In the beginning of 2023, I had a chance encounter with one of the security guards looking after the now abandoned tax office in Llanishen. After finding out just how important the building was, I sought access and spent a few weekends walking around the empty corridors with my large format documenting the final state the building was in. Here is a selection of the images that I made whilst there.
