Been to a a handful of place in the last two month's and I’ve got the bug to find more! Ilkeston/Derbyshire based anyone else wanna meet up and show us a few place willing to travel, care home was my 1st and then an old hall!

Saw this on a quick gander on google earth and decided to go with a couple of friends. 2nd abandoned place and it did not disappoint! I was more prepared to do this place (unlike in my first report) so I was able to get higher quality photos with my professional camera A bit of history about...

Sifting through things I never posted, this one stood out, as I can't see any posts from it on here. I'll be honest as it was so long ago I remember very few details about the explore other than the fact it was incredibly hot, and it was the last place we and our knackered bodies stopped at...

Lake Farm Pumping Station Going back to summer for this one, me and Dan on one of our usual trips. One pin to check out was Lake Farm Pumping station. Dan managed to find this on early 1900s OS Maps. Not much history, as with most of these pumps. It is situated on the banks of the Old Bedford...

Gressingham Farm Pump House A local one this, not much to it but the engine is beautiful and report worthy itself. Another evening spent scouring various maps and websites, found several possible points of interest, one of them being this one. Unlike the other pumps regularly found, this...

Introduction Continuing our hunt for old pumping stations around the washes in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, me and @V50jake went to check out this and a few other sites last weekend. This is one I found on satellite imagery. It looks quite small on satellite imagery but was actually really nice...

This is my first proper post so sorry if it’s not to good. Had a good old explore today from st Margret deep shelter to ROC station near fan bay, but on the Google map I saw something interesting. This is copied from national trust. September 1941, construction began at Wanstone Farm, between...

When I was driving around the neighbourhood (in the North of Italy) on a sunny day in 2020, I spotted this ruin of a large farm. The insides were mostly empty and broken down, but the inner court looked pretty nice and the architectural details were fantastic! These are from inside...

Huskisson is one of the docks in the middle of the Liverpool system and is still in use although the huge transit shed on the southern side has been derelict for a while. A few weeks ago I noticed that it was being stripped out, then one corner started to be demolished so I went for a look in...

The Fish Farm History I couldn't find too much history on this location, it was a rambling house that was converted into a fish breeding farm in 1952 and was refurbished in 2003. Both owners passed away in 2018 and the shop had to close, the house has remained in probate ever since, it gained...

History and Background: This site first came to my attention many years ago when it was mentioned in a booklet produced by the Kent Defence Research Group called Handbook of Kent’s Defences back in 1977. This was merely a gazetteer of OS map references and descriptions and this site was...

History: This place was probably built somewhere in the early 1900s as a farm. After the second world war this became a car garage owned by two brothers who were looking at the extensive car collection, heavy car enthusiasts. The collection they owned was really big and varied from all kinds of...
