So here’s my first post. Much of St. Cadoc’s Hospital, a mental hospital in Newport, is disused. We decided to explore during the night as there would be less activity, as the hospital is still partially operational. Security actively watch the site and caught us in the end, but here’s what we...

USKMOUTH B POWER STATION I'd like to prelude this report by noting this post as the beginning of a two week stint of nothing but power stations from me. I may have been an absent character on this forum for a long time now, but I never stopped exploring. The backlog is ridiculous but I'm back...

Aw mannn, Uskmouth! I recently saw a photo of Uskmouth with all its guts ripped out, and it made me feel emotional things; nostalgic things. My attachment to Uskmouth comes from a single visit, somehow a whole two years ago now. Take it from me, time goes faster the older you get, so seize the...

Bassaleg Mortuary As prev reports I cant find a lot about this place, its just a small local mortuary. Im pleased that we got in here when we did before it was made public & the goons blatantly smashed the place open. Was a bit of a squeeze but great to tick this off. Anyway we went here...

UK Transporter Bridges There are four transporter bridges in the UK, although the remains of the one in Runcorn are minimal so most wouldn't count that. The bridge as a whole was demolished years ago, but the former approaches, power house and former office building are still standing. The...

Bassaleg Mortuary, Newport, South Wales (not to be confused with St Woolos hospital mortuary just down the road) If anyone knows anything more about this one then please feel free to share, but I cannot find any history on this little mortuary. It's located on the edge of the new Carnegie...

So, I've had a search and couldn't actually find much information. In fact I used to live not far from the place and didn't even venture in the whole time I was there. Crazy girl!! All I know is whats already been said, its on the A38 and it closed down due to lack of business. There have been...

History There isn’t much history on this place, other than it was built in 1905 and known as Newport Borough Asylum until 1919 when it became Newport Borough Mental Hospital. During the Second World War, St Cadocs became an emergency hospital but soon thereafter returned to caring for the...

So so so so pissed off! Am currently on the A38 wanting to show my boyfriend Newport Towers Hotel as he wasn’t around when I went ages ago now. Come here to find some cunt has set it on fire literally a few weeks ago. I absolutely fucking hate people who set out to destroy these buildings it...

Me and my friend decided to go to this hotel we had seen driving back from Stroud on the A38 last week but as it was dark we thought we would come back another time and get better pictures in the light. The Newport Tower Hotel was closed due to a lack of guests staying there. We visited today...

Hi all. Though I've yet to find it's location (and I'm not asking, I like finding them on my own back), is it still possible to access the abandoned Sainsburys in Newport, South Wales? Hoping a local member will know if it's worth the trip. They seem to be shit-hot on boarding up the best ones...
