Hiya, im new to this but wanting to get into some exploring- this is all a bit of me. im from Leeds so shout me if you wanna connect, or have any advice. Im all ears :)

Fort Crosby, a hidden coastal bunker between Crosby Beach and Hightown, has transformed from a First and Second World War defence site into an uncurated gallery of graffiti and street art. Inside its dim corridors, layers of tags, symbols and striking stencil portraits—featuring icons like Amy...

So, I’ve recently started dabbling in a bit of drawing again, and I’ve decided I actually want to learn it properly this time, get stuck into the fundamentals. Lighting, colour theory, anatomy, perspective… all the good stuff. I’ve done art in the past, but this time I want to understand what...

Tooth & Co ‘Bretby Art Pottery’ Swadlincote, Derbyshire - September 2024 Bretby Art Pottery began producing ceramics at this site in 1885 on what was previously a brick yard operated by the Woodville Company. The business was set up by Henry Tooth, an artist and former manager and the...

For those interested in the landscape and heritage of Stockport, the Art Gallery has an exhibition coming up with some very interesting images compiled by a local artist. She has a unique way of portraying the landscape and it's fascinating to work out the standpoint...

Never thought I'd get a chance to get in here, but decided to take a look and acess was unbelievablely easy considering. There was alarms going off, but I'm not the type to run away, had an hour in there and no one came. Was quite a nice causal stroll around the college, most of the rooms were...

Dairy Crest factory at Torrington Devon November 2020, a very interesting set of buildings abandoned since 1993. Love some the graffiti in there, some real talent. Next time I visit I’ll put the drone up and maybe explore more of the place.

The college was built in the 1960s and consisted of a six storey high main building and Grade II listed Archery villas . The Archery Villas, designed by Decimus Burton, have been used for educational purposes since 1861. It was used by the Art department of Hastings College until 2006...

I made a friend recently who is a street artist and we've had some long conversations about street art in abandoned buildings. I am in the "leave it as you found it" kind of camp here, but that said I have seen some pretty unremarkable places transformed by art (a newly-derelict office building...

History and Stuff It might pay to research my location histories before I explore. The baths were closed in 2006 after a structural survey found that something put the public at risk. I slid down the roof on my arse, so I hope it wasn’t that. Not least because my arse could cause structural...

In 1915 Burton corporation opened a municipal museum and art gallery in a building designed by Henry Beck of Burton on the site of the former police station at the corner of Station Street and Guild Street. The nucleus of the museum was the collection of artefacts belonging to the...

This is a thread to share any impressive artwork you've come across inside abandoned buildings. Graffiti, street art or whatever you want to call it isn't always to everyone's taste and it can be an annoyance when done in the wrong place. At other times though it can really bring a place to life...

The public bath, constructed in the style of Art Nouveau, consists of three pools (two for men, one for women). Additionally, it had several showers, steam- and public baths and even an own bath for dogs. It was opened in 1914 after a construction time of three years (1911 - 1913). In the same...

Site visited with non member on a depressingly grey January day. This was a bit of a nostalgic one for me, as I studied here for two years after leaving school. To see it totally ripped apart was actually slightly sad, and I'm annoyed that I didn't know it'd closed and missed out on seeing...

Did some research and found this, wasn't expecting the site to be this big and a lot was dark. Again all I was equipped with was my phone. The site is a wreck, but if your family has gone to the beach and, like me, you hate sand, slip off for an hour or two to this place, it'll surprise you...
