The creepy photographs were taken by film maker and visual effects artist David Broad, and his partner Julie Kendall, after being gripped by the urban exploration world. 'Julie and I went for a walk one day and saw a sign that read 'danger keep out this is not a playground', well this was like a red flag to a bull and we had to see,' said David
