Hi everyone, I’m not really a newbie at this point but I never did an intro post so here goes! I’m Cosmonaut and I’ve been exploring since ’24, as some might have seen I mostly explore in the Hampshire/London area. I also explore a bit further afield (I’ve done a couple of trips to Australia...

Hiyaa I’m new to urbex but I’ve always loved abandoned places I would live some suggestions in Southampton/Hampshire area to explore with my friends

In 1938 the War Department purchased nearby Minley Manor and established a tank training base, then in 1941 Hartford Bridge Flats was surveyed as a new air base and the site (over 650 acres) requisitioned in October. The massive base took over a year to complete with three runways, the longest...

Introduction I haven’t been out much recently, but decided to meet up with @Wastelandr and @Solace Chivers in and around Portsmouth, this was the second successful visit of the day. Information & History The site was first established in 1917 during WW1 as a seaplane training base, it...

The University of Law campus in Guildford, based at Braboeuf Manor, was originally established in the 1960s when the institution was still known as The College of Law, though its wider history dates back to 1876. It operated for decades as a major centre for legal training in the UK before...

HMS Daedalus Barracks, located at Lee-on-the-Solent near Gosport, Hampshire, formed part of one of the Royal Navy’s most important air stations, playing a key role in British military aviation throughout the 20th century. The barracks supported personnel stationed at HMS Daedalus, a site deeply...

Hi Everyone! I'm new here and new to forums in general. My boyfriend has a pretty keen interest in abandoned or forgotten about tunnels, it's his birthday in May and I had an idea to try and organise and exploration adventure for him in our local area of Hampshire I don't even know if this is a...

Visited with @cattos mc budget and a non-member. Over a month ago, @cattos mc budget did a solo recce of the surface compound at the Medstead ROC Post and said it was worthy of a proper visit. So while on our way to another site (which was bloody awesome), we decided to stop off and have a...

Visited with @cattos mc budget. While at school I had some free time on a Chromebook amidst doing some coursework, so I decided to search up on nearby ROC Posts as I'd always fancied doing one. The one with the most potential (and the easiest to get to) was the Overton Post, so after school me...

This Pizza Hut shut last year, The building is currently in amazing condition, with the interior still well preserved and largely untouched — a rare sight for a modern closure like this. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before kids inevitably try to force entry and start ruining...

Visited with Ella. Bloody cold day but at least no rain. We were late visiting here, preferring to go places after the tour bus have departed for the next hot location. An absolute shame to see this place as it now is, it has been rapidly destroyed over the past 4 weeks according to a friend...

Cosham Health Centre was one I’d been trying to get into for a long while, so it was good to finally get inside and have a proper look around. The building dates back to the late 20th centry , constructed as part of the NHS expansion of community-based healthcare, and it operated as a local...

It was good to see this crop up and being local, had to join the bandwagon as the decay is beautiful in some of the rooms. The whole of Aldershot Garrison keeps on giving, after many years, we still see some new stuff appear. I believe this closed around 2011 ish. As part of the wider...

The decay on this old spa is starting to kick in nicely since it closed it's doors in 2020. With Gurkha's living inside, my first visit was cut swiftly short, only managing to tick off the main building. Can you visit a spa without visiting the spa? Don't be silly of course not. So I made a...

Hi there! I’m new to this and was really hoping to find some cool places in Hampshire and Dorset. Preferably in the Bournemouth and Southampton areas. Or near there! A lot of the places I’ve found so far have been either demolished or turned into other things. Will be great if anyone knew some...
