Path to the past

Today I go to the old town again. Many buildings of the 19th century have been preserved here. Hope to find something interesting. Anyway, I want to find evidence of the past.

In the last century, there were shopping arcades and warehouses here. The houses are under state protection, they are architectural monuments.

I want to enter the courtyard. There I will surely find old premises

Nobody has lived here for a long time. The old bell and lantern are witnesses to this.

As I thought, there were some kind of storehouses here.

Preserved electrical wiring. Most likely, there is a watchman who is watching the territory.

Brickwork is almost destroyed in places.
I'm not surprised, almost 200 years have passed.

Here are the traces of time, I found an old forged nail in the wall.

Nobody has used this gate for a long time either, I think for a dozen years, for sure

But you can still go further.
There is a kind of wooden annex here. And the door is open there. I decided to drop by.

Only a wooden staircase to the second floor. Obviously there is a watchman here.

I decided to go back. To be honest, it is somehow alarming in such remote places. I'm not a very brave researcher)

Still, it turned out to explore a small corner of the century before last. Therefore, I will consider the walk successful.
