In my quest for car graveyards this was one which was chucked in my lap a couple of years ago now, but given it's distance from my home was a place I'd never been able to actually factor into a day out. I rarely venture into Lincolnshire as it is but during a day spent hunting more car...

(BEFORE LOCKDOWN) (JUST) Ford UK Head Office, Warley @Ojay / @mockney reject / @Seffy The UK head office of Ford Motor Group was built in the early 1960s and was intended to be a sort of replica of the head office in Dearborn, Michigan. It sits on the site of the old Warley regimental depot...

When on a bike ride we were in a farmland area of sulham woods,reading,Berkshire looking in and at pillar boxes from WW2. Trying to find an entrance we discovered a manageable hole to get through. Luckily we had our phones and shone a light in the dark room. Noticing there was a stood up wheel...

me and a few like minded wanderers ventured into the dagenham ford staping works, security with dogs on site but we still managed to slip past to take a few final shots of the now demolished parts of the building, great explore and more big buildings to post.

After hearing about the great views from the roof in the thread @UrbanDuck posted, I decided to check this one out, (Only a year late) even though all I heard about it was that it had been thoroughly locked down tight and that there was no longer a way inside. It's kind of lucky I left this one...

Back in November we saw Speed stick up the first report of this colossus, and we immediately figured out the next evening that we could make it out to Dagenham to have a look around. The site itself has a large importance in the UK history of car making and is considered iconic. Already back in...

The history of the site at Swaythling on the outskirts of Southampton dates back to 1939 when Cunliffe-Owen built a factory to assemble aircraft parts. The site manufactured parts for the Spitfire during the war and was bombed many times. The factory was sold to Briggs Motor Bodies after the...

The now abandoned Ford Transit Van Factory near Southampton has some real history to it. The Factory was initially built as a shadow factory in 1939 near to Southampton Airport and was originally used to produce aircraft parts. In particular the factory, during World War II made components for...

Visited with @Seffy Both of these reside with Avonmouth docks. We visited both of these in one night after a lot scoping access to the dock. Being night we had to light paint with our torches, how we didn't get noticed I will never know! A thoroughly enjoyable explore I highly advise people...

Part two of the Dagenham saga from me. I had poked around this lot in the dark on my first visit but it needed a day light return to full appreciate it. This building sits to the north of the main body plant and it was a little bit of mystery as to what was going to be in there. As it turned...

Not Going to do a full write up tonight as its late and I'm tired out after seeing in the new year at millennium mills. But thought I'd put up a few photos straight off the camera... Main Press Shop: Die Shop: Offices: Body Assembly...
