For such a long time we have been looking to prove that underground Tunnels/Shelters/Structures can exist within Shoeburyness despite the land being so close to the water table. We did ALOT of research and one day last month decided to go looking for an entrance of some kind that we believed...

I visited the site a couple of months ago in the hopes of having a look around only to find that it has been demolished to make way for what I think is yet another housing estate. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures when I was there but it is now a pile of rubble. This was a sad to discover...

I apologise in advance for the quality of photos. I was not particularly thinking of framing, lighting etc. during this time. I will also ensure I do not get people in the shots in future reports. Often visited the Coalhouse Fort as a kid with my family and heard my Dad mention about...

Live in Chelmsford and looking for anything abandoned or interesting in Essex???

Hey everyone, I used to go exploring a lot but had a pretty bad accident and now I am recovered I want to get back out there! One of my favourite places I have explored were the tunnels underneath Beacon Hill Fort but I think I last went there about 8 years ago. Has anyone been recently? Just...

I've been looking into the history of Shoeburyness, and heard the story/myth about the RED BRICK HOUSE at the end of Elm rd. The story goes that there was a tunnel that lead down from Red Brick House down to the shore and it was either used for smuggling in things, another story is that there is...

First Report here! This has already been covered many times on 28dl. However it is still a proper explore and was fun to see. It is, as said before; heavily vandalized and there is a looming feeling that demolition is near. History of this site: There is a lot of confusing history around the...

My first report, feedback is welcome of course. The Brantham Factories have somewhat of a legendary status in the area, very popular for exploring even as a one off. The factories were built in 1887 and were abandoned in 2007. The company named "BX Plastics" manufactured, you guessed it...

I found this old place in Brantham/Manningtree and I think it could be a chemical factory but I'm not too sure. The explore is pretty easy all things considered, everything is open and only a few of the rooms are blocked up from industrial junk. Although most of the rooms have multiple entrances...

A Brief Intro This going to be a relatively short report since well. It's only a small thing, but the significance of it is somewhat interesting. I found myself one night after work aimlessly flying across google maps in search of something interesting, being that a place to check out or a...

This is my first post so I hope that I have done everything correctly... Please let me know if not :) I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes! History- The North Weald Redoubt was the first of the London Mobilisation centre built in the 1980s to protect London from invasion. As part of...

Braintree College of Further Education (Braintree Campus) Have struggled to find particularly much about this place online. It was originally an independently controlled institution, but became part of the Colchester Institute after merging in February 2010. Part of the site is still live as...

Hi all! So just getting into the whole urbex scene fairly recently and as a film fanatic would love to see some abandoned theatres/cinemas. Does anybody know of any in/around the London/Essex/Brighton area, as my group and I don't really have the time or facilities to travel too far. Thanks!!
