I have no idea what this derelict building was for in its former life, although I'm guessing it was originially there (in the middle of nowhere) for some 'official' purpose judging by its utilitarian design, the communal toilets and these rows of uniform (torn out) windows both front and back. Trees have encroached right up to the walls suggesting it was abandoned at least 20 years. A single storey block hemmed in by railway lines, woods and a ditch, with two feet of water submerging the floor at one end - a scene experienced as a true Tarkovsky moment. There was a thin decaying mattress and some faded food packaging in one room suggesting that at some point someone had been sleeping rough here, maybe five years ago.
