So, it turns out I haven’t posted anything on here for 10 Years! This was a sort of permission visit … I went here on a training course a couple of years ago, held over 2 days, we had very limited access to most of the site and even to get a cup of coffee we needed someone with keys to get us...
This was a random spot on the way back from another explore, nothing special but thought I’d share anyway. Haven’t had much time to get out recently due to life getting in the way.
Done a bit of digging online for some history managed to find a little bit related to the closure of the diner...
Visited with Ella.
I have been here before a few years ago but was disappointed with my photos so as we were visiting the area we decided to go, plus Ella hadn’t been there before.
Took us a while to find entry and it’s really muddy as there’s the builders main yard there, thankfully no one...
Visited with Ella.
Been meaning to go here for a few years now so we decided to go on Saturday. Weather wasn’t too bad for what is essentially an outdoor explore, just bloody cold.

Really quick & rather poor report this one.
This used to be a huge site which has 80% been redeveloped but they have left the main office block for many years.
I only got in this last bit before work proceeded though that itself seems to of stopped again.
I havent seen any...

After my last report being well documented I thought u may like this. I can only find one permission visit from 16 that covered the workshops only, this is an overlooked bit of deco excellence IMO.
Iv started with a stolen pic as I neglected to take any externals.
The St. James garage started...
Visited with @Chloe Explores
I Had a bit of a chicken moment with the fence, probably due to being moved on by the police elsewhere earlier in the day, with some encouragement from Chloe I managed it. I got a bit paranoid about being seen going under. But once in really enjoyable explore...
