    Default The White House - Pontefract - January 2011 (something different)

    Hi everyone - theres already reports of this place but i thought id go for a different angle - whilst there i had my 100mm macro and a nice big torch with me - upstairs on the 2nd floor i found loads of slides and negatives - so stuck them under my torch and snapped away - then back home "developed" them in adobe lightroom :P just thought this is a little different!


    not sure exactly where this was taken but googling the number plate i found the car was registered in leeds between 1988 and 1989... not familiar with leeds though


    i googled the hotel behind and although its not called "the hospitality inn" anymore i still got the address! this was taken on coventry street, london!


    and theres a street view shot where you can see the resemblance :P


    some photos are very water damaged so alot of colour and detail lost


    the majority were of this wedding...


    the after party?


    the front door of the white house?


    i swear this was taken in the kitchen it looks very familiar!

    Hope you enjoyed looking!

    Excellent, photos or negs found are always gold dust.

    The wedding looks like a meeting of the ugly convention.
    Under the radar, over the top

    Bottom photo is well good Urbex tilt!

    I found some slides from 1890s, being meaning to do something with them instead of having them sat on top of the fridge, most are faded but a few are mint. Might see if i can do the same!


    Relax Im not going to kill you, I'm too tired..... Maybe later
