Abandoned Barracks

This set of images were taken at an Army barracks which became abandoned many years ago. After stumbling across the location by accident, I had to try and find out as much information as I could in order to try and visualise what went on. The barracks were built around 1957 and dealt with the supply and maintenance of weaponry and munitions and various other military equipment until 1993. It was also a Central Vehicle Depot during this time until the barracks closed in 1970, and the Territorial Army took over. Until it finally closed the site in the early 1980s.

Within the images below, my main aim was to create darker images to replicate the connotations associated with the Army. Due to the building being completely abandoned, rather than work with objects, lighting was my main focus as well as the greenery trying to seep through the darkness. 

Hope you enjoy and please click the thumbs up :).
