cumberland

After a while out of the game for various other commitments, we decided it was time to get back into it and choose Wapping and Cumberland as a good explore to ease back into it. This is a return visit for ourselves and so we knew the route quite well by this point. I'd highly recommend a visit...

Introduction Me and @JakeV50 headed out to Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire to look at some more pump houses. Unfortunately, the day was full of disappointments once again but we did come across a couple of nice surprises. This report covers an Engine House which I found on old OS maps, and a pump...

Cumberland Field Pump House A ruined little one this! From a trip to the heart of England, this was a pleasant surprise. A mighty trek to get to though. We had to walk through some of the thickest mud I've ever come across, luckily we both had wellies, but the mud was like tar, it stuck to the...

Wapping Mine & Cumberland Cavern So today I went for a walk through the famous Old showcave that cumberland cavern, and obviously through wapping mine to get there. In the past the West Midlands hells angels have lived here. It has a pet snake! It is a very well trodden, very mistreated...

King's School: Cumberland St The historic King's School was founded in 1502 within the Church of St Michael and All Angels in Macclesfield. The priest-schoolmaster and free school were to be maintained by an original endowment of £10 a year and seventeen feoffees were appointed, all local...

An interesting explore that sadly, we didn't have enough time to complete fully after taking a few detours around the various routes that were on offer. We'll definitely be back here again soon to make it all the way through to the end of Cumberland Cavern. You can check out all my photos from...

Keswick remained well known for producing the finest pencils in the world. Previously the pencils had been made by hand in small workshops, but in 1832, the first pencil factory in the area was opened by Banks, Son & Co. This company would pass through several hands before becoming the...

This was my first ever explore and my first report so let me know if I go wrong! I heard this place could be accessed and it turned out to be relatively straightforward, being a quite area during the day as well. From the outside it doesn't look all that big but as with many old railway...

I visited this site by chance with HorZa, one of those ones we never thought about seeing then we saw a blatent entrance on driving past and we had to go investigate. HorZa's report can be seen here. The station was originally opened in 1900 as a replacement for Main Street station which was on...

Whilst out looking for places to visit over the weekend myself and Kebab1701 drove past this place and noticed that it happened to be open. I must have driven past hundreds of times over the years and never seen it open. So we seized our opportunity and dived inside. A bit of history: The...

As this place has already been reported i wont try and explain about the site but will just get on with the photos :thumb its a bit pic heavy by the way Over and out..........

Cumberland house - 18 floors of concrete and glass,standing 64m tall. One of the few buildings that have been on the list for some time, so when we (Adders0121, God and myself) tried our luck we were happy to find a nice clowns pocket. Pretty barren inside with evidence if various government...

Cumberland House, Broad Street, Birmingham Visited with Adders0121 and Bubblehead History on the place is quite scarce Research and a few signs littered around the building shows previous tennants such as, DSA, Inland Revenue, DEFRA, BCC, VOSA and possibly a few others. Mainly a...

Visited with The_ROC_King Bit unexpected this one - The home owners seem to have extended their garden all the way up the hill to take over the ROC post...

Visited with The_ROC_King Been done before but must be the best unrestored Post in the UK. Fantastic :D
