Pretty grim, isn't it? Another example of 'ruin pornography' I suppose.
This photo was taken in the Stoke-on-Trent district of Middleport, an industrial area of former potteries which is extremely run-down.
Strangely enough, a nearby working pottery, Burleigh, makes a virtue of this dire situation - describing itself as authentically Victorian - and so attracting tourists!
Dire is the word and looks well past saving and restoring now
