I think I've found the website Chris has been doing his location scouting http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk

Below is the latest abandoned wreck, anyone without an ounce of daring would be dismissive of, but hold on, jump the security fence, scramble over the wall, dodge the disused crack den and voila' your in.

Once in we scouted the various rooms, some had roofing above, some partial, others non, I got a feel for the place and Chris talked though some ideas for a scene. The one we did was set within the window frame, where there was no longer any glass but there was an abundance of bricks so we set about moving them into the windowless room in preparation for the shot. Once we had dusted down, set-up the camera and adjusted the settings we got down to the manual labour. I played brick builder and Chris shot maker. 40plus bricks later and we had a scene*
*Sadly Chris had not set the camera properly hence we lost what we captured.

**Shane saves the day-A couple of days later Chris was able to return with Shane to get the shot done!
