This has been covered a couple of times and while only a small slate quarry a couple of the features made it worth a look. There was some small-scale extraction of slate on this site from the 17th century, but commercial extraction began in 1857. The Cambrian Slate Company Ltd was formed to...

Hi, I’m benjy this is my first report. Decided to make one last return to Denbigh's Lunatic Asylum before it is demolished for good.. Obviously (with good reason) a very popular place amongst the urbex community! Without going into too much details.. Originally known as the North Wales County...

January 2025 I visited this place on my own while touring the North Wales coast. I had missed a chance to see it before, as I had heard it was set to be demolished. I wanted to stop by, especially since I remembered visiting it as a child during family trips to Rhyl. As I drove along the...

One at the more wrecked end of things so probably not of much interest to the usual photomuppet types - my interest was in the water-powered aspect. A blacksmiths appears on maps by 1874, with a date on a concrete pillar inside suggesting it was still used in 1962. Other than that I haven’t...

This is a small slate quarry I visited on the way through to Snowdon to look at bigger things! Interesting place, quite small and mainly flooded (popular with cave diving nutjobs), but had some iteresting features, including a very long drainage adit that opened into a luch tropical rainforest...

Introduction This is one of a few places that myself and @V50jake visited on our trip to Wales at the beginning of May. I’ve driven past this a few times before not paying much attention to it as it looked like an old farm building or derpy house, but we decided to take a closer look and as it...

The nurseries were owned and run by the county council, who as a cost saving measure closed the place in 2012, putting 8 workers out of a job along with hoofing 22 mentally handicapped individuals out of a programme that involved them in the community. didnt expect much here it was a drive by...

A 1991 Closure situated just off the road near an off road track. Inside isn't in a bad condition with a little bit left to look at. Krpyton :)

History: Pool Park was built as a manor house between 1826-29 for the second Lord Bagot. The house was sold to the Tate family (of Tate & Lyle) as a family home. In 1937 the house was sold again to the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital who developed the property into a hospital to relieve the...

North Wales Hospital AKA Denbigh Asylum The Explore I couldn’t do a tour around Wales without calling into to see this one. After already being awake for a long time i’m not even sure what time we arrived or indeed when we left but myself and Session9 had a good few hours in here, which...

Visited with two non members on a weekend trip to Llanberis. As beautiful as the exterior of this building is, the inside is pretty buggered and I was slightly disappointed. Got to meet the legend that is Elwyn though and he actually wasn't as bad as I'd been lead to believe.. I even took a...

Ive copied and pasted this description from another user on this forum, I cant find its origin but thanks to the original historian who wrote it. In a sorry state of repair however looking at the photos there are still many valleys and gulleys that have not been ravaged so the water ingress...

Visited with Magpie423, MrDistopia, H1971, and LeedsExplorer This started from a message the day before that i had not seen until about 11pm :/ Regardless, i let LE know that i'd be attending, and in turn he let Magpie know :thumb History The North Wales Hospital (locally known as...

After an eventfull morning at Denbigh Hospital and relaxing for 2 hours with a BBQ, we headed our separate ways. It seemed silly to be in this part of the UK and miss Pool Park, so we shot over. A relaxing explore to ease ourselves into the "Travel Home Mode", No problems, Sun was still...
