Hi all, how are we? 22 years young and thrilled to get back into the world of Urbex after a long break. I've done plenty of excursions in the past and know a handful of good spots - I've climbed many cranes, explored bomb shelters and abandoned buildings starting at the age of 16. I'm mainly...

Coulsdon Deep Shelter - November 2024 Facing some inevitable downtime after a shoulder operation, I found myself with time to finally go through photos from an explore a few months back: Coulsdon Deep Shelter. I know it’s been absolutely done to death, which is why I initially held back on a...

Continuing my journey into urbex in 2025, after exploring north weald redoubt, my next weekend explore was Coulsdon deep as it seemed easily accessible. History Coulsdon Deep Shelter, also known as Brighton Road Deep Shelter, was built during World War II to protect residents from air raids...

Royal Marines Deep Refuge, Chatham, Kent - June 2024 The Royal Marines Deep Refuge is a deep shelter in Chatham, Kent, it was dug in 1938 during the Munich Crisis they were constructed under the site of the old Royal Marines Barracks which was closed in 1950 and was finally demolished in 1960...

Howdy folks, its good to be back!! After a few years of self-exile, I'm officially out and about. So, I thought rather than report on one of the many local locations in my neck of the woods, why not visit a site out of town. Knowing I would soon be travelling to the Surrey area, this awarded me...

Visited with @Llama @James Cross @Stumpy_UX & @Wastelandr. Thanks guys for a great evening 👍 History The Royal Marines deep refuge is a multi level air raid shelter constructed in 1938 at the time of Munich crisis. There’s not a lot more info of the history of shelter but the barracks above...

It's been an absolute hot minute since this happened, but better late than never? 😬 Same idea as the other 7 Deep Level Shelters under London, a twin pair of 427m (ish) long tunnels built underneath existing tube stations from 1940-1942 by the Home Office to provide shelter capacity under...

Bit late on posting this, but I've been going through photos from nights out with Suboffender back in the day and wanted to post it up as a tribute to him. The history is pretty well known about these shelters; during WW2 the Home Office decided to build 10 deep level shelters for people to...

This is our first report, featuring me (OP) and two other friends @Gollyis2good and @Toby4321 . We found about this place from the reports from here and on YouTube and thought we would give it a try, even though it has been quite a long time since the last report. Apologies for the trash...

So here it is, the final report* on the remaining Headstocks in the UK! *I'll probably have missed something else, so there may be more in future 🤔 Part 1 - Here Part 2 - Here Part 3 - Here I'm aware of another three that are underground; Bwlch Glas which I mentioned in Part 1 The Sir Francis...

So here is Part 3 of the remaining Headstocks in the UK! Slight change of plan, this is now going to be four parts, as the last report is simply too big to post as one. Scotland first, as I need to research a couple of last minute Yorkshire additions for Northern England. Previous parts can be...

While visiting a location close to here. I totally forgot about this place... After finding a way in and exploring the initial shed. A gap in a door was too tempting not to shimmy under. And upon exiting the shed a rabbit hole opened up, please enjoy a selection of pics that I took on my...

Here's part two of the remaining headframes in the country. Other than Chatterley Whitfield, the South Wales Coalfield definitely has the best remaining colliery infrastructure I would say. The amount left in Cornwall was rather surprising, made for a decent day out though! Be a while until part...

Ok everyone I'm not going to ramble on about this one as I'll just be regurgitating everything that's already been said by anyone who's been here. We found it on our 3rd attempt with huge thanks to Doozer. Anyway enough from me enjoy sum pics instead.

I've always had a bit of a fascination with Headstocks, they're relics of a bygone era in Britain's industrial heritage. Collieries especially pique my interest, as each coal field generally made use of vastly different designs, so each remaining Headstock is relatively unique. The more modern...

Whats the situation like with the deep level shelter in belsize or any other shelter on the line. I would like to visit one and wouldnt mind someone joining whos been!

New video up, and in this 1st of 2 parts, we start the legendary Haggs to Brownley through trip. In this one, we pass through deep water in haggs to see some amazing workings, formations and arching unlike that seen in other mines we have seen and of course, some nice shale to accompany us too...

Thought we would have a look last night. Waders on and in we went...... yeah it gets pretty deep half way through.... so only a couple of pics. explored with @Stimpakman Bit of history. Between 1940 and 1941 a network of tunnels was excavated sixty feet below Hargate Forest on the south...

Hope Cove was a World War II radar station. In the early 1950s it was revamped as part of the RAF’s ROTOR air defence scheme. It was one of five stations equipped with a type R6 (semi-sunk) bunker. The others were Hack Green, Langtoft, St. Twynells and Treleaver. In the late 1950s the site was...

Whilst in the south I explored a bunch of schools - alone they probably wouldn't be interesting enough to warrant their own threads but together they form a nice little collection. One of the first things I learned whilst exploring these schools was that the architects really didn't like to put...
