The explorer, who posts pictures of his visits under the name Lost Places and Forgotten Faces, has visited abandoned schools, mills, houses, farms, libraries and fairgrounds across Yorkshire and has shared some of his favourites from the city of Leeds.
He said: “Leeds is one of my favourite cities in the UK to explore. The city has gone through major development over the last few years so finding abandoned places can be difficult, but I love a challenge.
"If you search hard enough, you can still find old, derelict and creepy buildings to explore before they are eventually demolished.”
Check out some of the sites he’s visited in our gallery below:
1. B & J Wright and Sons (aka Hill Top Works)
Hill Top Works is a large, derelict factory complex located on Buslingthorpe Lane which was last occupied by machinery manufacturers B & J Wright and Sons. The company made production machinery for the leather and tanning industry. Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces

By the 2000s, the tower blocks began to show significant wear and tear and by 2019 the council concluded that the buildings had 'exceeded their original design lifespan'. By 2021, all tenants had vacated the flats and demolition is set to take place this year. Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces
