    Report - Latchford Locks Pump House Fail (Manchester Ship Canal, Jun, 2025)

    As the last derelict pump house on the canal this had to be attempted even though it’s always looked rather secure, and indeed I couldn’t get in. So a mini report with just a couple of phone pictures taken through a crack to see what was inside. What we have here is probably a...

    Report - Edge Hill Steam Tunnel Excavation Fail (Liverpool, 2020)

    Report - Red Alert at Redcar (Teeside steelworks 2019)

    This is the first Report in a very long time, it seems anything I once uploaded has since been lost. Pictures are not wonderful, hopefully the story will excuse them to a degree and you might glean a sliver of wisdom, if you choose to make a visit to the Steelworks. To kick off, I will...

    Report - Manoir aux Statues (June 2016) and a fail. Anyone knows it?

    Unfortunately an oldie, I forgot to post. A true gem, though all the statues that apparently once were there had disappeared. I am always surprised how close locations are time by time. I visited another one, a hotel, some 5 years ago which is only a few hundred meters away! The living room...

    Report - Villa Lambin (March 2016) and a fail

    Villa Lambin. Long on my list. Sadly a tear-down notice at the entrance. Is it still there? Lovely couple living next door. Fabulous 1950s radiocabinet (sadly someone found it necessary to smash the front) Love old newspapers (this is from 1919) And a fail, all boarded shut, en route

    Before heading to the Villa Albanaise we decided to check out the Chateau du Foret. We parked the car in a village 2km away and walked there. After criss-crossing the forest for 10 minutes we arrived at the back of the chateau. Built in 1860 in the Neo-Tudor style, and formerly owned by a...
