council

Former Wimborne District Council offices which were closed in 2016. The site is currently earmarked for sale and redevelopment. My visit was conducted in (month retracted) 2025. The Furzehill site is located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the center of Wimborne Minster. It consists of...

This one won't be to everyone's tastes, as office buildings are usually pretty bland. I do, however, quite like this one; it doesn't fall under the usual remit of being a 1960s brutalist structure, nor is it absolutely trashed due to vandalism. The building has an interesting hexagonal shape and...

Built in 1957, it's purpose was to service the Stanley moor Reservoir! Sadly there were serious leaks due to it's position over a fault line and it had to be decommissioned! So this pump house became redundant. I came across this two years ago after going to photograph something else nearby...

Built roughly in the 60s, this old council office building stands just behind the town hall after being left since from what people have said 90s maybe 2000s. A large portion of its interior has been ripped out to accommodate new flats which where supposed to be built inside the building by...

Maybe worth a look .. https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/fresh-plans-knock-down-ellesmere-27570221

There's not much history on this place other than it's the former offices of Wigan Council Education department which closed down in 2012 and that it was built on the site of a former convent. Although it's quite overlooked the access was straight forward and once inside there was evidence of...

A hardened nuclear bunker was included when the council offices were built in 1982. The design of the bunker is very similar to most that were built in the early 80s. The bunker forms part of the South East basement area of the council offices and is accessed by an external door and stairway...

I spotted this school earlier this year whilst travelling back through Wales following a work trip. It's located in a very prominent location when travelling past Carmarthen and looked very derelict, but it had a lovely old Victorian-era building at the front and I'm a real sucker for them in...

Radford Boulevard Council School is a former infant school built in 1887 and designed by renowned local architect and asylum virtuoso George Thomas Hine. There is also a large newer main hall extension built on to the inner courtyard area. Info on its school years are sketchy but it ended up...

Swung by here on my solo adventure around the north on a recent week off. Since leaving the south coast back in Feb I have been craving some underground stuff, so I was happy to be light painting something other than a boarded up section of a hospital for a change! Built below Tertowie House...

History: There isn’t too much history on this place as it’s just your average joe office building. Build sometime in the 1960’s and used until 2011 (from what I could gather). It has stood empty since and has now been purchased to build a retirement complex for the elderly. The place was one of...

A typical sixties office block in the middle of Northwich. It used to be County Council offices until 2010/11 and has been empty since. The building is now something of an eyesore and is due to be demolished. I stopped off here to eat my lunchtime sandwiches on the way to the Anderton Boat...

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...

Not alot inside but nice to explore somewhere that isn't vandalised. Quite a big building and was worth a wander round while i was in the area

I've always wanted to visit this site ever since reading about it on subbrit and seeing a handful of photos from when it was still in use, to my knowledge it's the only surviving local government fallout shelter near me and being right under the council offices I never thought I'd get to have a...
