Urban Exploring Videos

Last night I explored the Cwm Coke Works factory in Beddau, South Wales. I made this short video about my exploration there which highlights the impressive scale of the place.

 

A few days ago, a sinkhole opened up on the main road a Bridehill, Consett, County Durham. I saw some picutres on line and decided to go photograph it myself. On examining the sinkhole, I saw what appeared to be an arch of a stone bridge below the ground. I quickly fetched my gopro, attached to my caving helmet and lowered it down into the abyss. The bridge used to cross a railway line that ran from Consett to Newcastle Upon Tyne, which is now the Derwent Walk. Enjoy the video and please consider subscribing. Video link below pictures.

 

See for yourself...

HISTORY:

Built as a private house, the building was used as a war hospital in the First World war, from 1938 was the home of the Actors' Orphanage for "destitute children of actors and actresses" and later became a nurses' training school for St Peter's Hospital
THE ONCE MAGNIFICENT ORPHANAGE THAT HAS BEEN LEFT TO ROT AFTER IMPRESSIVE 200 YEAR HISTORY
1814 - The original large country house was built by local brewer Robert Porter.
1820 - Silverlands was rebuilt by Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Hotham and Silverlands was the Hotham family home until around 1887. 1896 - The Actors' Orphanage was started by Kittie Carson at Croydon and was established as the Actors' Orphanage Fund in 1912. 1915 -

The orphanage moved to Langley Hall, Berkshire, and in 1934, Noël Coward became President of the charity 1938 - The charity moved its orphanage to Silverlands in Chertsey, Surrey. 1940 - The children living in the home were evacuated to the Edwin Gould Foundation in New York, USA. 1941 - Some of the buildings became a female nurse’s school for the nearby Botley Park Asylum and St Peter’s Hospital. 1945 - The children returned to Silverlands after the end of World War II. The orphanage ran alongside the nures's school.
1956 - Sir Laurence Olivier took over as President of the charity with Richard Attenborough as his Deputy.
1958 - The cost of major repairs needed to the building, the declining numbers of children at the home resulted in a decision to close Silverlands as an orphanage. 1990 - Silverlands Nursing School amalgamated with other schools of nursing to become the Francis Harrison College of nursing and midwifery. Late nineties - The probation service was looking at taking over Silverlands as a clinic for paedophiles.The proposals were met by strong opposition from local people who organised a candle lit vigil in protest. 2002 - The Ministry of Justice announced that Silverlands was no longer being considered for the clinic. Silverlands was built as a large country house in 1849 by local brewer Robert Porter in Chertsey, Surrey It was rebuilt by Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Hotham in 1820 and became the Hotham family home

The Actors' Orphanage, backed by Noel Coward, moved to Silverlands in 1938 and remained for 20 years The property was also used as a nursing school to train staff for a local hospital and nearby asylum In 2002 plans to turn the abandoned property into a clinic for paedophile were blocked by the local community It has remained empty ever since and these images show how the once grand building is rotting and decaying Large country house, later orphanage and finally nurses training school. Rebuilding of a house built by a local brewer Robert Porter after 1814 in the 1820s by Vice Admiral Sir Henry Hotham with circa 1845 and later C19 extensions and early C20 Classical style entrance lobby and library added probably by Sir John Brunner who lived here between 1907-8 and 1919.

Oreet folks
The other day I found a disused railway and decided to go for a walk along it for a bit and film it (my first urbex video) . It turns out it linked st helens to runcorn and widnes, known as 'the runcorn gap'

Here's abit of history.. (via Wikipedia)..
"St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway, later known as St Helens Railway, was an early railway company in Lancashire, England, which opened in 1833. It ran originally from the town of St Helens to the area which would later develop into the town of Widnes. Branches were opened to Garston, Warringtonand Rainford. The company was taken over by the London and North Western Railway in 1864. The line from St Helens to Widnes and the branch to Rainford are now closed, the latter terminating at the Pilkington Glass' Cowley Hill works siding near Gerard's Bridge, but part of the lines to Garston and to Warrington are still in operation.

Widnes Dock Junction and the flat crossing were causing problems of congestion and the LNWR dealt with this by building a deviation line of just under 1.5 miles (2 km) to the north of the original west-east line, crossing the line leading north to St Helens by a bridge. The deviation line was authorised on 5 July 1865 and opened on 1 November 1869. The line was connected to the St Helens and it included a new station for passengers. With the opening of the line from Weaver Junction across the Mersey on Runcorn Railway Bridgeto Ditton Junction, west of Widnes, the Garston extension became part of the Liverpool-London main line. Following the merger of most of Britain's railways into four private companies in 1923, the line from St Helens to Widnes became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). Large quantities of freight were carried on the line and the passenger train from St Helen's to Ditton Junction station was nicknamed the Ditton Dodger.[1
Following the end of the Second World Warpassenger traffic declined and the service provided by the Ditton Dodger ended on 16 June 1951. Freight traffic initially continued to be heavy but it declined during the 1960s. In 1969 the line north from Farnworth and Bold station was singled and in 1975 the line south of the station was also singled. The line closed to through traffic on 1 November 1981. The track has been lifted and some of the southern part of the route is occupied by Watkinson Way, a road providing an easterly bypass for Widnes and connecting the Silver Jubilee Bridge withthe M62 motorway. The base of the swing bridge which carried the railway over the canal is still present in Spike Island."
