I used to be a member here about ten years ago. It was called Top Notch back then. What a souless place it was. I remember lots of twenty somethings, coyly checking themselves out in the many wall to wall mirrors. Miss the sauna and steam room though. Theres the odd bit of exercise equipment...

Found this one quite by chance driving around looking for things to see the house is totally secure but some interesting bits in the sheds Seems like the "current" owner was a professional photographer back in the day; no recent records of him When was google maps last done? 2012? it was...

So I did an derp. I won't be revealing the location or access details because I don't want it adding to the tour route. Same with the history. Kthx, bye!

When Mookster's report of this popped up last week I thought hang on, I know exactly where this is, I'll go and have a gander. The front onto the site is all hoarded up by Hovi Luxury homes ready for demoltion. The Davro Iron and Steel Company was formed in in Lye in 1949. The company...

Visited with @raisinwing This one has been on the cards forever and after many, many, many, many years of looking, trying and failing we actually managed to get this one done. Again, Slightly pic heavy but its a mill!

First of all apologies if this is posted in the wrong place etc, I'm still very new to this site and I need a bit more time getting my head around it. This was more of a chilled out derp after spending last week knee deep in gunk in drains with Pomm and KM_Punk, which we will hopefully be...

Loxley Chapel   The Explore   Last few minutes of daylight left after a long day in Sheffield with @Urbexbandoned. If you've looked at my last report you would've read that my camera died for no reason at the previous location so I gathered my teddies from the floor beside my cot and headed...

Originally I thought this was a random turret! spotted it on the ode GE months ago and was going past so I thought Id check it out. Access was creative and the place was serious derp. It wasnt until after I got back that I stumbled upon some info and turns out its way more interesting the...

NickUK's Derp Tour, North West - November 2013 Every once in a while Nick gets fidgety and messages me saying something like, "Mate, I need to get out and do something, don't care what!". He usually has no idea what's going on in the scene, so it falls on the rest of our group to think of...
