Another from the road trip with @pingu last week. I have always loved Swimming Baths of this era, the lighting, the tiling, the Art Deco features, everything. They are really good, and I particularly liked this one! The Explore @pingu and myself had a bit of a tricky morning, but with the...

November 2024 I visited with @MotionlessMike, there is very little information about this building available online, but I've pieced together what I can. The building is a relatively modern (post 1970s) single-storey purpose built school building of brick construction under a mix of asphalt and...

November 2024 The Visit During a day trip to Birmingham, I visited this place with @MotionlessMike. After much difficulty gaining entry, we discovered a surprisingly well-preserved, beautiful pool hall - despite sitting vacant for years. Though minimal graffiti marked the walls, the pool area...

One from a whistle-stop mooch about Birmingham last year, having seen Speed's report it seemed worthy of a visit. Old baths like these are becoming few and far between with many local authorities building new facilities often under increasingly weird names such as "lifestyle centres" and...

Another quickie for you. I have been meaning to head over to the forbidden land (north of the M6) and check if this building was even still there let alone explorable for ages.. Today i had a reason to go and must have got lucky, despite my laziness not only was it still there the door was...

Explored with two non members. Bit of history pinched from RichPDG, (who seemed to be in mere moments after us haha) here's the site in it's former glory. Took us a few goes to get in. After spending what seemed like forever trying to find a way in (being idiots :rolleyes:) got into the big...

History Cincinnati Machine Tools was a world renowned manufacturer of milling machines. In the 1950's a large factory and modern headquarters was built alongside the canal at Erdington. The buildings are a striking post war modernist statement running along a traditional section of Birmingham...

Visited with Rigsby. This was site number 4 on out flukey day of epicness where every explore went ticketiboo and the sun was shining and everything! Thanks to OT and the Midlands Masters of Epicness for help with directions to this because we were lost and we got distracted watching some...

Me & dweeb have been looking at this place for at least the last six months, but with a canal across the front and a suburban street overlooking the intact cane hill fence at the back it wasn't looking good. Someone said demo was starting so we headed back scared that we'd missed the boat...

The forth and final GKN site, finally hit on the head by myself and Raddog. We had our eye on this one for a very long time, and then out of nowhere demolition started, and was very swift at that!! We were about a month too late we think, as already many of the fixtures and fittings are...
