The Abandoned St. Mary’s Secondary School, Dublin, Ireland

This building had been a two-storey convent school for girls, erected in 1901. The number of attendees dwindled and it closed in 2007. Thankfully, I got in three days before the JCBs moved in on their prey and completely demolished it. The Department of Education plans on replacing the site with a new secondary school.

Abandoned World Photography

Abandoned World Photography is a collection of rare, exclusive images that offer viewers a unique experience. The photographs and videos you see on this website are snapshots into the past where you can witness history frozen in time. When choosing which buildings to photograph, I strive to visit historical places of public interest or meaning, such as abandoned hospitals, mental asylums, hotels, industrial sites, prisons, and more. Feel free to contact me regarding urbex/urban exploration, press/media appearances, how to start off as a beginner urban explorer, or if you know of a vacant site that you would like to see photographed in your country.
