Very Nice

One of my top 10 favorites!

Crazy to think its only been abandoned since 2000....looks more like 1970

Very Nice............once again!

Another outstanding shot!

Amazing!

Man, I grew up running all through byberry, especially the buildings across the street from where most of these shots were taken. I remember clearly seeing long hallway which was one of the underground hallways and at the end were double doors with a devils face saying "welcome to hell" . It was amazing having a place like this to party at. We had our own PARTY BUILDINGS ! Complete with underground catacomb crawl spaces and very dark and gloomy rooms, several with the floors falling apart,. You kinda had to hop over those sopts. sometimes a 3-5 foot jump was required. And the roof was crumbling up 6 floors up we would be sitting on large half broken concrete slabs. Getting completely wasted. It's amazing none of us ever had life threatening injuries. At least nothing a few stiches or a cast couldn't fix. To sum it up, we had life by the BALLZ !!! Later

We went to the nearby gardens where the people from the city would grow thier veggies. We would steal us a sweet melon and go munch at byberry. Well this one day we decided to grab a melon someone spotted us and started chase , about three of these crazed gardeners chased us right into one of the buildings. When we got to the top floor we heard one of the guys coming up the stairs. So we hopped out onto the roof and it was very steep about 5 floors high. My sneakers were really worn on the bottoms and I was having major problems securing my footing. I slowly kept sliding off of this roof, which by the way the shingles were so old they would just crumble as you slid. Anyway here we are four of us on the roof and a guy hanging out the window we just climbed out of swinging a machete screaming at us about stealing his fruit. I can laugh now but I was about 14 when this took place and it was the most terrified I had ever been in my life.Finally my friend saw my dilemma and carefully helped me back up to the peak where it was safe.Eventually the guys gave up thier chase,afraid to venture onto to the treacherous roof.
I grew up in these abandoned buildings and I wouldn't want to change a thing. What an incredible childhood byberry provided for me and my friends.
I am glad you guys created this site to share this memorable event from my childhood.
Peace out all you crazy people. Nottingham Rulz 4 LIFE !

I was climbing down a cluttered stairwell most likely inhebriated most comfortably but slipped and my hand reached out for something to stop my fall, wouldn't ya know there was a door with a small square window that was smashed out and my palm thumped right ontop of a peice of glass protruding from the bottom. Needless to say " It Hurt ". Oh ,and there was this other time..

I grew up in Nottingham and walked the RED BRICK ROAD thru the woods to byberry every other day just about. It's truly sometplace that every kid should be able to explore. I found myself and my good friends walking the halls of byberry at midnight having drinking parties there and sometimes tripping my face off while exploring this ominious group of delapitative structures. I still have at the bottom of my palm which actually went right thru to the bone when it happened.
