Hi,

Thanks for reading and feedback is always welcome. Like you I think that people should be fair with their use of other people’s work which is why all of the photos you’ll find on Sick Britain are licensed under Creative Commons so anyone is welcome to re-use and re-publish them as long as they give due credit and do not use the images to make money.

Cheers, SB.

they arent bad these sites
just a word of warning though if you have any photos of old buildings on any site on the web they will use them on uk urban explorers and there is nothing you can do about this and its no use arguing with them because the end result is they will ban you from the site permenately this happened to someone i know because he argued with them about using his photos but because its a link you cant do anything about it

Great article! I’ve been interested in abandoned buildings for a very long time!
I have since started to do my dissertation on The Poor Laws of Lunacy, and am extremely desperate to get to some asylums. Is there anywhere i can get a list of buildings that are still standing as i know a lot are being demolished recently, and also whether or not anyone from around the London area would be interested in going to some asylums. Showing a newbie around. x

i am keen to contact other UE as I’ve been interested in the subject for years; anyone who lives in the Black Country and has a similiar interest to me, i would love to hear from them. I’m also keen to follow any forums and blogs and email like-minded people with a passion for abandoned and derelict places. Thanx hairy calf

Great stuff, my own work can be viewed at http://www.john-godwin.co.uk/urbex

I really hope this artform takes off soon, it’s got unlimited scope and is a breath of fresh air for photographers. I’m addicted.

i cannot understand why councils/goverment etc dont give you full access to these places so you can photograph and document them,so that future generations will no how lovely buildings used to be.i love all you photos and reading the history that goes with them.

hi all am also new to urban ex only done 4 all of which were great fun but am also aware of some people who like to do it for the publicity side of it which is totaly wrong ,in my opinion,and there sre other who do remove stuff from sites also very wrong . this could lead to a criminal charge of entering with intent to steal as opose to just tresspass as im inscotland then we dont have tresspass law (thank god ) but themain point is jus tto enjoy n be safe would always recommend going with sumone just incase. the nature of sum of the sites r pretty hazzardous n if u get hurt then it good to have back up
