For decades, mink were kept in wire cages at Elland mink farm, bred for the fur trade.
But in August 1997 activists broke in and set the animals free.
In the 18 years since, the farm has lain abandoned and overgrown, its only visitors wild animals, walkers and curious explorers.
Photographer Deborah Smyth went to the farm to see how it looks today.
She said: "Like a lot of abandoned places the mink farm has a strange, rather eerie feel to it.
"For me anywhere that something was kept against its will is always going to have a melancholy atmosphere and this place is no exception.
"Whilst I know the barbed wire was in fact to keep thieves out it feels now very much as if it was also to keep the mink in.
"The mink were kept in small cages, a row down either side of the 50-foot long sheds, of which there are about 12.
"The sheds are now falling down and overgrown and this only adds to how strange the how place feels. The barbed wire is everywhere."
