We see a disused stadium in <b>the Czech Republic</b>, a train wreck in the <b>North Carolina mountains</b>, factories in <b>Hungary</b>, a <b>Welsh</b> mental asylum and warehouses in <b>Belgium</b>, all depicted beautifully and sensitively. <br><br><b>More immersive than a museum</b> and <b>more human that a lecture</b>, abandoned photography has given the world an exciting way to look at our history and the places we have long neglected.<br><br>Compiled and curated by photographer and former urban explorer, Mathew Growcoot.</p>
