Searching for Sites

Anxious to get on, but yet to receive my plays, I decided that I would spend some time today having a look at potential spaces that I could theoretically do my production in. I didn't really know where to start, but I'd had this idea when thinking about Salomé that maybe an old swimming pool or something might be a good idea, as it is a space that lends itself to an audience of spectators, and some old pools had really beautiful interiors.
This at least acted as a starting point and lead me to this beautiful website, which I now ADORE called 'Urban Ghosts' (http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com) which documents beautiful images of old abandoned buildings etc. In reality, it would be near impossible to stage anything int most of these places due to health and safety, but at least I could identify some of the visuals that I appreciated, after all, in the end I really need to find somewhere I can get into to measure (or at least get hold of the grand plans for).
Anyway, below is a small moodboard of some of the images I found. Just places which I thought had a good character, but are non-specific to a play.
