I was looking for something else and came across the tunnels around Exeter https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1003851 Happy hunting

Hey, I'm very new to urbexing but I have a couple of friends who are down to do it and know of a cool spot nearby. I tried going there today but couldn't get in, the only entrance would require a ladder or rope & hopefully once I've got one I'll go back and make my first report. I'm interested...

Having closed in February due to storm damage, this iconic leisure centre on the outskirts of Exeter city will remain closed. Exeter Pyramids story Having driven past recently, there doesn't look like any obvious additional security measures. Not many things come up around Exeter, so maybe a...

OK so my earlier stuff was better (have you seen the sugar factory in Italy) but we gotta go out and find something and this is what I found. It's Vospers Motor Showroom in Exeter, which was the main Ford dealer in town and was previously known as Exeter Ford and Evans Halshaw. The original...

Female Mortuary at the former Digby Hospital, Exeter (City of Exeter Lunatic Asylum) Some history of the hospital itself, shamelessly stolen from County Asylums: The whole site was converted to housing, as mentioned above. That is, with the exception of the two mortuaries. One for male...

Woollen Mill in North Tawton, Devon. Been posted in the past but nice to see updates. It has been tidied up and site cleared to make way for building works. They have knocked down the site nearest the Gregory Distribution yard and now started building houses. Soon to build more houses and...

Webb's Garage was a motor repair workshop situated on a suburban through road. It looks like it was built in the 1920s/30s but does not have any classic architectural features of the time. Harry Webb ran the garage from the 30s until the late 60s but his name seems to have stuck to it. It had...

Has anyone ever been to exwick mill?

A section of this was originally reported by Styru in 2013... The only snippet of history I could find, is that it was locally named Shit Brook, ie open sewer. In parts it still smells fresh so nothing seems to have changed really. There's also a few sections where the construction seems to...

So, as a rule, the nice people at Ordinance Survey are a pretty reliable bunch of chaps (and chappesses) So when I noticed this: There were only a couple possible explanations, either they had let Kevin the YTS trainee* do the blue lines - and he forgot to join them - or there was...

The former Debenhams, Exeter, Devon. Feb 2011 Down here in the South West, we don’t have many high buildings, with Devon’s capital Exeter being in very short supply. (there are only 3 buildings that go above 8 floors high!). So when Debenhams relocated into the new Princesshay...

A VERY pic heavy report I'm afraid! Visited with Icutyou. SubBrit report here. Whilst on one of our EPIC ROC post bike tours, we popped in to see the Group HQ in Exeter. The chap that runs the Paintball site was more than happy to give us the grand tour. The Approach The retractable...

Subbrit last reported on this place 10 years ago so I have decided to do a full 'walk through' report with pictures referencing the building layout. This has taken me ages but worth recording. Unfortunately the building has been badly fire damaged but there are still some interesting things...
