This one has been well covered before, but thought I'd share my visit. History Brief bit of history The school originated from two separate grammar-type schools built on the same large campus in Bramcote, Nottinghamshire. These were Bramcote Hills Technical Grammar (opened in 1955) and Bramcote...

Eston Hills were a prolific area of industry spanning over 90 years started in around 1850 by Bolckow, Vaughan and Company and later taken over by Dorman Long both big names in the establishment of Middlesbrough and the industry of Teesside. 63 Million Tons of Ironstone were mined from here and...

I've been trying to track down all the disused RAF airfields that are relatively close to me, and these two are very close together, so going to cover them in one report. This is mainly because there's very little at Upottery except for the runway and control tower, but it's still interesting...

About a year ago I noticed some interesting structures in a patch of scrub woodland which was being partly cleared. A closer investigation revealed a couple of semi-buried air raid shelters and a brick tower which presumably used to house a water tank or something. This year, with the ground...

From memory this was the end of an epic day & was a flying visit made even shorter by the inevitable of setting off of alarms so excuse to poor pics. This was the first school to be built on the Bramcote Hills Site. In 1948 it opened as a Secondary Modern boys school named Bramcote Hills Boys...

Three nice little places not worthy of reports in their own right. 1. Butts Quarry, Ashover This quarry can be found in the village of Ashover, to the north-east of Matlock.It was operated by the Clay Cross Co for limestone ballast for use in rail and road construction. This was then...

So am new to urban exploring and yesterday found our first place up in the hills was a total surprise when we came across it there was what looked to be a underground part to it but due to me having walking shoes on and the water been knee high we decided to go back later with the proper...

Hi All, If anyone remembers the old Fujitsu Building in Stevenage which was the STE09 one it was always called Six Hills House as it gets it name from the Six Hills in front of the building, anyway recently Six Hills House has been converted and renovated into 150 apartments with 3rd floor and...

Qinetiq is a British multinational defense technology company headquartered in Farnborough, Hampshire. One of the locations in which they had a Facility was in Malvern, Worcestershire where a lot of people were evacuated to during the second world war. I couldn't quite find out when this...

Well, we somehow stumbled across this site without intention and it turned out to be quite a nice explore. The hotel is geared up to cater for smaller functions and weddings and has small and dated bedrooms. The place is covered in stickers from a local auctioneer who is clearly attempting to...

Yooooo, This filmset was insane! Before i start i want to say it's only externals purely because all doors were locked. I plan to revisit though and try my luck again. I've looked at this place for a very long time and finally gave it a whirl with 5 others. I say it for a lot of places but this...

This ex Nato Base is not really spectacular regarding its structure or facilities but for its location. Situated on the top of a hill (about 1000m) it's a beautifull place to spend the night having a barbecue and some drinks with your buddies. Don't forget to wrap up warm. In the nights it's...

History Unlike the railways in Europe or northern America, New Zealand tracks were rudimentary. They were built cheaply and hastily using light iron rails that had a narrow 3ft 6in gauge. Even the tunnels and bridges were minimalistic and usually made as small as possible to get the railways up...

Good Afternoon, I done a report on this place a couple of years ago and after a few people got caught and arrested it was never done again! I've been back a few times since and this time I took my drone. Sorry about the quality, the fog was extremely bad. I was hoping to get the film set on the...
