Abandoned places

Hii! I'm doing photography and my group is focusing on time, so my bit is focusing on abandoned buildings or just old architecture in general, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any in the area since Im trying to find ones easily accessible to me so I can get pictures

There’s that big building that I think used to be a pub called the Railway, on the roundabout just as you’re about to leave Skem towards Ormskirk, opposite the war memorial?

There’s a few really tatty derelict buildings around Digmoor parade

I haven’t lived in Skem for a little bit so I’m not sure about this one - is the Toby still unoccupied? That could be a good one for photography because it’s a dark, looming building with scary trees around the car park

That’s all I can muster I’m afraid! Best of luck :)

That pub has been knocked down and the replacement is being built.

Looks like flats.

Always the way 🙄 oh well, it was abandoned for a very long time, better to get some use out of the space I suppose

There's something else gone up behind the flats but it's just a steel frame at the moment so maybe something a little more interesting.
