Default Ghost prison!

Evening all,

If, having properly steeled yourself, you look he

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...oc=addr& om=1

You'll see a horrific, spectral prison, through which the pattern of paths
and fields on the ground where it lies is still visible. A ghostly prison,
built to hold who knows what manner of eldritch inmates - and even more
terrifying, it's in Staines!

PS Actually this:

Presumably built between two aerial photos of the area being taken or
something.

Try the glass airliners at Geneva airport, alongside the 3rd (NE)
gate island, and moving down the taxiway to its west.

There was a large prison there, they knocked down all the floors above
ground, leaving only the basement, and then built on top of it. The
basement is still accessible, and fairly safe; its fairly old - at
least 19th century, and very creepy.

I found an estate with no rooves on... it looks like one of those diagrams
you see in estate agent windows.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...&t=k&z=19&om=1

If you look at the same estate in Windows Live Local, the Birds Eye Views
show the estate completed, but the plan view shows the stuff that was
demolished to make room for it.
