A small junkyard with over 200+ buses to explore. Located in cudworth- South Yorkshire. After a hell of a hike through fields and brambles I sought out this location as I’d seen it recommended by another popular urban explorer. There’s a variety of different buses, coaches, diggers and overall...

1. The History Located in Badger Wood, close to Hood Green, near Barnsley, Wentworth Silkstone mine first opened in June 1911 under the ownership of Wentworth Silkstone Collieries Ltd. Previously coal had been extracted from the site through Coopers Wentworth pit when shafts were sunk in 1856 to...

April 2024 The Visit Did this one as a sole visit whilst in the Steele city, its been done a thousand times and I certainly missed it in its prime back in the day but I just couldn't resist the temptation to explore this place. I spent about an hour wandering around the now fairly dilapidated...

Introduction I’m aware this has been visited and posted numerous times on the forum, but this is a much-loved site amongst the community so I thought it would be worth sharing my stance on the place, albeit a bit late to the party. History Founded in 1836, George Barnsley & Sons Ltd...

WONDERLAND | FPV Going down the rabbit hole into this incredible factory lost in time. Really felt like something out of Alice in wonderland going throuh that hole, from a modern graf factory into something thats been frozen and nature has taken over. Been in this location many many years ago...

A Sheffield classic, many reports but here’s my take! The explore: Been eyeing this place up for a couple years now, and having narrowly missed an opportunity for access last year, I was determined to get in! When an opportunity did arise over the weekend, my expectations were definitely...

Last year we decided to visit or revisit some of the last remaining traditional industrial spots. We ticked off Bass maltings, Chatterley, Bardney sugar and Shoreham cement. We were going to revisit tonedale mill and dye house, but they were shuttering up the mill. And the dye house looks heavy...

Some yoinked history; Solo visit on a very rainy, gloomy weekday evening. The place is in pretty rough shape nowadays, but despite the condition and the gloom and rain it was good to finally see first-hand why it’s so revered amongst others and a superb two hour explore...

Continuing with the old posts - twas mid week in October and I'd finished by 1pm that day and holed up in Chesterfield. A quick ring to Silversteath and an hour later I've nailed it up the M1 to Sheffield. I'm meeting him, Dan, Trousercowboy, RAndy, Mexico75, Esposa and some local chap called...

This is the former Barnsley British Cooperative Society flour mill which stands on the north side of the River Don Navigation close to the Church of St John the Baptist. It started off as the "Don Roller Mills". It was owned by James White who sold it to the Barnsley British Cooperative Society...

I spotted the outfall whilst driving by one day and returned when I had more time. Whilst I was waiting at a red light to park up a car drove straight in to the back of me and I'm still suffering from back pain today! Once details were swapped I was undeterred and made my way in to the River...

After visiting a different location in the city we got a tip off from others about a possible entry point so decided to take a look. Having assessed the building for security we made our way to the entry point. The building is situated in the Neepsend area of the city and forms part of Kelham...

One from earlier in the year. This had been on the list for a while and I was really happy to finally see the place. There was some graff and vandalism in evidence when we went, I believe it's even worst now. Visited with non member Paul. HISTORY George Barnsley & Sons Ltd was founded in...
