Hidden in the rock of the Avon Gorge is this now-abandoned funicular railway. It once connected Clifton and the Grand Spa Hotel to the tramway and ferry station at the bottom of the Avon Gorge. To avoid spoiling the view of the cliffside an underground railway was proposed. On the 11th March 1893 the water-powered funicular opened its doors.

https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-kosovo-church-of-christ-the-saviour-pristina/ This unfinished Serbian Orthodox Church sits in the heart of the city of Pristina, within the campus of the University of Pristina. Construction began in 1992 and was due to be finished in 1999, but its completion was slowed by lack of funds and the deteriorating security situation in the country, before finally being interrupted by the Kosovo war. Today the ornate shell is patrolled by a squadron of friendly stray dogs, its doors bolted shut, with weeds and litter surrounding what could have been a symbol of Serbian rule in the heart of Kosovo. Instead the abandoned project stands as a symbol of the complex and unresolved dispute between the Serbs and Kosovars. A church on this site was first planned in 1973, however when Serbia took direct control of Kosovo (which had been an autonomous Yugoslavian state) the land was given to the Serbian Orthodox Church. A new plan was drawn up on the disputed land, with 1389 golden crosses- a reference to the Battle of Kosovo, which Serbians claim is an important event in their history, tradition, and national identity. Alongside other forms of enforced serbisation (the spread of Serbian culture, people and language), the foundations for this Serbian nationalist symbol were laid at the very same time as Albanian students and professors were being expelled from the university buildings, in 1992. The controversial external structure was completed in 1998. Read more at https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-kosovo-church-of-christ-the-saviour-pristina/
