so curious about #12!!!
Soo cool! really like these abandon places!! btw. anyone know about a place nin norway nearby Stavanger?
I have Murphy radio lust! Grew up with one of those beside my bed!
Where is this? Anyone know?
Yes, where is this? Although I enjoy looking at the photos, I am constantly frustrated there is very little information provided with them. Someone needs to edit before posting.
A context is needed.
Almost all of the pictures had electronics gear, the newspaper was from 1956. I think we are looking at the post-war use of this site that may have been a POW camp during the war.
Looks like Harperley.
Agree about No. 12 – what is in those packages!!
And also that too many of the postings on this marvellous site don’t have sufficient contextual detail to really appreciate what we are looking at.
I think one of the charms of this site is that you have to work out the context for yourself. There is a link to the source of these photos at the bottom of the pics – the photographer says the land is in private hands and he can’t reveal the location.
Fascinating that the paper should be from the time of the Suez crisis, such a turning point in Britain’s history.
Robin has got it exactly right.
I think the packages are full of paper and envelopes.
Yes…unfortunately the present unrest in Egypt; the dictatorial rule of its president, and the power of its army, stem somewhat from our inability to win at Suez.

I looked at all those old Vacuum Tubes [Valves] and thought what a treasure trove for collectors of old electronics. Then, too, I can recall going to the Rexall drug store to test tubes and buy replacements right there at the kiosk. Man, did I just age myself…
