Whilst on our jollies around East Yorkshire, we made a stop for a bit of architectural photography on the way to York.
A couple of months back, during our run out to Scarborough, we chanced passing this place. I (Ben) have a bit of a thing for industrial architecture, and I regretted at the time not stopping to get some pics.
According to old maps, this building was a garage and vehicle repair facility. Given its location out on the raggedy edge of Stamford Bridge it must have mainly served farmers and maybe hauliers.
Quite a lot of interesting details on the building.
Not sure how long its been abandoned, but apart from graffiti and smashed windows, it's not in too bad a condition. It does have asbestos warnings on it mind you.
We're looking for a new house at the moment, but we're not really in the Grand Designs classes. That said, this place would make an awesome, unusual house.
No doubt some property developer will get it, flatten it, and put three hundred houses on the site.
It caught my eye because it looked a bit like an old railway building, and I thought I'd document it in enough detail that I could maybe make a model of it at some point.
Sticking the phone through the window for a quick look inside.
Then it was back in the car, and onto York.
