This was a former cod factory founded in the 1950s, ‘Seca do Bacalhau’ meaning ‘Dry of Cod’ in Portuguese. It’s a large site with a lighthouse, water tower, fish farming area, and living quarters for the workers. There was a documentary made of the women workers who worked there, mostly in slave...

I made my way to Bidston Hill yesterday on the recommendation of a report I saw on here. What a gorgeous place! The whole land was bought on the condition that it would be kept for public use and enjoyment, which is upheld today. The buildings date from the 1800s. No interior exploration as the...

LAST VISIT - 23/07/2019 SECURITY - One stationed guard, doesn't move from that spot So I have been to a few places before, but never really been to anything this size before... I initially came to the naval base at night with a few mates and was blown away by the sheer size of the place. So...

A very short but sweet visit for work to Edinburgh this week with unfortunately not near enough time to explore all the locations I had spotted. I got as far as scouting, nicely preparing for next time (next time I swear I get in Scotland Street Tunnel. Found two entry points that were so...

Took a trip over to eastbourne, for the eastbourne airshow ended up at the abandoned care home. I will be back soon for more of the inside. TR.

The Lighthouse Building. First report I haven't been able to find much info on this place, other than it has been abandoned for the last 20 or so years, and is now getting a facelift and will be used as offices with a few shop fronts on ground level? If anyone knows a bit of the history to this...

This lighthouse on the outskirts of East London (South Africa) is currently closed to public access due to severe damage and vandalism to the windows. A member of the Port Authority agreed to take us in for a bit of a nosey. Nice bloke too. A bit of history..... Hood Point Lighthouse was...

:D So some brief history on this place, the main lighthouse became obsolete in 1870 it was then replaced by two "leading lights" these were more sophisticated than the first lighthouse in that they had to be aligned, so when they were seen in a straight line one above the other, the ship's...

Spent a few days in Uruguay, and while I focused more time on sunbathing, swimming and playing with friendly dogs on the beach than urban exploring, I thought I'd post up a few places I did see. The lighthouse in Colonia del Sacramento was built in 1857, and is still operating. I paid a...

Eastern Entrance Lighthouse - Portland Breakwater A solo visit whilst out fishing in Portland Harbour. I decided to take a break from catching fuck all, and have my packed lunch (:P) on one of the breakwater entrances. Having visited the Checkered Fort a fair bit recently, I thought I’d check...

A shot that I took ages ago A Brief history The New Brighton Lighthouse was originally known as Perch Rock Lighthouse and construction began in 1827 however Since 1 October 1973 it has been redundant and has been little visited due to its precarious high door and sinking sands that surround...

Ok first the History This lighthouse was completed in 1971 and replaced a light vessel which had marked the Royal Sovereign Shoal since 1875. It is of concrete construction and was built in two sections on the beach at Newhaven. The base and vertical pillar section were floated into position...

right folks, hallo! This is my first report, so don't expect magic to happen here, but give pointers where needed. Visted here in June with Downturn for a quick evening explore after work, not the biggest of explores but we thought it was worth the trip. As far as I know it hasn't been done on...
