jetty

I visited the Coal Cranes back in 2021 for a short explore. Roll forward to Summer 2025, a revisit was on the cards with 2 friends. We decided this time that we would camp here in tents beneath the cranes, have some dinner, a few drinks and explore the cranes at dusk, night, dawn and day...

The Kingsnorth power station was a 2000MW dual fired station situated in the River Medway estuary. This was an ideal location as it allowed coal to be brought in by sea. Another Location I was shown by @Exploring With Pride 🌈 whilst down in Kent, making good use of his boat on a gorgeous day...

Whites jetty in Swanscombe was used by the Swanscombe Cement Works to put the cement onto the boats to be sent of the pier is quite long but not accesible as its like a fortress around it with cameras,alarms,fences and anti climb paint there i also still a lot to do with the jetty around that...

Way back in 2021, I ventured to Fort Hoo in the River Medway via an inflatable canoe as detailed in my report below. It was an incredibly photogenic place, although the adventure became more memorable for missing the high tide by a matter of half an hour and having to wait until dark to return...

Another minor industrial relic on the Manchester Ship Canal. As the title says, it was a pump house and loading jetty for Ince B power station. Although the power station is mostly demolished the control block and a few nearby buildings are still standing, and well worth a look. This much...

Back in November; Myself and 5 others including @Dragon_Urbex, stayed the night at St Martins Hospital in Canterbury, with food, drinks and air beds on a ward. It was extremely cold; even in a sleeping bag, and my airbed sprung a leak, which I managed to fix with some gaffer tape which was...

So, this is a location I've wanted to do for quite some time now, but never got round to actually managing to do it. That was until November 2021. History: Kingsnorth Power Station was a 2,000 megawatt dual-fired coal and oil power station, situated north of Rochester on the Hoo Peninsula. The...

The History Between 1971 and 1975 Occidental Refineries Limited partially built an oil refinery on marshland at Canvey Island, Essex. The local authorities had originally refused planning permission but after appealing to the Department of the Environment, the refinery was given the go ahead...

History: Kingsnorth Coal Loading Jetty in the River Medway, although officially named Oakham Ness Jetty, was built in 1964, as part of the construction for Kingsnorth Power station, which was to become operational 9 years later in 1973. The jetty itself was built 1.2 miles out into the estuary...

Dullest explore ever? Maybe, but these structures are due to be demolished to make way for a new cruise ship terminal, so worth a final look. The interest is mainly historical - the landing stages were a test bed for the use of reinforced concrete in the docks, paving the way for the much more...

A pump house and water tank near the Flintshire bridge on the north side of the River Dee. Built between 1954 and 1963, it presumably served the Shotton (now TATA) steelworks in the days when steel was actually made there. First the tank, which has several pipes going up one side… …and a...

Hi! This is my first report on here, having been watching this site for probably a year or so, so let's hope that I've picked up the basics! I think I may have been having slight lighting issues in some of the photos so any feedback is definitely appreciated! History Haven't managed to find a...

THIS PLACE IS MID DEMOLITION (Late July '11) If you want to see it, be quick. See pics 3 & 4 After our mixed results at Llanberis Bomb Store and conscious of the fact sim2lew had to be back very soon, we decided to head back, but not before trying one more site. On the way up to Llanberis...

This probably isn't worth a report, it's pretty mundane, but an explore none the less. I joined Fieldy on a road trip to London where we stopped off at Canvey Island to look at this abandonded refinery jetty. The actual refinery part is long gone, bit late to this one :rolleyes: The...

History has been done (but not to death ) bet I could find out stuff what has not been posted but after 18 hrs up in the sheep country my head has gone west !.....on with the pics...
