Are there any abandoned estates, factories, shopping centres or other modern ruins near you? We want to explore some of the UK's abandoned places – wastelands that were once humming with life but are now untended and unloved. Please share your photos of these modern ruins – anything built in the 20th century – and explain what the place used to be. Please make sure you tell us where the place is – and if you know why it has been abandoned, we would love to know.

We hope to write an article featuring the 10 most interesting places you tell us about, and to examine the reasons they have been neglected.
