Unearth
BTP is school friends’ Joe and Liam’s passion project to research and document hidden history and exclusive places. We bring the past into present with our professional documentaries and photography.
Explore
Our goal is to record the overlooked and neglected parts of local heritage. We hope to peel back the layers and reveal what remains of the past, in the corners of our surroundings which constantly change and disappear.
Enlighten
As young adults we are keen to both inspire new interest in our historic environment, and provide a dedicated long-term resource for researchers. Our site has been online for 14 years and will continue to grow.
Welcome Beyond the Point. We’re an award-winning passion project dedicated to recording overlooked built heritage through visual media. Our mission is to record surviving disappearing structures for posterity through high-quality architectural photography and documentary-making. Established as a blog in 2011, it has evolved into a visual archive of over 400 historic sites, ranging from Victorian asylums to military defences and abandoned factories. Based in south Essex, our local history is our initial focus, although we also examine sites further afield with their own unique stories, often revealing how present communities and environments are shaped.
