I’m thinking more from a health & safety point of view. Many derelict buildings are in poor repair, and if you go in alone and have an accident, you could be there for a long time. Some of these places, especially industrial ones, may have areas which contain asbestos, chemicals, or other things that you’d probably rather not get covered in. And that’s not the only risk: I’ve seen a derelict building which had been occupied by squatters, and there were more than a few discarded hypodermic needles lying on the floor.

Places like the Denbigh Asylum are worth recording before they get demolished or redeveloped beyond all recognition, but I’m not sure that just climbing over the fence and walking around with your camera is the best way to do it.

If you’re going to insist on doing this kind of thing, at least make sure you don’t go alone, that you let someone know where you are, and that you take proper safety precautions – wear good solid boots or shoes, carry a torch and a charged mobile, and don’t monkey around with anything you find, especially if it looks rusty, damp, or stained
