I'm a bit late to this party, its been very well covered by photographers and urban explorers so getting something original was always going to be a nightmare. Place is trashed, a lot of asbestos lying about so I'd make sure you know what asbestos looks like and avoid the place on windy days. Met a couple of guys exploring like me was good to have a bit of company for a change.
Photos taken during our recent Baltic Cruise (June 11-27). These are from around St. Petersburg, Russia.
Alexander Nevsky Monastery.
The Alexander Nevsky Monastery complex is home to some of the oldest buildings in the city, as well as to cemeteries which contain the graves of some of the giants of Russian culture, including Tchaikovsky, Dostoevsky, and Glinka. The monastery was founded in July 1710 - seven years after the foundation of Petersburg - by Peter the Great near to the spot where contemporary Swedish maps showed the Swedish fort Landskrona had stood. (This was during the Northern War between Russian and Sweden, so it was a symbolically important location - especially as it had been sacked in 1301 by an army from Novgorod under Prince Andrei, son of legendary Russian leader Alexander Nevsky, during a previous war!) In 1712, the first church was built, in wood, on the site of the future monastery, and consecrated in Peter's presence on March 25, 1713. The monastery began working shortly afterward. In 1724, a new church, designed by Italian architect Domenico Trezzini, was consecrated. The new church was named for Alexander Nevsky - considered a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church - whose remains were brought to the church from the ancient city of Vladimir, in a journey that took several months. The day the remains were moved into the new church was celebrated each year as a holiday.
By the beginning of the 20th century the territory of themonastery complex was home to an impressive 16 churches. Today, only five survive: the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the
Church of the Annunciation, the Church of St. Lazarus, the Church of St. Nicholas, and the Church of the Holy Mother of God, the Joy of All Those who Mourn, which is over the
monastery gates. Like many centers of Orthodoxy the Monastery suffered at the hands of the Revolution. Happily, though, much has survived, and restoration work has been ongoing in recent years. In January 1918, the Bolsheviks attempted to seize the
monastery and its valuables, but were driven off by determined church-goers, summoned by the ringing of the monastery's bells. However, the monastery was closed shortly afterward, and robbed and looted of its valuables.
A window of the apostle, St Matthias, who was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot. The axe is a symbol of his martyrdom. The window in St Mary & St John's church in Cowley is by Sir Ninian Comper.
St. Paul's Cathedral, situated close to the harbour front in Valletta, Malta, is an Anglican cathedral in what is mainly a Roman Catholic area. It was founded by Queen Adelaide of England, who was the widow of king William IV and Queen Victoria's aunt. Queen Adelaide laid the foundation stone in 1839, and the building was completed in 1844.
The cathedral is located on the site of the Auberge d'Allegmagne, which was the base of the German Knights Hospitaller, an ancient order of Crusader knights.

St Peters Mortuary lies on the outskirts of Chertsey's St Peters Hospital. The hospital is still open and well mantained but this small building tuked away in the woods appears to have been left to fend for itself.
St George's in Whitchurch is the rather humble Victorian Roman Catholic church where my parents were married in 1958, and where I'd often attended mass as a child.
The interior is a simple but attractive space, with most of the light coming from a clerestorey that seems to be a later insertion (it must have been pretty dark before with only east and west windows!) and still very much the space I recall from childhood. The main feature I wanted to revisit was the east window, three 1950s lancets, which I used to believe to be an unrecognised late work by the great Evie Hone as my Mum even recalled them being by 'an Irish lady'; they are actually by her pupil Patrick Pollen, and possibly a commission originally given to Hone but carried out by her student instead. They are lovely, rich pieces nonetheless that I've always admired (though sadly Mary is now in need of a new right hand).
The door was locked when I arrived alas, and I didn't initially think it worth phoning as I had no idea if the priest even lived locally, but having phoned my parents to surprise them where I was my Mum recalled that the priest lived just over the road in their day, so I decided to phone him and lo and behold, he emerged from that exact spot and kindly opened up for me.

Chandelier of The Red Drawing Room - Yusupov Palace. This lemon-yellow palace on the Moika Canal was the main residence of Russia's most ancient noble family (tracing their ancestry back to 10th century Khans). At the start of the 20th century the Yusupovs were also the wealthiest noble family of Imperial Russia owning many palaces, and estates all over the country. Their art collection contained paintings and objects by the likes of Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Robert and Fabergé and Russian contemporaries like Serov, while their musical instrument collection contained items made by the great Stradivari. Much of it is now on display or sits in the vaults of St Petersburg's Hermitage. Felix Yusupov, the last heir, was famous for his bon vivant lifestyle and his friendship with Nicholas II's cousin Dimitri Pavlovich is rumoured to have been quite intimate. Together they appear to have contrived the murder of the dark genius Rasputin, who had such a nefarious influence on the Czarina. Felix married Nicholas II's niece Irina in 1914. The Mausoleum at the Arkhangelskoe Estate near Moscow was intended as a resting place for the family, but fate dictated otherwise. The Yusupovs managed to flee Russia after the revolution but not after Felix, who was exiled to his Crimean estates for the involvement in Rasputin's murder, managed to return to St Petersburg. Together with loyal servants he hid priceless jewellery in the palace. He also managed to take the two Rembrandts and other treasures to the Crimea. From there the family sailed to France, where they lived a modest life. Felix's granddaughter Xenia Yusupov-Sheremetieva-Sfiris was recently granted Russian citizenship by the president of the Russian Federation.

Just off of Cannes, France. A beautiful area of the world.
Detail of the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban (St Albans Cathedral, formerly St Albans Abbey; Grade I listed).
On 3 November 2013, a friend who is training to become a Green Badged tour guide of St Albans offered a guided tour of St Albans to Hertfordshire GOC as part of his training. The tour covered the market area, Romeland and the perimeter of the abbey. I also went inside the abbey after the tour. I don't remember most of the details we were given of the history. Also, I'm only uploading my best photos rather than the entire tour. Please check out the other photos from the walk here, or to see my collections, go here: www.flickr.com/photos/anemoneprojectors/collections/.

"O God, who called Saint Bruno to serve you in solitude, grant, through his intercession, that amid the changes of this world we may constantly look to you alone. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen."
– Collect for the memorial of St Bruno (6 October).
This statue of the saint, founder of the Carthusians, is one of the founding saints that surround the basilica of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
St Lukes church Abercarn.
At first look it appears to be an old building but when you look closer you'll see the main structure, including the exposed arches and roof, is made from concrete with traditional stone work for the walls.

Fromm the Bishop West chantry chapel at Ely cathedral. St Jerome (ca. 347 – 420) is best known as the translator of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin. He also was a Christian apologist. Jerome's edition, the Vulgate, is still an important biblical text of the Roman Catholic Church. In the artistic tradition of the Roman Catholic Church it has been usual to represent him, the patron of Scriptural studies, as a cardinal.
From the mosaic floor of Worcester College's chapel c.1791.
St Ambrose was believed to have composed the 'Te Deum laudamus', an early Christian hymn of praise, hence he is shown here in the act of writing it.
