Cabin heading out to find a new home in the river below.
Abandoned since 1981, I found this old farmstead while doing a land surveying gig back in 2016. Seems like someone’s dream was just up and forgotten one day…
Remnants of a Dying Age: abandoned coal mining operation in Coldiron, Harlan County, KY. Apologies for the lack of content lately, but regular posting will continue! If you’re still here and enjoying this kind of content, I thank you for the support!
“This was my aunt Emma Lou's first car. She worked for years to finally be able to afford it. Even years later, just as it sat in the picture, she was still so proud of it.” This 1975 Chevy Monza was submitted by a follower over on Instagram. Always fascinated by abandoned cars.
Who wants to stop by the Stoney Fork Truck Stop for a bite to eat!? Really loved the way these pictures turned out, even if they aren’t the best quality. Places like this make me reminisce on childhood outings to the local greasy spoon with your grandpa. Gone are the good days…
This beautifully decrepit farmhouse in Sandgap, KY just happens to be the first user-submitted picture here! Photo credits go to mattappleget on instagram!
“Strip off her top Knock her to her knees Disgrace that big ole mountain With your broad-form deed” The horrendous beauty of mountain-top removal mining and what it’s “reclamation” leaves behind… nothing.
Decay spreads quickly between neighbors… County Pike Road, Loyall, Kentucky
It's a twenty four foot long vessel It measures eight feet wide It's a fifty-three year old camper It's made to pull behind 🪕🎶
Paducah, Kentucky
Feels really cool to have even just a couple people interested in stuff like this, but everyone’s welcome! Aside from showing my own pics of how Appalachia has changed over time, I hope this becomes a community page for people to share their own related pics. Thx for being here!
