    Report - HFB Blast Furnace, Belgium - November 2022 - Demolition Progress

    Hello :) I've been interested in abandoned places for a long time and have built up quite a collection of visits, but this is my first post on 28DL. I know this place has been covered a lot but I felt like I had to write something as it is sadly being torn down as we speak. So here's a run...

    Information - Redcar Blast Furnace Demolition

    For those that may be interested, this would be a real spectical from the South Gare (probably have to go the night before they'll likely close that road), sad, but inevitable. If anyone goes please share photos/videos etc. as I sadly can't make it.

    Report - Red Alert at Redcar (Teeside steelworks 2019)

    This is the first Report in a very long time, it seems anything I once uploaded has since been lost. Pictures are not wonderful, hopefully the story will excuse them to a degree and you might glean a sliver of wisdom, if you choose to make a visit to the Steelworks. To kick off, I will...

    Report - Steelworks and Blast Furnace, Charleroi - Belgium - July 2019

    This end of the site it well underway in terms of demolition. I didn't dare going up this blast furnace, as given great chunks were missing, things could be a little more unstable. I wasn't expecting to see the big building with the trains. These large wagons were used to move away the slurry...

During the...

    I visited HF6 on an epic trip last year with @Wevsky, @extreme_ironing, @obscurity and @Monkey. I'd forgotten about it until someone mentioned today that it's currently being demolished so I decided to dig out my pictures. On this day Wevsky faced his fear of heights and we all had a go at...

    Wasn't sure whether to post a report from here or not. My photos aren't all that, but it was a pretty fun night so here's my take on it. All these are hand held shots, I may go back and take some proper ones at some point, but for me it was more about seeing the place than photographing it...
