I took some photos a while back on an adventure to Aldershot because I enjoy seeing dead malls and places that are going abandoned.

This is the shopping center. Unfortunately it was blocked off but through the gate I got a really great photo of the eerie liminal space beyond!

      it’s strange, baring in mind this was a few years ago but at the time I visited they had 1 side closed off to the public. Effectively the dead side with no shops or anything and only one small portion of it left that seemed to be very active.

      I have deep facination for places on the cusp of abandonment. Another one I visited was the Swindon Tented Market. From my childhood I remember it being an incredible place but when it closed it was just empty. With nothing in it.

      It’s a shame, places have a lot of potential to be community spaces but they opt to just let it die…
