeon mess but opened once again this year #Renaissance#GreatYarmouth
