I just get wrapped up warm, make sure my shoes are comfy and set off walking. In Sheffield and probably many other cities, the dereliction is often not far from the city centre as these parts are often the oldest.

Come to Liverpool.
There's still plenty here, too!
Although a lot (in the city centre) are getting refurbished.

Just a case of wearing out the shoe leather...or, as most of my photos seem to happen, seen from the tram or bus window and I have to get off at the next stop and backtrack to find it.

I love to look at old maps & do research to find well hidden places like this one flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/486314567/

Best way to spot them in our neck of North America, is during the winter, when the foliage is leafless and we just drive around looking for places roads USED to go, or dead ends that used to cross creeks, rivers, etc. but which due to floods have never been rebuilt. More often than not, you spot them. Remember, if the roads are old; the houses are old and the oldest ones have the most abandoned on them.

I find them when I am looking for known historic places or I just get in my car and drive. Usually older parts or lower income areas of town are the best places.

find the railroad tracks in any town in america. they're almost sure to lead you to the oldest or most rundown parts of town. or follow the 2 lane roads like highway 40 or route 66.

Occasionally I see them in my travels, but most of the time, I deliberately hunt 'em down. :-)

Driving around industrial areas. Google earth is good - try following train tracks. Friends and graffiti artists.

The way it was in Ireland, you could just walk out on the street, walk ten yards in any direction and you'd find one. It's getting much more difficult to find them now, but certain ares of cities here still have plenty of them.

The more deprived areas of the UK have derelict buildings; The likes of Burnley, Salford and parts of Liverpool have whole streets which are laid to rot.
Try Housing Market Renewal Areas!

Blackburn with Darwen is a virtual derelict site. Except of course the new multiplex bowling centre and the mcdonalds. Bolton has loads too. Though I prefer to manipulate my images of new, modern housing or works, with sudden, looking abandonment.

I could literally list hundreds off the top of my head, but not a single one that you can actually get inside. All the ones I know of in Liverpool and North Wales are all boarded up or bricked up!

It really depends on where you live. In the US if you live east of Chicago and north of the Mason-Dixon line especially in the heart of the northeast and around Detroit you would have a field day.
However if your in a growing area or an area that is economically growing you have to do a lot of hunting around. I currently live in Salt Lake City and I have to hunt around a lot to find places. However, I could travel a couple of hours away and there is towns like Wells, Nevada that had plenty (although Wells had a 6.0 earthquake earlier in the week that leveled many of the old buildings or seriously damaged them).
There out there you just may have to look really really hard depending on your area.

In Ohio, you can't drive 20 minutes without seeing at least one. My friends and I visited 8 that we knew about in our area, and thought we had run out. Then I went on a road trip with my family, and within the first 15 minutes of driving, I spotted 5 more. I'd recommend driving around a little bit next time you have some free time...go on roads that you rarely drive on, or have never driven on. This is where you'll find gems.

I just wander about, and bump into them almost everywhere I go. It's quite hard to find a town or city in britain that doesn't have a derelict or abandoned building of some sort.

Usually by chance. I go to a place and have a look around, there is nearly always at least one abandoned building in a town!

I go to parts of town known to contain a lot of old, western buildings (e.g. the Bund area). More often than not, there are quite a few abandoned buildings. I once passed the former Shanghai Club building. Completely abandoned, and seemingly completely unchanged from the pre-1949 days: grand marble staircase, cast iron doorway, ornate ballustrades, chandeliers... all dirty and decaying. I want to go in there one day.
