So basically, we got in here in 2022 but then security upgraded, dogs, cameras - in short impossible to get in for a few years. Now in 2025, security have loosened up a bit and there are multiple holes around the site in the fence and ways to get into every building. The explore was phenomenal...

This place was fairly low down on my list of map markers. I didn't feel like it was good enough for a sole visit but after failing on another site, this one was along my homeward route so figured I'd pop in to have a look. History There isn't too much to say about this place. It was built in...

No history on this one appart from it's early 90's I believe

Hello everyone, I went to visit Cranebank on the weekend, I have an update for you all. You are now no longer able to get into the site. They have patched all holes in fences, put an extra proper metal fence with razor wire up, and some knock off armadillo cameras/sensors. Security doesn't seem...

British Steel / Corus / Tata So Im sitting thinking that there are very few industrial locations left now & maybe I should go fletchers with everyone else as it will soon no doubt be gone, but hang on this is 15min down the road & I (seemingly like everyone else) have overlooked it all my...

British Ind Plastics Havent seen much of this place so thought Id post. Another one we did a age ago which Id neglected to do anything with it but it was a nice little mooch. British Industrial Plastics is the oldest polymer material manufacturer in the UK, still in operation today...

Took a wander around Whitton Marine, Hoo. Aside from the WW2 Ferro-Concrete Barges there, I was able to step on to Violette, a concrete schooner built Faversham by James Pollock & Sons, designed by Walter Pollock himself. She was one of two, the other being called Molliette. Molliette, her...

British Airways Training Centre, London - June 2022 Wow, I knew I could get lazy; but 6 months! SIX MONTHS it has taken me to upload this report. I don’t know how time flies so fast, but it does. It really, really does. This was explored during the middle of our absolutely glorious summer...

One that I had walked round many times with no access over the years. But persistence paid off finally as this one time a fire opened, I think the building had been relieved of some copper. So off to get the camera and had a look inside the old department store that closed its doors in 2016 on...

Second visit here - the first thwarted with a tripod leg failure leading to a dead DSLR within 2mins of getting in which was rather annoying. Back for some photos a couple of months later. This place was huge and is the first time in a long time that I felt that large scale getting lost feeling...

I really got into reading about urbex, must be almost 20 years ago, when Bradley Garrett published his "thesis" (more like, diary of adventures!). Never actually managed to do any urbex sadly! My wife took me to this abandoned hotel the other day because she wanted to find plants for our garden...

An exploration I did in an old, abandoned train tunnel in 1876 in Nottingham. It was difficult finding this place, but I got there in the end and was very excited when I saw the entrance of the tunnel in the distance between some trees. It wasn’t an easy place to find, being in the middle of...

I think most people know abut this one but just incase here is a little bit of history :) History Cranebank once offered a course which allowed passengers to experience a simulated aircraft emergency situation. The half-day Flight Safety Awareness Course in London took place inside the...

History: Obviously an old training centre for British airways but also had a few other airlines set up in there. Looks like it’s been closed for a long time now maybe 5 years plus? Not the sort of place to have a history as such but il keep it quick! The Explore: Luckily I was working down this...

Intro These coaches had sat on the to-do list for quite some time now, mainly as I have never had the excuse to go so far north. Eventually a reason to visit eventually came to fruition on this occasion as they were on the way between two other spots. History The coaches here are all part of...
