Oh man, I've been waiting a weird while to post this. Usually when it comes to explores I'd find something on here or other websites to go check out, but this one was shown to me by a friend in the local area who'd known about this place for a while. I first explored this site in 2018, and...
2nd Post for me. This one I have also know about as a kid we used to play in wood by the water treatment plant.
Olives Paper Mill
Olives Paper Mill was an extensive paper mill established between 1844 and 1893, with previous usage prior to this as a bleach works.
The site was situated at the...
I had known about this mill for a while, but always knowing it's well sealed I ain't took much notice of it till KPurban messaged me asking if I knew about it and that sort of jogged the memory. Funnily enough I was that way at the weekend I thought I would stop by for a look and even take an...
We had a mooch to this while out walking old canals around our area. We were considering sticking this in general photo's but really liked it so thought we'd do a short report. It's a great little bit of industrial revolution and canal history.
The Mount Scion Steam Crane is grade 2 listed and...
Visited this place one evening with the usual two friends. A nice relaxed wander around here and quite nice. With two virtually identical court rooms. A cell block down below, but the cells were tight and pitch black and really hard to get shots off. And time was pushing on.
After the original...
Tetrosyl Bevis Green Works
Really enjoyed this pre-lockdown mooch with @UrbandonedTeam. Having spent the last few days go through all my photos and footage, it was nice to take myself back to the explore one evening in March. Accessing the site was no issue including all buildings on the land...
Tetrosyl Headquarters
This Victorian property was formerly Walmersley Dye Works before it was taken over by Tetrosyl in the 1960s. The company was founded within Bury and Rochdale, and the CEO shows passion to keep a part of the now international brand where it started. Tetrosyl is the...
Cheers to @Camera Shy and @host for the heads up with this one. We had to wait a while while the lockdown ran its course but it made for a pretty cool place to break the exploring fast as it were. I think this is one of those places that only people like me and @dweeb would really enjoy that...
Former Shire Hall, was rebuilt to the designs of Archie Ainsworth-Hunt, the county architect, in the Edwardia Baroque style between 1906 and 1907. St Margaret's House, another 18th century building was subsequently incorporated into the complex.
Rebuilt around 1750 and remodelled in the...
So here goes another blast from the past.
Maybe a first explore as i cant find any other reports on the place or much information at all to be honest. Please point me in the right direction if you know something i don't.
Enjoy.
History: (Patchy)
Woodhouse Mill / Tack lea works is not to be...
Situated on the bank of the Woodhill Brook in Bury is the outfall of this CSO.
It is only about a 5 metre walk through the square concrete outfall pipe to the overflow chamber, which is just as well as the air quality inside is pretty poor & I had to nip out a couple of times to get some...
Beyton All Saints
It was a bit naughty this one, sneaking about in a small, live, religious building. “Goodness” knows what I’d have said if someone had come in and looked up. Well I wasn’t after lead and if I’d have asked to go up they’d have probably let me…..but where’s the fun in that! I...
Beyton ROC Post
This is my first and will probably be my last ROC Post post and I’m only really sharing it as I’ve not seen photos of it online before. They’re not usually my thing but I heard about it maybe five years ago and when I went for a look and when found it locked I was intrigued...
I don’t really know much about the place but it closed about 2012 and then it seemed like somebody was starting work to renovate it but then nothing ever happened. This pub isn’t actually far from mine so I thought I would check it out. With incredibly easy access aswell. Apologies for poor...
Gonna be putting my videos and reports in the same thing now because it is easier for me, and no one gets pranked if they wish to just see the video, or just see the pictures and history. Find the video at the bottom :)
The Day
Had lots of spots planned for Bury as it seemed there was more here...
