Welcome to Grandiose Decay
This whole site is dedicated to the memory of all buildings, past and present, that have been part of our country's heritage.
I don't know which is worse - seeing beautiful old buildings which used to make up part of our industrial history being turned into posh modern apartments or being left to fall into disrepair. Everything deserves a chance to be remembered and be recognised for what that business or building, small or large, contributed to our workforce and heritage.
So I kind of elected myself to capture a moment in time before it disappeared completely. This is a kind of a photo journal of various bits and pieces I have stumbled across in and around Leeds. Hoping to gain some interesting shots of places you couldn't otherwise see and giving a bit of an insight and history into the background whilst I'm there.
...the good news is it's not always bad news... there are buildings included in here which are being rescued, renovated lovingly and cared for. I just want to create a legacy out of everything that has ever existed..
