From Derek Watt:
The Backside Gang is happy to welcome a new contributor: Derek Watt. Derek recently explored Massachusetts' Naval Air Station South Weymouth, which was in operation from 1942 until 1997, when it was decommissioned. All of his shots were taken with 35mm..
(At one point, I believe there were 2 (or more) hangars.)
(This air tower is one of two at the site -- the older one.)
(The basketball hoop is located next to the air tower, presumably for the service personnel to use for recreation?)
In July 2015, a developer announced plans to combine housing, restaurants, businesses, a sports complex and a movie studio (in the hangar) on part of the old base, which spans the towns of Abington, Rockland and Weymouth.
Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteThose are great! Derek has an outstanding body of work from the Medfield State Hospital as well. Most certainly stunning work worth checking out. Three thumbs up!
