January 2025 Did this one with @MotionlessMike. We ran into two other explorers while we were inside, so if you’re on the forum—apologies, I didn’t catch your names. All I know is that @MotionlessMike ended up throwing a tyre at one of you, thinking it was me. :rofl The site itself is a fairly...

1st time going here fairly small School ,building is covered in scaffolding and it has a new plastic roof on the whole of the building it is all now completely dry inside which is a good thing.No sign of life on Saturday afternoon my thought is they put on the roof to stop any water getting in...

Not really wiorth positing a proper report on this but I though't I'd share the current state of Dudley Hippodrome with you all. Based on a recent article from the Wolverhampton Express & Star the building may not be reduced to rubble as soon as we thought (Hippodrome campaigners call for...

These pictures date from late 2015 and I would assume its all gone now as demolition machines were ready and waiting, seems we got here just in time. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_sam/albums/72157661698783882 The original buildings were constructed in 1849 by the Earl of Dudley to...

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...

Nice little explore, there was a strange guy inside. Kept away from him. But easy access, easy parking, no security.
