Two Mirrors
Shot at the wonderful and fascinating abandoned toolmakers in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, I was immediately drawn to this pair of windows with the grubby lace curtain reflected in the mirror lying on its’ side, and by the other objects scattered here, bathed in subtle light from the muted sky.

I first discovered JadedSnapper through Twitter, a self-described still youthful yet “curmudgeonly git” who is employed as the “third best” press photographer on the EveningSnooze.
