Ashford Bobbin Mill One from the beginning of the year. Sadly, there's no access into the buildings but from what I've heard, the buildings are just now used as storage for a local fishing club. So it's just external photos. But I still really enjoyed it! History is hazy on this one, it...

Mining in this area of Derbyshire for marble can be traced back in history to the early 1500's, whats interesting though it that it isnt actually marble but instead an impure form of limestone that polished up to a beautiful black. True marbles have been metamorphosed (changed physically) by...

Visited this place with my two usual exploring friends. It was a nice relaxed visit and a very enjoyable one. Yeah the place is stripped bare virtually and a bit trashed, but not as trashed as I expected it too be. It's has some lovely decay in the front part in what use to be the workshops. And...

Up until 2005 this college was a well known research centre in the fields of rural business and management, biological sciences, environmental and agriculture. The college was formed in 1894 and was officially closed by its owner in 2009. Barely any vandalism due to the tight security...

I visited this place in 2014, so a while ago now... hence why the pictures are how they are:banghead. After an epic road trip up north, we returned to our hometown and had an opportunity for something we had been working on for a while. Exhausted from lack of sleep and driving many miles, we...

First report on here, and I am not a photographer, but enjoy the explore and like to take photos. This report is a little less factual, as I have not seen it on here. I was going to do a well known explore with long report, but opted for this as my first report. As a newbie, I thought Id share a...

Hey, So here's the first of many, Charter House. I believe built in the 1970's as an office block for various companies to use. Now converted into some shoddy apartments and flats. Scouted on a previous visit without a camera, then a return visit was in order, this time with @starlight as an...

They're building a nice new college on the ashford ring road (right by all the pollution emitting cars) and will be moving over in 2017. I've never been into the old site so no idea of their setup there (cctv etc) or how long it will be standing / monitoroed by security / whatever.. but at some...

Off to a good start this year! Swang by the old Frosts works that has been closed for a year or so after the company relocated and what do you know. Nice easy way in had opened up! This place was on the radar a long time before it closed, mainly because of an epic enamel sign that was still...
