France Prisoners on the Loos - June 2013

[The Urban Adventurer]

Our first stop on our little wander across France and Belgium this weekend…after waking up the small village of sleeping Romanians parked in front of the place we thought we’d better make ourselves scarce!

After a lovely walk in the sunshine we found our entry point! Easy this Urbex lark !

After 20 minutes of acting like a bunch of newbies ….first rule of urbex…always check to see if the bloody enormous door staring you in the face is open..we climbed rather unceremoniously in through a small window !

The place is huge! ..lots to see and lots of people to get in your shot ! It’s urbex central this place!

Won’t bore you with the rest…there will be a billion reports in the next few hours!

If you want to do it..then do it quick..

Here are a few of my favourite shots …hope you like them.



1 . Entrance to a Life of Hell..



2. the penthouse wing..



3. corridors of light



4. the showers !!



5. all along the watch tower



6. peeling paint porn



7. a quick selfie…this part was my favourite..



8. the secure and rather small exercise yard



9. arty POV shot…

Thanks for looking !
