An urban explorer, who documents his explorations of abandoned sites under the name Lost Places and Forgotten Faces, has visited disused 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
7. Armley Medical Centre
Plans to turn the site into a hostel and flats have fallen flat and two separate fires and significant have left the site looking like a "total eyesore for residents" Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces
8. Adel Eastmoor Approved School
Opening in 1857, Eastmoor Reformatory for Boys was certified to house up to 60 convicted young males and continued to rehabilitate young men until the 1970s, when it became a community home. The school was used to house Leeds Metropolitan students until 2003 and has been left empty ever since. Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces
9. Adel Eastmoor Approved School
Visiting the site for the second time last year, the explorer said: "There's so many hidden rooms, decaying features, graffiti, and of course, that epic swimming pool. "You just don't find that many local explores that are that cool and interesting. I'm really surprised this place is still standing since my first visit, and it looks like no work securing the site has taken place either." Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces
10. Woodhouse Ridge Bomb Shelter
Public air raid shelters were installed across Leeds ahead of the Second World War, particularly near sites that it was feared would be targeted by the Nazis. While many remain hidden, this one in Woodhouse Ridge Park has had its entrance barged in and is accessible to the public. Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces

The explorer, who visited the site for the second time last year, wrote: "This one is notoriously hard to find and not many explorers have been able to do so. It's hidden away in the woods, and even on my revisit took me a fair bit of time to track down. "It's a really interesting spot once you find it. Inside it's looking pretty much the same, with the same creepy clown graffiti still greeting you when you enter." Photo: Lost Places and Forgotten Faces
12. Haigh Pigfarm
The farm dates back the 1950s, and was once part of a much larger farm complex that specialised in the breeding of domestic pigs as livestock. It survived up until 1985 when the farmer who ran it passed away. Photo: Lost Places & Forgotten Faces
