bournemouth

Apologies for the brevity of this one, I spent most of the time I had trying to wrench the manhole open. The Boscombe Stream or Boscombe Bourne is a watercourse that rises from a spring beneath Bournemouth station's northern car park and flows east beneath Knyveton Gardens and Spencer Gardens...

looking for people around Bournemouth to trade locations with

Just a quickie to celebrate being somewhat back in the game! Bournemouth has been a hot spot for cinema exploring a for a few years now but I had never really put too much effort into getting into the ABC. It certainly seemed to be the lesser of the three available cinemas after being subjected...

im new to exploring and have a passion for photography on top of that. As summer arrives i wanted to finally start exploring. However all i see nowadays on social media is bs and can never find any actual places near me, anyone know of any good locations around the Poole/Bournemouth area. Any...

The ABC Westover, originally the Westover Super Cinema opened on the 19th June 1937. It was built for and operated by Associated British Cinemas (ABC), and was designed by their architect William Riddle Glen, featuring all the art deco flamboyance that one would expect of the period. The cinema...

Saying hi to all as a form of introduction. I'll be uploading a couple reports from the North Wales asylum in Denbigh and the mid Wales hospital in Talgarth soon; I was there not long ago and had a fantastic time. I've tried to access a few other sites in Wiltshire (mines/quarry's), but...

Hey, 19 y/r old sorta newbie here? I used to explore whenever possible in my early teens, stopped for a while but I’m looking to get back into it now that I have more freedom [and more of a developed brain] as an adult. i currently have experience with office and house type places. I’m really...

Meeting a m8 tomorrow half wayish between reading and Bournemouth and wanted to do some urban exploring on a site that's wont disappoint and still accessible. Thanks in advance

I had always written off bothering to explore the ABC, as it wasn't that exciting when it was open. But summer came, and I can never pass up on theatres and cinemas so I gave it a bash. The ABC Bournemouth was the very last ABC cinema in the country, and was kept going to distinguish it from...

I'm sure most of seen that recently some "youtubers" explored this place and living in the area and knowing about it for ages but not actually thinking you could get in we decided to go check this place out last night. Here is a brief history of it I found online: The Westover Super Cinema was...

So we had a little tip off about this place, and as it was close to home we thought we would check it out! Here's a little bit of history about the place... In 1860 Sir Richard Glyn took down the old church and replaced it with what is considered to be a fairly typical estate church. Built of...

Pictorial History: The Regent was designed by William Edward Trent, who was the in-house architect of Provincial Cinematograph Theatres (PCT). During the 1928 construction of the building, this company was taken over by Gaumont British Picture Corporation (PCT logos are present in the...

Probably a bit of a shit report this one for anyone that isn't local, but seeing the views from the roof might be interesting if you are. Anyway, saw it was having some sort of work done and the scaffold went all the way onto the roof so went and had a look about. Didn't have a tripod at that...

Sorry for the late posting of this, i had hoped to get back for a second look but ive had more important things to do lately! This theatre is one of a pair on Westover road that i have been waiting to have a crack at for what seems like forever. The closure of this and the ABC next door has...

So after spending some time in bournemouth one evening on a different adventure we came across this place by mistake. As we looked for access which was pretty easy given its current state we decided to go inside, it’s a shame this building is in such a state. But nether the less it still has...
