Paula has asked us to show monochrome structures, and Debs has asked us to show decline, so here are both challenges captured in a few images, and none of thse structures have survived beyond fragments:
Frongoch lead mine, way into its decline
Some remaining structures at Ilfracombe station in 1972
Brighton West pier, structure in decline 1986

A theme you always tackle well, Sue. Decline and decay.
Best wishes, Pete.
Well, it is my ‘thing’!!
Love the first, Sue. I like a little romanticism with my decay. 🙂 🙂 Happy Sunday!
I thought of you, Jo, when I posted the pier shot…. Hope you’ve had a good Sunday
I like the pier shot too, Sue, so thank you. 🙂
Quiet, sunny (mostly), preparing for my trip to Shropshire tomorrow.
Oh, that will be good….send my regards to Tish!
I shall be departing fully kitted out with hugs. 🙂
Excellent! I knew you would!!
Formidable takes , so pertinent to the themes!
Many thanks, Anna! And all taken in the days of film….
You killed both birds with one stone. I like that 🙂 Nobody can depict decline as beautifully and wistfully as you do. I love your structures, Sue!
Thank you for your words, Paula! Beautiful and wistful depictions of decline…..I like that! 😊💕
🙂

Fantastic for the challenges, and fantastic in their own rights, Sue. The first two have real mood and atmosphere. The last one is rather sad for me. I love seeing the ruins these days, but I don’t think I ever saw it in its more substantial form. Your shot shows how much was lost
Thank you, Debs….glad you like these
Awesome photos 🙂
Thank you, Lynn
I love the grain effect that you get from film, my very first iPhone did the same, wish I still had it 🙂
😟
Brighton pier is delightful.
Thanks, Jude….not much of it left now!
Great photos – very moody and atmospheric. I particularly like the pier as I remember it so well.
Thanks, Val….glad you enjoyed these
Love these, especially the pier. Too bad they no longer exist.
Well, there is a fragment or two of the Brighton pier left – here it is in January 2015: https://suejudd.com/2015/01/27/brighton-west-pier-now-and-black-glass/
Ilfracombe, good heavens!
a long time ago….
Superb examples Sue! I like the strong lines of the pier.
Thank you, Madhu! That pier is virtually gone now, just a small portion of metal framework remains, and that will be swept away before too long
