Coming Soon....
GHOST-of:
I am still uploading previously unseen photos into their various corresponding categories within the Hellingly subdomain and implementing the current stock with the unseen photos. This will take time, so please keep checking in to see what's new.
**********
There have been a few items in the local newspaper about The Astoria Bingo Hall in the Old Steine. This is a beautiful building sporting many art deco features. It is looking increasingly as though this building may be up for the chop soon as there have been hints made of redevelopment. To this end, I have begun the process of attempting to get in contact with the selling ageny Graves Jenkins, in the hope that we might be able to thoroughly photograph the place before anything bad happens to it. This is work in progress and still in the formative stages, but I hope to have some good reesults soon, as at this stage things look quite positive.

I am aware that there are a couple of Hellingly reports that do not have any commentary, some that appear on other websites(!) and a couple that are several months behind schedule and still under construction. We haven't given up, though, so please bear with us. It is coming together gradually - maybe not in any kind of logical order, but if we see it, photograph it and intend to report on it, then it will be done. We will get there!!

GHOST-TRAINS
The focus of my attention in the last 6 months has veered towards the ghost-of website and I have sadly neglected ghost-trains. In the coming months, I will be revisiting my original website and revamping/ improving things, simplifying other things and trying to put right all the things I found in a recent fault finding exercise that weren't 100%. As a result, you may notice little subtle changes and additions (if not anything huge or mindblowing). Again, if anyone notices anything which could do with some improvement or isn't working, please let me know as this is a vast website and I frequently miss things.

GENERAL
Following a lot of problems with the message tablet on the majority of ghost-of & ghost-trains pages, I am currently in the process of looking into alternative means of contacting us. My HTML skills aren't excellent, but I am trying hard to come up with a fix for this from within the Dreamweaver package, so as soon as something comes to light, I will float the idea and see how people get on with it. If I cannot build such a thing myself, I may just go to Brandon Fisher and see what's available with them. I am desperately trying to keep the cost of this project to a minimum, so have to program modules myself or utilise freebies!
**********
I am looking at present into the possibility of setting up ghost-of and ghost-trains as an Urbex Forum, similar in design to TotallyHaunted and 28DaysLater.co.uk. A forum platform has been set up and programmed and I will be recreating the ghost-of and ghost-trains home pages to incorporate a link to the forum as a major first choice on both sites, in order to make it easier for members to upload their own reports on places.
**********
Fault finding is ongoing at present and little changes are taking place across the board. The most urgent change required is that the "Contact Us" buttons don't always work now because I have a new Email centre in use. This will be rectified ASAP.
**********
Following the provision of the 3D viewer link using Photovista 3.0, I will shortly embark on compiling a library of Panoramic images to be used with this, allowing potential users the chance to see the locations we have visited in 3, as though they were actually there. This will take a lot of time and programming and will be ongoing over the next few months, given that there are a good many locations and an average of 20 pans for each location.
