Explorers
Abandoned Britain
Stunning, mostly black and white photography of the crumbling industry and great institutions of Britain.
Abandoned Places
Impressive portfolio of abandoned places in mainland Europe. Emotive images and well-structured narratives.
Industrial Britain
An excellent (though little updated) website dedicated to documenting and recording the relics of past industry in Britain
Mechanised
A seldom updated but masterfully written and illustrated record of explorations of derelict spaces chiefly in the East of England. Thoughtful and engaging.
The Nostalgic Glass
Deliciously evocative photography of abandonments in Russia and the USA, and a beautifully designed website to boot.
Sub-Urban
For those who prefer exploration of the subterranean variety: excellent photography and tales of secret tunnels, labyrinthine drains and other urban deadspace.
Urban Decay
A photography-based website mainly concerned with former lunatic asylums.
Urbex:UK
One of the oldest and most popular 'UrbEx' sites: brilliant and well-researched with entertaining narratives and photography. Probably the ultimate authority on the legendary Cane Hill Hospital in Coulsdon, Surrey.
Tomboy Urbex
Tomboy-urbex contains photographic and written reports of normally unseen or off-limits places, ruins and 'haikyo' in Japan, Europe and the USA.

Well-photographed and well-researched; a website dedicated to the interest that two brothers share in the social history that surrounds them, derelict buildings, the great outdoors and music that accompanies them on their journeys.
Artists/Photographers

An unique and remarkable collaborative project blending art, interactive animation and photography of derelict spaces. Brilliant and creepy, perhaps not one to view alone when it's dark.

A well- written and photographed 'blog format site dealing with wasteland, transient and derelict spaces in the urban environment.
Fritz Fabert: Archäologie der Arbeit
An inpiring German photography project featuring artefacts found in derelict spaces, literally, 'the archaeology of work'.

Fine art photography by Brian Wells featuring ruined and derelict places in the Norfolk Broads. Spendid rural decay pictures.
.
Grand Declines: Welsh Ruined Mansions
A one-man project to photograph the lost great houses and vanished estates of Wales, and some of the humbler homes too.
