Hi, I am looking for people to explore with from Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Lincolnshire, etc.. I am happy to drive and do not mind going quite far. Probably a maximum of two hours each way. I am fairly...

Wilden is a small Bedfordshire village, the sort of place that has held onto its character for centuries. Alongside its parish church, it also had a Nonconformist tradition, reflected in this Baptist chapel. It is no longer in regular use, but the building remains, carrying with it a sense of...

I know this one has been covered quite a bit, but not being able to get out as much as I’d like, thought I’d share it. History The school was closed when the authority changed from a three-tier educational system (infant or junior, middle and upper) to a two-tier system (primary and...

History - Taken from a newspaper article:- Located a few miles from the Cambridgeshire border is Thurleigh, a quiet village that became home to an RAF base in the Second World War. RAF Thurleigh, built in 1941, was used by the RAF before being handed over to the United States Army Air Force...

July 2024 Visited with @Mr Budge and @Tobin, I wasn't quite sure what to anticipate, having only come across a handful of reports from years past. The structure is beginning to exhibit signs of neglect, with multiple rooms, including the control room, showing clear evidence of dampness. In...

Introduction RAE Bedford has always been on the bucket list for me. Ever since I saw photos back in 2017 it is one I have always wanted to do but never thought I would ever get there or do it successfully, but we finally managed it in the end! I first tried it back in 2019 but couldn’t find an...

I've engaged in this hobby on and off for years, but it's been more off than on recently, I'm keen to get back out and put the exploring shoes back on! So of course, I've been looking through some old derps and this place really was one of my favorites, so wanted to get a report up, even if my...

This was a roadside spot and after a search on google when I got home discovered it was Wren Park nursing home, the majority of the site was now demolished however the house was still remaining. Wren park looked after patients with dementia, sensory disorders and younger adults under 65. The...

Introduction I’ve visited this tunnel a handful of times but have never actually taken any proper photos here. I had a free Saturday and it’s less than two hours from me so I decided to revisit, in addition to seeing what bits remain at Stewartby Brickworks nearby following the demolition of the...

Visited with Ella. We had a day planned in and around Bedford and failed each and every one of them apart from here. We did fail the control tower as we would need a ladder. The sun was setting and we were fed up failing so thought we would just take a look at these buildings on the far side...

Hi all. I am a long time lurker, first time reporter. I live 10 minutes from this site and have long thought about visiting. Since the site closed in 2008, some limited demolition and removal has taken place, but it was the recent demolition of the chimneys on 26th September that gave me the...

A bit of a mix bag of about 300 photos taken over a period of a few weeks. Obviously not going to post all 300, that would be mad but it is a bit pic heavy. Just to note that the gaps in the fences that have been there recently have been shored up with earth or massive trees etc so don't expect...
