Kirby Castle is an unfinished 15th century fortified manor house in Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire. Begun in 1480 by William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings, during the period of the Wars of the Roses. He already owned a manor house on the site (some of the original manor house foundations are visible as ruins within the enclosure of the castle), for which he planned to totally redevelop. Work stopped at the castle when he was executed in 1483 for treason by Richard III and it was never completed. My film try`s to capture the spooky atmosphere and the history of the buildings remains which are now owned by English Heritage. Images follow.

I was given a rare opportunity to explore the disused area beneath the former Leicester Corporation Tramways Edwardian District Tram Depot during their Heritage Open Days event. Hidden below ground level the disused dark and dusty space makes for a spooky atmosphere of cobwebs, dark rooms and shows many echoes of its past as both a tram and bus depot. The area was originally used to repair and service the trams during the depots working life but after having a concrete floor installed has remained untouched for many years before the LTHT took over the lease of the building. photos follow
