Love the B&W! Great shots, 7&8 are my favourites!
Kept meaning to go climbing at Brean Down but never quite made it!

these are great This seems to be a very successful type of photography for you . You find these interesting Sites - and then take wonderful shots that leave us all wondering about them , you show us textures and odd little snippets of life that has been abandoned .
Please keep giving us shots like these

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Again - nice shots
I like the fact that you include other interesting elemnts Andrew, such as the other building/ footings to the right in picture 1 and the hole in the wall/ window towards the right and just above centre
Each shot is interesting to me such as the raised area to the right lower portion of shot two - makes me wonder what it is - also in shot 5 there is obvious decay yet the shail in front of the door seems to have been fairly well weeded
Perhaps you should start taking tours around your well found locations

Fascinating set, Andrew.
Any chance of seeing the last three in colour?
Roger.

Thanks everyone, glad you didn't find them too gloomy.

It was first built by the Victorians then added to and adapted during the Second World War to protect air and sea approaches to Britol and the South Wales ports. It's quite interesting trying to decipher the remains.
The pictures are a bit sombre, I'm afraid. Not much Christmas cheer, but at least there's no snow! All with K10 and Kenlock 28mm.
