Derbyshire Lost | Gold 12

By Derbyshire Lost

T.G. Green Pottery.

“Hello, hello, baby you called? I can’t hear a thing”

August 2012 we decided to explore the T.G. Green pottery site in Swadlincote, Derbyshire. As this is located only a few miles from home it seemed a nice easy place to wonder around. What seemed like an easy day out soon turned out to be problem after problem, starting with the satnav that couldn’t locate it to the belt almost shearing in my car which drove both the power steering and also the fan for the radiator and cooling system. Normally this wouldn’t be too much of a problem in the UK, however this particular day was one of the hottest and the car was constantly just above ‘over heating’

The exploration would have gone better if it wasn’t for my pounding head and the awful humidity, we did get a few cool shots and my fellow explorer managed to find the gap in the fence though I tore my camera bag and jeans on the barbedwire surrounding it.

About Derbyshire Lost

Philip has had an interest in photography from an early age, however it wasn't until 2000 that he began to take his hobby seriously posting across many sites. In 2007 as a side project Philip uploaded a few urban exploration shots to MySpace expecting little interest, however in under 2 weeks the page had received over 600 views and Derbyshire Lost was officially born. Philip also has a love of pet and scenic photography and many of his images feature the family dog, a border collie cross rescued from a local shelter in 2002. Living so close to the UK's beautiful Peak National Park presents many opportunities to capture the stunning and dramatic scenery, from the deep red sun sets to the moody and foreboding Mam Tor.
