I remember it pretty well as a kid, it used to be a thriving shopping centre until the likes of Safeway and Asda turned up. It's quite atmospheric when the wind whips through the place, it sounds like the moans of the undead.

Daily Photo #70
This one was shot at the rapidly decaying Swan Centre in Yardley. Its tagline is Swan into the Swan for a bargain. Sadly, all the bargains are now gone and all there is are boarded up shops and a bingo hall that's seen better days. It almost has a Phil Larkin or Graham Greene sadness about the whole thing. A shopping centre now left to rot.

Ooh, I like the colors on this one. Did you do any color editing, or was it this spooky all by itself?
I quadtoned it but the location is pretty sinister :) Didn't have to do much work to get the ambiance.
