courthouse

This was a bit of a chance explore with it being located next door to an active police station, but found access and nobody turned up. History The Burton upon Trent Magistrates’ Court was built between 1909–1910, designed by Henry Beck in a striking Edwardian Baroque style. The building is...

March 2025 In March, beneath a dull grey Glasgow sky, I visited the District Courthouse with @Mr Budge. Once inside, it was immediately clear that the ground floor had been completely gutted. Rooms that once buzzed with life were now hollow shells—stripped of furniture, panelling, and any sign...

October 2021 The Visit Visited on two occasions, the first was a nighttime visit with @stranton and @coolboyslim and the second was a solo visit on a wet weekday morning. The building is huge and I could have easily spent double the amount of time I did in there. It appears to have been left...

Anyone who grew up during the troubles will have heard of the Crumlin Road Couthouse and the associated jail across the road. For those who don’t know check out a recent post with historical background and some pretty pictures of the outside...

This one has been done to death but still contains some unique photograph moments so I've always wanted to do it. I'll get into it but we were inside for about 30 mins with police barking at us to leave - therefore there isn't a video along with this one. Sheffield Courthouse Sheffield Old...

Had a totally unexpected visit to the old Courthouse after the new owners saw us walk by with my mother in wheelchair and asked us if they could use the wheelchair to test out widths of doors and stairs in return for a tour of what is effect a massive building site. The courts where built in...

I had never managed to explore a courthouse before (and before anyone mentions Sheffield I've just never got around to it for one reason or another :p) so it was awesome to finally step foot in an abandoned one - and what a one it turned out to be. The courthouse was constructed in stages...

The purpose-built County Court in Burton Upon Trent opened in 1862 featuring a three storey Italianate stone facade. Inside the courthouse features a double height courtroom with high-level arched windows around every wall, flooding the room with light. The original ornate balustrade survives in...

The History Sheffield Crown Court stands in centre of Sheffield, The building was commissioned to replace Sheffield’s first town hall, which had opened in 1700 to a design by William Renny. This first structure stood by the parish church, on a site with little prospect for extension. The Old...

Been sitting on this a little while now, mainly cos others have already done impressive photos from here. This was right up my street, really is about the decay and the atmosphere linked to what once went on here. Thanks to 'slayaaaa' for the heads-up. HISTORY (Copied from Slayaaaa and The_Raw...

Just a little report with my absolutely terrible Samsung S3 camera to show I actually go places as some people (no names) don't agree with people using the site without posting anything up. So here we go.. This was a spontaneous event as we walked past and realised the access was fairly easy...

This was quite an interesting explore, despite how small and heavily decayed the building is. Security is virtually non-existant, though I'd warn anyone tempted to explore this place... skip your lunch, that extra weight might mean the difference between making it out in one piece, or falling...

1. As is often the case with some of these European locations I have been unable to source a great deal of information about this abandoned Courthouse in Germany. What we do know is that the building opened in 1910 and was the home to the Internal Affairs Agency and the District Court. The...
