Hello everyone, I mainly go by Void, but also Hollow, or just Noah. I’m new to this forum and thrilled to have a place to share this addicting, pumping hobby. Currently based in Coalville, Leicestershire, and keen to get to know people and places around me. I’ve been fascinated by urbex for a...

Been a while since I posted, went on my first explore of the year on Sunday, 4th attempt at this one as its down the road and finally got in! Took Mini StolenMonkey on his first proper explore, unfortunately we were time limited so didn't get to give the place the time it deserves. The Picture...

Only a quick report this time.. A few from my last visit to Coalville. I spotted this whilst driving and thought it would be rude not to stop. Photos only taken on my phone so a bit pants... What do I already know? This is a large 3 storey stone and brick building that was built in the 60’s...

HISTORY Originally a Co-op Bakery, built in the 60’s. In the early 90’s, Co-op sold the building to a new business called Belvoir foods Ltd. In 2007, Tulip Ltd bought Belvoir Bacon Ltd and moved the business to Bardon Industrial Estate. Soon after, TS Bloors briefly used the ground floor...

Not posted a report for a long, long time. Purely down to not getting out, but this is basically in my back yard so no excuse. Well, one excuse - the dog was with me, so couldn't venture too far. Heras etc. So it's a pretty short one, until I get there on my own and have a proper wander. Not...

Thought I had little excuse but to have a look around this one, it's practically in my back garden. Had the dog with me so couldn't venture past heras etc. Will stick a proper report up when I have a full look. Main Colliery Headstock And rolling stock This is actually from the main...

Pic heavy!! Explored with AndrewB at the crack of dawn, which seemed the key to getting into the site unnoticed, at least at that time as the access was pretty 'public'! This was from the same rare breed of industrial sites as Tone Mills and Cranes Foundry, the pretty much untouched time...

the demolition men have moved in so a look round was in order. Sad sight really another factory gone forever, looks like some pricks have tried to set the place on fire in the past. Visited with explorer dog Binky...

This is one site that i dont mind admitting has pissed me off for a long time roll back to 2010 and a lead came up on here from a lad in coalville emails sent and we went and had a look, We walked around the back and noticed the ground floor was being used for storage or offices so away we walk...

Mitchell Grieves of Coalville Leicestershire made knitting needles for industrial knitting machines. I went to visit this site a few months ago but cannot enter the building has it was all secure. Revisited the site today and the demolition has started. It's a very large factory. I cannot...

I somtimes wonder when the steady stream of these simply sublime manufacturing sites will dry up! This one will go into the list of all time 'derelict manufacturing' greats for sure! Donkins, Cellophane, Cranes, BUSM, Grieves etc! Grieve's has been a little project of ours for about 6 months...
