kilns

Visited with Ella. We had seen a post come up on Facebook about this place so decided to go and have a look. The whole place was wide open, no workers or security of any kind. We wandered around the site popping into various holes, most of which were short dead end shelters. We came to the...

Finally got around to visiting here for the first time earlier in the year on an Urbex trip to North Wales. Didn't do much research prior to the explore, so I went only expecting the remains of a brickworks, I didn't realise the site has been used by various industries over it's life. The...

Had this place pinned for a couple of years so finally decided to take a look, quite different to something I would usually do. Decided to climb to the top and the view was stunning, even looked behind to see the active quarry. History on the place. Along the coast road from South Shields to...

Introduction As it was a nice day me and a friend decided to take a look at an old Pipe and Brickworks site near the Suffolk Coast. We've had this pinned on the map for a while and decided to give it a go. It was a good explore and I haven't constructed a report for a while so I have decided to...

We were coming home from a day out and was not to far from these. So we decided to swing by and have a little look. After a little stroll across the fields we were up close with them. They are actually quite a nice thing to see and quite a size when up close. These four kilns were constructed...

1. The History Continuation of my earlier report on the Loxley Valley so please see HERE for a fuller history. Found a bit more info on the impact of the flood. The valley was badly hit by the Great Sheffield flood of 1864. Thomas Marshall & William Crapper, Clay & Brick Dealers, claimed £1,217...

The Crown Pottery in Longton was established in 1841 by John Goodwin and was later occupied by Broadhurst & Sons from 1855 to 1872. John Tams operated from the site from 1875 until the Tams Group went into receivership in 2006. Since then the site has suffered numerous fires and currently has a...

This bank of lime kilns are found close by to Miller's Dale Station, between Buxton and Tideswell, Derbyshire. The station itself opened in 1878 and was served by the Midland Railway main line from Matlock to Chinley. Production at this works was ended in 1930 when the quarry above became...

Hey Guys, The last report I'll post tonight I promise ;) History The Enson works started as a muffle kiln for the production of enamels, and were part of the larger works along Chelson Street. In 1919 the works was placed into separate ownership and three additional bottle kilns were...

T G Green became famous for it's "cornish blue" ware, which it produced at it's Church Gresley works in Staffs. The works closed in 2005. Now the factory itself is just about as epic as one could get, with many rooms seemingly untouched for decades, coupled with natural decay and amazing...

More of a mini report than anything else! Didn't know if this should be in the "other sites" or "underground" to be honest! I would love to find something like this but on a larger scale, but I don't think Scotland has too much to offer :( My mum found this book on east calders "raw camps"...

Wasn't quite sure where to post this as it seems to be a bit Military, a bit Underground, a bit Roadtrip and a bit Recce, but not really much of any of them..... It'll probably end up in the recycle bin anyway! Timtom+ and I met up yesterday to do a recce down in Portsmouth and with a bit of...
