chamber

Visited a few weeks ago with an American Friend who came down to attend a car show. I then took him for what any good friend would do. The most nerdy four days of "Sight Seeing"; including going into London on a 1938 Stock Tube Train, visiting Battersea Power Station (and when he said "It's a...

The History: I won't go into great detail about the history as it is very well documented elsewhere. The National Gas Establishment Pyestock was a branch facility serving the Royal Aircraft Establishment down the road at Farnborough. It was the UK's primary site for the design and development...

Absolutely love this building as it still has lots of its original 60's features although some areas appear to have been refurbished in the early 2000's. Entry was very easy as there were open windows and an open door.

River Fleet sewer (overflow chamber) Hello, about 2 years i looked a some enter to a river Fleet sewer and this is my first visit with a camera to film some video.

Had seen this pop up a couple of times from friends so decided to give it a look whilst in Scotland. Done a solo visit on the way home. The building was originally a high school for the city, it closed in 1968 when the school moved to bigger and newer premises. After the move they built a...

I wasn't expecting it to be such a 'walk in' but on a low tide, Col (one of the easy to please Geordie lads that enjoyed Aberdeen Darkie with me and a few others last year) and I did just that - well stooped for 30 seconds through 6' wide x 4' 'high' concrete pipe until we got to the grill I was...

Text stolen from my blog. Pyestock. A name that still echoes with many explorers. It was over ten years ago that we first visited and it was during our penultimate visit that we sat atop the Bramshott cooling towers at night looking towards the then still-in-use Noise Test facility, wondering...

Nothin' special, but probably worth sharing. This document gives a nice little insight into the construction and history of Aberdeens sewer network. There's a map at the bottom which shows what's where. I wasn't expecting it to be such a 'walk in' but on a low tide, Col (one of the easy to...

This had been on my wish-list for a while due to the unusual nature of the building. The lack of sound inside was rather special. Quite tricky to photograph. Evidences of some demo work. Def worth going if you are nearby. It's a total walk-in. Trying my best here to do a few different angles but...

"Everyone needs a good slice of Pyestock"... And I couldn't agree more! For a good few weeks, @Olkka and I had been planning something on a miniature road trip to Pyestock, and with a somewhat considerable amount of chopping and changing to our provisional dates, we finally followed through...

I have had a good few months exploring so have quite a backlog of pics accumulating so thought Id start with this one. This place is quite baffling (u will laugh later)but is interesting. I kinda missed the boat on this one as most of the infamous Prystock is now gone, but the Anechoic Chamber...

History The National Gas Turbine Establishment, part of the royal aircraft establishment was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine development team run by...

Didn't get the oppurtunity to get the tripod out so only took a couple of photos, I consider this more an update than a report... History For over fifty years, Pyestock was host to the development and testing of gas turbine engines. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, it was the largest...

For those lucky enough to have experienced Pyestock in its entirely before its demolition, I am unbelievably jealous. For me, I was two years too late and missed it completely. However as some of you know, there is one bit of Pyestock that still remains, the Anechoic Noise testing Chamber. It's...

The "William Lindley chamber" was built in the year + / - 1925. Is located under one of the largest railway stations in ŁÃ³dź. What distinguishes it from other Lodz chambers? Memorial plaques inside, spiral staircase to her and quite interesting flap:
