Abandoned Engineering: Hell’s Waiting Room (U&Yesterday, Friday, 2 May, 2025)

Abandoned Engineering

There’s a certain fascination with forgotten places, the structures left behind that whisper stories of the past. “Abandoned Engineering” returns this Friday with “Hell’s Waiting Room,” an exploration of two sites with dark and powerful histories.

This episode travels to the Czech Republic to examine the remnants of a concentration camp, a place with a chilling story complicated further by its use in a propaganda stunt. The episode also visits a bleak institution with a completely different tale tied to it: playwright Oscar Wilde was once confined within its walls. The powerful stories of the buildings now deserted are brought to the forefront.
