A series of photos from three visits to this site over 2021, 22, and 23. Going really far back into my archive now. It turns out I have stuff spanning 2021 to 2025 in my hard drive just sat there never posted. I hope no one minds my dumping of historical visits - if I don't put them here they'll...

History The North Weald Redoubt, or to give it it’s technical title, The North Weald London Mobilisation Centre, is a Victorian fortification at the top of the hill behind the village hall. It sits within an area once known as Ongar Great Park, the oldest recorded park in England, originating in...

After doing some research, North Weald Redoubt seemed like a great first proper urbex explore. It looked easy enough to get to, had a mix of above-ground ruins and underground tunnels, and had plenty of history behind it. I knew there were already tons of reports on the place, but I figured I’d...

Evening all, I'm RedPanda, feel free to cut that down to Panda if you wish. I'm based in the SE of Essex and have only really gotten into this scene in the last couple of years (A silver lining of the lockdowns I guess). I've enjoyed hopping into old ROC posts and checking out mil complexs...

Explored with @WilsonTheHuman I wanted to do north weald Bassett for a while now but for some reason just never got around to exploring the fort, Well to kick off the 2023 travels, we picked up friends ( one who is local to me.) And another friend who was staying near the fort and headed to...

Some info from Essex police website The former Epping police station will be placed on the open market for sale, as Essex Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner continue to release resources to invest in the front line. The front counter of the station in High Street, Epping was closed...

Epping Forest College vacated this site in 2011, presumably to move into the huge college that now currently stands round the corner. I wasn’t able to find much information on why else, however since their departure these old buildings have clearly seen their fair share of arson and forced entry...

This is my first post so I am sorry in advance if this isn't exactly what people expect to see on here. History: I have researched online and asked around but there seems to be very little history on this place, all I have been able to gather was that the school closed in 2009 and moved to...

Recently found myself in the great company of Nelly,Klempner,Tommo,UrbanX & Waddy and were heading track side Somthing different for me Cheers SK ;)

Copped Hall, Epping This place has been on the list for eons. It used to be a walk in walk out place, so much so that many teenagers in the Epping area visited Copped Hall during the hours of darkness to experience the "Haunted Manor" Then a certain Mr Rod Stewart brought a rather large...

Today me and Stevec047 headed off on a roadtrip of Essex with places i had researched, Gaynes Mansion was the final visit of the day and the best by far. We walked through a wooded area to see a looming gothic mansion. The only information i can find on the place is it was built in the 19th...

First, thanks to markr for the lead this morning. This is a superb hardened bunker on the edge of North Weald airfield. Foot thick steel and concrete doors, air filtration and EMP filters for comms and electrics remind you of its later purpose in life. Apart from some chav turd setting...
