concrete

Hello all, not posted in a while, life has its ways of catching up and before you know it, months have passed by. I have a list of places I want to visit, so will be posting more soon. I know these Barges have been done before so i won't sugar coat them. Lymm Ferro-Concrete Barges were...

Took a trip down the Meersbrook Stoopatron after a few members recommended it. Cheers to those who pointed me in this direction as it was definitely my favourite Sheffield brook so far. Started at Cat Lane Woods and followed the brook down to where it meets the Sheaf. Seems like the right way...

Wotton-under-Edge BT Tower, Gloucestershire Climbed in the excellent company of @WhoDerpsWins The tower is just over 76m, or 250 ft, high. As with the other towers built in this style, it's made of reinforced concrete known as the 'Chilterns' design. As far as I can tell, it started operating...

You may have heard about various world war war 2 concrete barges that were dotted about, there are 16 of these along the Thames in Rainham, however there is also a solo barge we read about that appeared to be beached in the middle of a field near a marina so we had to check it out :) - Credit to...

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...

Abutting the banks of the Thames, resident there for the past 68 years, is a very special concrete barge. Launched in 1918 at Brentford, it was THE first completed of the concrete ships built in WW1 in response to the loss of merchant shipping due to the UBoat campaign combined with an acute...

Where I live now, there’s a strange looking ship in the middle of our Marina. After a bit of research I discovered that it was the last surviving, floating British concrete ship built during WW1…I discovered that she was part of a sizeable fleet and curiosity got the better of me. Two years and...

Hi looking for a little help on finding a concrete query in South Wales any help in the right direction etc thanks

Apologies for the picture quality, but I took these nearly nine-and-a-bit years ago with what was then cutting-edge phone camera technology! - My old high school, just before it was demolished:

Hey folks, this is my first post on here, tho I've been an UrbEx-er for a good few years ;) Until about 9 years ago this used to be my head office ...drove past it a few weeks back, only to find it in the process of being demolished. Well, I couldn't miss the opportunity to "find" a way in to...

this was a fun little explore today for me and miss mayhem and we needed a win after several fails and a dog scaring us off. it isn't a huge place but I feel another report is due as is has deteriorated a bit since the last reports. as noted in the previous reports I couldn't find any info at...

We spotted this on our way to Sileby maltings a few months ago. There's not much left, but it's an interesting bit of history. Visited with Eeka and a non-member in May, and then with King Mongoose a couple of weeks ago. John Ellis was a member of the Leicester Quaker Ellis family who...

I don't know a right lot about this place, except it was a relatively small industrial operation making concrete products. A few scratches from the barbed wire, but the signs advertising guard dog patrols didn't live upto their promises :( Office Boarded up 3 Green bottles...

This site was set up as a pre-cast concrete factory in the 1960s and then converted to a batching plant in 1989. Since then it has had a patchy existence with a history of failed planning applications and planning enforcement actions. Right now it is abandoned, the most recent activity...

Foxon bros made concrete products ,opened in 1976 and closed a couple of years ago ,not a lot to see but the site is in surprisingly good condition with very little damage visited with explorer dog binky
