Urban Exploration // Derelict laundry machinery factory [by Barnaby Aldrick]
I do like to do a spot of what’s called ‘Urban Exploring‘. Basically, it’s photographing in derelict spaces. I like to go with my pals James & Aiden, and we recently decided we’ve all been a bit busy working of late and we decided we needed an ‘Urbex’ break The policy is basically not to […]

Adel Ghost Town // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick
