North England Looking for wasteland with a crumbling building - any ideas?

[Erika Tanith]

I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne and currently have a music video/art film that's still only in treatment stage that I require a location for. The film is going to be very post-apocalyptic and begins with the protagonist following dark creepy figures across a blasted landscape and into a crumbling old building. It needs to be a decent space as I want to be able to put distance between the main character and the people he's following. I'm not too concerned about the type of building; it doesn't matter if it's a hanger, warehouse, bungalow, just a building that's obviously disused and falling apart.

Does anyone have any hints or tips for somewhere that might fit the bill?

I don't mind a bit of a drive, and I want to do this right and get all the correct clearances etc.

Thanks in advance!
