Inside Merseyside’s Forgotten Buildings

Merseyside is home to some of the UK’s most iconic architecture—but hidden among its streets are buildings lost to time, slowly decaying behind boarded windows and rusted gates. In Derelict Merseyside, photographers James Lacey and David Gooch shine a spotlight on these forgotten spaces—capturing eerie, breathtaking, and sometimes heartbreaking glimpses inside abandoned hospitals, factories, cinemas, schools, and libraries.
Driven by nostalgia, curiosity, and a deep respect for the past, Lacey and Gooch offer not just stunning imagery, but a quiet plea to preserve what’s left. Derelict Merseyside is more than a photo book—it’s a time capsule, a tribute, and a stark reminder of what we stand to lose.
