first time out this year and its to a new location "Micklem Brickworks" an old disused site that still has a few buildings but with a strong smell of gas coming from an old gas stand pipe about 100 yards from where I was spinning the wire wool if the wind changed they might not be there for much longer!!!
A long awaited photting meet-up with www.flickr.com/photos/jimthejoker/ took us to the East Midlands on the first day of August - a full and productive day ensued in a totally new area for me. Thanks very much Jim for a great day out, for researching the workings and showing me some new locations....oh and doing the driving!

The Bell-Edison Telephone Building at 17-19 Newhall St, Birmingham was completed in 1896 to the design of architect Frederick Martin of the firm Martin & Chamberlain. Whilst fairly plain at ground level, the upper storeys feature a rich variety of terracotta ornamentation.
I accidentally left the camera running for this shot... 220 secs, ISO 1600, not sure what F-stop. Thought I would post it for interest.
The biggest structure still standing at the old Staples brick company in Malden, N.Y. Which isn’t saying much ... it’s not terribly big, and it’s barely standing. I did not set foot anywhere inside here, so bad was the decay.
It might have been an interesting place to explore at one time. We found the remains of train tracks leading up to the clay pit, bits of machinery, and traces of several other structures. But mostly everything is gone.
