 As the construction / destruction is continuing at pace at Hellingly there are several parts of the remaining buildings where there were once corridors that are now open to the world. Although there are plenty of wards left, many of the connecting corridors that we used to traverse are no longer left and iopen out to the external rubble. This is a point in case. The bath being one of the few items that are actually left in the facility, pretty much everything else is stripped.
It’s worth taking care here as the construction workers were outside so good to keep an eye out of who is where to avoid being advised that one should not really be there. Obviously a good idea to keep an eye on things when on the first floor to ensure no falling out too!
 This was again a fairly hard image to process, the contrast of the room with the bath and light outside was hard to balance. Its worth really taking note of exposure with HDR in this respect to make sure that both shadows and highlights are exposed correctly.

As a novitiate UE and fellow photog, I don’t mean to sound like a doting grandmother, but do you and your fellow UE’s take considerable care to avoid obvious dangers like unstable structures, floors–and protect against highly hazardous substances and invisible dangers like asbestos, lead, carbon monoxide, etc. when exploring these gems?
Really nice shot Mark, love the way the hall leads you through the image
Chris, we are aware of the dangers, the only thing that really concerns me is asbestos as my father died of mesothelioma a few years ago. If structures are unsafe I won’t go there, I’m of the age where I have a deal of common sense and am not full of bravado so pretty sensible. I’ve only has a couple of incidents, slowest miss was with a nail that went through my shoe in-between toes, I now wear more sturdy shoes!
