Former Elder-Beerman At Woodville Mall

Former Elder-Beerman At Woodville Mall, originally uploaded by DunMiff/sys.

The former and now abandoned Elder-Beerman department store at the Woodville Mall in Northwood, Ohio.

There are no words to describe how disturbingly creepy and wrong this mall is. Two anchor stores left, The Andersons and a Sears, and neither have mall entrances anymore (despite that they were both quite busy this particular Friday afternoon). A theater and about a dozen or so stores left inside, and Deb is the only one that is a national chain (there is space for around 100 stores). The third anchor (Elder-Beerman) and its wing are roped off and have been closed so long that they are decaying. Half the lights weren't on, there was no heat (it was quite chilly inside), there were buckets collecting water leaking through the roof, and the whole mall smelled of mold.

Pros: Good Dr. Pepper at the only place left in the food court and the restrooms were quite clean (minus the leaking urinal).

Skelton Park, originally uploaded by tarboat.

The Skelton Park ironstone mine was sunk by Bell Brothers in 1872 with two shafts of 378 ft (upcast) and 384 ft (downcast), both 14ft in diameter. Bell Brothers were taken over by Dorman Long and Co Ltd in 1923 and that company operated the mine until closure in 1938. It is reckoned that the mine produced in excess of 18.5 million tons of ironstone.

To the left is the top of the upcast shaft and fan house with the roofless main winding engine house centre and power house on the right.

The Regal - Kingston Upon Thames

The Regal - Kingston Upon Thames, originally uploaded by Southern Driver.

Opened on 15th February 1932, as 'The Regal Cinema' and the first film to be shown was "Splinters of the Navy" with Sydney Howard.

In 1936 Union Cinemas took over, and the name changed along with it a year later in 1937. It was in 1938, however, that Union Cinemas were taken over by ABC (Asociated British Cinemas) and the ABC's name was changed back to Regal, a year later, during 1938.

After 23 years the cinema would have it's name changed again! In August 1961 it became the ABC again. The Wurlitzer organ was removed in 1972, and taken to the 'Musical Museum' in nearby Brentford, where it can still be seen and heard today.

Closure came on July 17th 1976 after showing 'Blondie' and 'Adventures of a Taxi Driver' and it was not until 1991 that it would reopen, although only as a Coral Bingo Club. Since April 2010, Gala Bingo (who presumably took over from Coral) the building has been boarded up and closed down. Fortunately, however, it is Grade II listed.

Last taxed in 1986 - this can't have been parked-up since then - it's not that rusty!

However, the base of the cab and the wings show quite severe rust and the seam of the roof panel has the typical LAD cab rot.

High Royds Asylum Admin Offices

2010-07-11T16:39:00.001-07:00

High Royds Asylum Admin Offices, originally uploaded by Urban~Spaceman.

The administration building, which is Grade II listed, is now considered something of a show piece at the former hospital, which is situated on a 300-acre (1.2 km2) site at the foot of Rombalds Moor.

It features an Italian mosaic floor in the main corridor which is intricately decorated with the Yorkshire Rose and black daisies - the latter of which provided inspiration for the title of a television screenplay, filmed at High Royds, as a tribute to sufferers of Alzheimers.

The hospital once contained a library, a surgery, a dispensary, butchers, dairies, bakers, a sweetshop, an upholster's, a cobbler's, spacious grounds, a ballroom and even a railway.

The asylum eventually closed in 2003 and is now under major redevelopment as housing and flats with the admin offices standing as the centre piece and an everlasting memorial to the sites previous historical use.
