Must admit I have a thing for Kielder dam. Europe's largest man made lake. The Valve tower (pictured) and the poured concrete walls are a particular favourite of mine.

What's yours?

    Think they were under the official secrets act for a while.

    Many of them have been destroyed.

    Most of the remaining ones are derelict.

    A tiny handful are privately owned and have been restored – there’s one near me in north east Scotland which sometimes does tours.

    I first learned about them while browsing around urban exploration forum 28dayslater.co.uk in the mid 2000s, always found them oddly fascinating.
