Hi we’re looking for abandoned sites in County Durham to explore. We are urbexers who respect the sites we visit and do not leave a trace behind. We’d appreciate any small to large places to visit. Many Thanks.

This is Cefn Mably House, near Cardiff in South Wales, a wonderful derelict Welsh Manor House and former Tuberculosis Sanitorium. I want to show my love for this magnificent, faded beauty of a building which was cruelly destroyed by arsonists in 1994. Thank you to Brian (see him in one of the...

May 2025 This is a spot I’ve had my eye on for a while — I drive past it all the time, so it’s been on my radar. A few weeks ago, I finally found a way in. Unfortunately, I was swiftly followed by what felt like every kid in Winsford, and the place quickly turned into a makeshift crèche. I...

Castleside school An accidental find between two other sites while on a day trip exploring some of what the north east has to offer, the school seems to had been disused for an extended period of time, although was still maintained by the school that replacement directly adjacent to the site...

I've had relatives spend their twilight years here, as I'm sure a few of you with family from this next of the wood have had as well. Remember running up and down the stairs when I was a kid, much to the annoyance of staff and residents alike! Now, for the history: Shotley Park is a former...

Flicks taken around 2016 / 2017. Former County Hall in Ipswich town centre that has been abandoned for around two decades. Various plans have come forward to develop the site into flats. Currently the building is still undeveloped. This site is generally not accessible so don't travel far to try...

Visited this place on the way home from Scotland. It’s been around forever and an urged classic. Sadly it’s seen better days with severe deterioration and a large fire in the chapel. But I still liked it a lot, it still had a charm about it and you could still see nice features. Sadly I missed...

Me and my friends are looking for some places that are fairly easy to access and aren't too risky to explore as we haven't explored any abandoned buildings before. Any places fitting that description around here?

The history Built in 1895, money for construction of the school was supplied by local industrialist Sir Joseph Verdin, who - along with his family - were at the time owners of the largest salt manufacturers in the United Kingdom, producing over 300,000 tonnes annually, hence the Verdin name...

Note: So, after a discussion in the chat box this was my attempt at creating an AI-generated report to see what comedy value and actual capabilities AI has to offer, so please don't be fooled into thinking this is real (can't wait for someone to ask 'is this still there?'). I used Chat GPT for...

Had slayaa round for pizza last night and we were chatting about how long it had been since id done a report., then tonight was having a hard drive/sd card sort and found some pics from an explore me and the mrs went on with @The_Raw so thought fook it might aswell throw them up. I know its...

Verdin County Grammar School Built in 1895 and designed by Manchester architects Woodhouse & Willoughby in a striking ‘Netherlandish Renaissance’ style. Money for construction of the school was supplied by local industrialist Sir Joseph Verdin, who - along with his family - were at the time...

Doncaster County Court Doncaster County Court was opened in 1936 and was originally a single-storey building incorporating two court rooms. At some point it had an upstairs bunged on top of the existing building to open up more space for offices and archive storage, meaning the building as it...

History One that I'd been aware of for ages, and is soon to be demolished to make way for housing. The raceway set on the runway of RAF Long Marston opened in 1980, opening with the name Long Marston Raceway. It was renamed Avon Park Raceway' in 1990 and finally renamed Shakespeare County...

Very strange this... the hotel that I paid money to stay in was more derelict than this derelict hotel. Hmmm strange indeed. Anyways well known this one, it has appeared in the Mirror, the Irish Sun, and other newspapers; but we were just a few miles away and fancied an upgrade from the hotel...
