A Complete Photo Guide to Newcastle Including Amazing Abandoned Places

By Urbanist in Pictures, Travel on Mar 18, 2009 at 4:15 pm

ILuvNUFC is prolific blogger on all kinds of odd and interesting things but his crown jewel is his photography site in which he has seemingly documented every last corner of Newcastle Upon Tyne – quite possibly the most any one person has photographed any one place on the web.

Some of his most compelling images are of deserted buildings in the area like St. Mary’s Asylum and the Cherry Knowle Hospital, which he has also catalogued extensively. Best of all, he includes a heckuvalot of juicy historical facts along with the images.

Warning!!!!! I viewed this link and had a nice little old-school trojan infected my computer – it started opening copies of this site as fast as I could close them.

This was such a nice site of photos, I sure hope the infection it wasn’t intended by the site’s owner.

Hm, I didn’t find the trojan over at ILuvNUFC’s website. He’s a long time blogger, and I doubt he has it.

As I’m about to move to Newcastle, I /love/ this site! Sometimes it’s as if you read my mind for your links! Thanks for sharing this with the world!

Those empty meat hooks in the asylum pics gave me some heebies and jeebies.
