Asylums are creepy because of the reputation they have, of cruelty to people who are the most vulnerable. I guess half of that comes from the fact that they are usually big imposing buildings and horror films. Though alot of crap has gone in Mental Asylums.

This is a weird one because it is someones house, abandoned in 1995, which still has a lot of their stuff in, seemingly stuck in the 80s. Lekhampton.

This is an interesting forum post as it's looking at what happens to disused buildings (this old cinema in Cheltenham being demolished for housing) which is a shame because alot of these buildings have so much character and history in them (at least in a architectural sense).

Ideas...

Another thing which I could do, is something to do with birds, as I'm interested in birdwatching and birds in general really. There's a bird club in Cheltenham http://www.cheltenhambirdclub.org.uk/

I'd wanna do something on local birds probably, something starting off as something like a spotters guide type thing.
