Thanks for those. A few times recently I've wished I had photos of buildings which you think of as permanent, and then pass one day to see they have been demolished and the site redeveloped.
The light in St Bart's hospital is great.

They would work well as a series like this;

Fascinating, yet weirdly unsettling. Thanks.

Very nice images. I guess that today, it would be nearly impossible to take them. The mood is fantastic but they seem so remote in time.
