A beautifully illustrated, fascinating compendium of abandoned places that were so recently a significant part of modern life but are now discarded and ravaged by nature and time.

Travel to Stack Rock Fort, a Victorian island reclaimed by nature
Discover the Castle of Sammezzano, a masterpiece of excess and refinement
Explore the Palazzo Athena, a neo-classical house with a large, elliptical room that extends over 2 floors
Investigate the Crespi d'Adda Power Plant, the jewel of industrial technology in 1909
Examine the Hugo Mine Hangman's Room which is not what you think
Journey to Saint Martin of the Tigers a ghost town in Southern Angola, a model settlement in one of the most inhospitable regions of the Namibe desert


Each place comes with a bespoke map to help locate the forsaken site and is illustrated with beautiful photographs that really bring the places to life.
