Collapses

[mookster]

I love natural decay, especially when something has collapsed - be it a wall or a floor or whatever - it's like the ultimate in natural decay when a floor has collapsed entirely of it's own accord taking things down with it in my eyes, and always makes for a cool, unique photo.

It just leaves the question 'how close to the edge do you go?'.....

Add photos of collapsed things below, I probably have more somewhere but need to remember where they are.

This ward in Talgarth was always great to photograph, especially comparing it to photos from previous years.

Apologies for the really crap photo, it was taken by me many many years ago at Denbigh, never forget seeing this.

Poor construction or subsidence at a guess, the opposite corner at the rear had also collapsed too but not quite as bad as the front. Real funny story to go along with that church, to cut a long story short whilst we were exploring it the pastor of the replacement church next door came out and was standing outside when half a dozen of us came streaming out the front door, she was bemused but actually alright and she just wanted to know if the radiators were still inside the building!

This is a collapse of a ceiling in the Bagot arms pub, Erdington you can see the extent of the damage cause of this

Woah im surprised that hasn't fallen down yet

Not sure how I forgot this one initially, one of the largest collapses I've seen caused by the sheer weight of snow on a weakened unsupported roof.

These 2 sprung to mind

I'm not sure it counts as an collapse if a guy does it with a digger
