Hello 28DL! I've been a long-time lurker, but this is the first time I've done anything worth posting. Severn Bridge station was on the eastern edge of the former railway bridge across the River Severn; its other end was at Sharpness. Originally opened in the 1870s, the bridge was damaged in...

Short History This pillbox is said to be unusual as it contains no well for an anti-aircraft weapon and is build differently to the usual FW/3 27 models. A blast wall protects the Eastern entrance which suggests that it was used primarily for defence and observing the River Severn for enemy...

Small History For years in Lydney the underpass was the safest way to cross the train tracks but on May 9th 2012 without notice they closed it and filled part of the top in so people couldn't walk under and blocked it off with a gate. The reason for this is because they installed new automatic...

Visited with Bryn Kearsey and a non-member. Despite several reports already being uploaded for this site, the last one being from September 2014, I feel as though, because of how much I love this place, I had to join in and do a write-up myself. History: "Pine End Works had been in operation...

[CENTER]After Cwm Coke we checked out a couple of possible new places one of which was well sealed and the other appeared to be currently occupied by workers (on a Sunday!) so we sacked them off for another day and started to head home via this factory which I had pinned for some time as...

Visited with WhoDaresWins After having a mooch round Pine End WhoDaresWins and I decided to have a poke around a few old trains near by. There was a mixture of rolling stock and a few diesel locomotives wrapped in plastic which looked as if they were due for restoration. Here are a few...

Visited with WhoDaresWins I had a brief scout around this place a in February, the weather was awful, my pictures almost as bad and i was only there for about 30 minutes so no report ensued.. However, i earmarked the place for a proper explore at a later date and here we are. Visited on a...

Visited with Hector Rex Seeing as we both had a free day, the sun was shining and this place wasn't too far away, we decided to give the place a mooch around. The last report I could find was 2010 so we felt the place deserved looking at again. The place was built as a shadow factory early in...
