Beyond the Point is a non-profit award-winning organisation by Joe Mander-Rigby and Liam Heatherson. Our mission is to record overlooked built heritage and disappearing structures in the changing landscape through professional-standard photography and film-making, developed over years of experience. We were established in 2011 as an Essex-based local history blog, and have since evolved into an ever-growing online resource of over 400 historic sites, with over a thousand more in our archives. These sites include churches, farms, fortifications, bunkers, hospitals, asylums, military bases, factories, power stations, pumping stations, houses, schools and civic buildings across Britain. Not only do we examine individual places, we also explore wider themes and the historical context surrounding them to tell stories about how communities and environments have developed. We have supported numerous community organisations and projects over the years, and have worked with respected national names in media and heritage. Find out more here…
