Dead Space: Unused Space in Leicester

Leicester is a post-industrial city that has many derelict buildings and recreational land that are currently vacant. As a person who is keen on outdoor life (mountain biking, hiking etc), I find it frustrating to see developments cropping up on the edges of the city, nibbling away at the countryside, when these inner city areas are unused. Through a process of investigation, research and image making I hope to demonstrate a way in which this land can be put to better use.

Changing Door Policy

Every time I go to this site, what's boarded up and what isn't is changing, meaning that I can only gain access to certain areas.

This time, the area where the squat was before had been reboarded back up, but the other factory was still open.

As it was quite a rainy day, there was water pouring through the place, which made going tricky. It also highlighted areas of flooring which weren't safe to go.

However, the concreate flooring of the fire escape is in good condition, so I was able to go in.
