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

  Last week Mr Lester and I visited an abandoned Victorian youth correctional facility, called Eastmoor Reformatory, nestled away in the back of Adel.  It’s a massive complex dating back to the 1880′s, for naughty workhouse kids who’d turned to a life of crime.  We only saw a bit of the massive grounds, housing a…

Phillip Allen - Reminds me of the playgrounds of my child hood; thanks for the journey back! It’s all cleared up too quickly where I live now. I’d love to see a wedding party shoot blended in with this ;~)

ac - cool place. Love these old abandoned houses. Have you seen this? http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ some of the pictures are rubbish but some are good. really weird with the town being left in a hurry.

Tim Driver - Really love these dereliction pictures – theres nothing like this around my way anymore but like was said before brings back memories – thanks for sharing

Gary Mather - Great place, your pics inspired me to go and check it out. Check out the pics on the above website Flickr and let us know what you think.

Barnaby Aldrick - Excellent work amigo! Your pictures are great. Tasty post processing! It’s a fun place eh? B

Gary Mather - Thanks for the kind comments, it was a real buzz and has given me a taste for more!!!

Ady - Loved visiting your site. Great pictures, really interesting. Came across your site whilst I was looking for forgotten or abandoned buildings in leeds.
The Ritz cinema in the Merrion Centre is really interesting too but a bit more difficult (impossible) to get into. some good pictures can be found on http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/content/articles/2006/08/10/local_history_odeon_merrion_feature.shtml
my search continues…

Barnaby Aldrick - Cheers for that heads up about the Ritzy Odeon! Interesting little read. Word is there’s a similarly abandoned cinema in Bradford.

Phillip Allen - My word Yorkshire is beautiful! The opening image is stunning, as is the whole set. You’ve captured every aspect of the day beautifully and the way you’ve worked with the light in the church is exquisite. Fantastic stuff! :~)

Emma - That first picture is epic – if it were my wedding, I’d want a huge print of this.
Love the humour and the walking boots too – looks like a fun couple.

Barnaby Aldrick - Cheers Em & Mr Philip! Glad you both like. That opener would indeed make a fab giant canvas! x

[b]school / Randall Network Blackpool Get-together pix

Who’s that gimp on a beach trying to look like a model?? Let me explain… I’m part of a fantastic and supportive photographic network called the Randall Network, set up by the clued-up Stewart Randall.  He and many of the other togs in this network are also members of the giving photographer & branding guru…

Hayley Oats - Barnaby, great to meet you, Rob and Phil, Love the shots of Blackpool, and you tell the story of the meet up so accurately! ;o)

Photography meetup in Blackpool | Lawson Photography - [...] 3B Media doing their own thing on the beach (we didn’t want to intrude).  They are Barber, Booker, and Barnaby (whose just done his own, much better, post on the meetup here: http://www.barnabyaldrick.com/blog/entry1421) [...]

Peter Lawson - Awesome shots on the beach there! Great to meet up with the three Bs and hopefully we’ll do it all again soon. Just without any visits to Che-Bar! I’m scarred for life.

Chris MacKenzie - Barnaby it was great fun spending the day with you – though it faded into a bit of a haze post chinese. Think someone put something in the prawn crackers. I had amazing fun on the beach, it was fantastic to meet everyone from the 3b media team.

Barnaby Aldrick - Cheers for all the lovely comments peeps. [b]lackpool was ace & it was wicked indeed to put names to faces.

Rebecca Honeywell - Loving the pics, and had a great time. And what’s wrong with VK, the cherry once was rather tasty ;-)

James Pearson - It was really great to meet you! Love the shots you, Rob and Phil took – amazing work – and I really enjoyed your write-up too. Looking forward to the next one and seeing you again.

Stewart Randall - Cracking photos and thanks for the off camera flash tuition. Can’t wait to play around a little more over the winter.

Cheap wine was a winner with many of the team but I was a fan of the alcoholic ginger beer! Looking forward to the next get together at the SWPP convention.

Barnaby Aldrick - Cheers Stu – I need to get me a set of those Quadra’s and have a play myself to really figure them out at some upcoming winter weddings. Not 100% sure I can attent the SWPP, but am looking forward to the next Randalisation!

AC - Lovely! This blog wasn’t linked to your page the last time i checked. Love the way your ears glow in the presentation picture :D

I’m bloging aswell but since it’s in the widely spoken language of Swedish I’ll keep it to myself.

Though I fancy your wedding pictures it’s great to see some other work aswell!

Take care!

Lacy Dagerath - WHEW! That LAST shot before the slideshow..and the LAST shot in the slidshow are AAAhhhh-MA–ZING! LOOOVE LOVE LOVE them! I would buy those on canvas! Seriously! (the 2nd shot in the slideshow of the guy squatting lit by one light source with the sky peaking through in the back… awesome!) You are fantastic! :D

Barnaby Aldrick - Hey Lacy – glad you like the pix. I’m sure a print could be arranged. Drop me an email to info@barnabyaldrick.com to discuss!
