The rest of the pumps in Northumberland, although there are probably a few more, either not marked on old maps or ones I didn’t find at the time. Kirkwhelpington 1. A Blake in a tank with an empty pump house next door. It pumped water from a reservoir (first picture) filled by a well...

Another countywide listing of these pumps for posterity, or the ones shown on old maps anyway. I found 30 in Northumberland with a hit rate of just over 40% so I’ll split this into two posts to keeps things manageable. As usual some of the sites labelled as ‘hydraulic ram’ or similar turned out...

Im based in county durham, north east and can travel if need be. Just looking to explore some abandoned buildings or houses with history. Dont want to break any laws or break in but some are known to be easy accesible. Also new to this so dont mind a small group or partner. Respectful and...

This place is not much to look at but is of some historical significance as the world’s first hydroelectricity plant. It supplied Cragside, the home of Sir William Armstrong who, apart from being the first international arms dealer, was also interested in water powered devices. Armstrong...

Hi everyone, I’m Sean Wilson, 22 years old and based in Ashington, Northumberland — not far from Newcastle Upon Tyne. Born on 23rd December 2002, which means, yes… I’m one of those unfortunate souls who gets “combined” birthday and Christmas presents every year. I’ve been interested in urban...

I imagine everyone has seen images of this place before. And most of you up north have probably been here! But I like to think I put my own twist on the images I capture. Aiming for the highest possible quality and 'moodyness' to really set the tone. This place gives me 'The Last of Us' vibes...

Hi! Looking for people in the North East / Northumberland / Newcastle / Berwick. I have extensive experience and knowledge of abandoned mines in the North of England. Looking for people who are interested in exploring abandoned mines, especially if you’ve not had the opportunity to do it...

Drove upto carrshield mine today for an explore. The first opening we came across was boarded up but managed to climb through. We could only go about 300 feet as it was ankle deep in water and after that probably about waist high. The 2nd had a metal gate we opened enough to get through. It...

Introduction First of all, I’d like to say thanks to admin for organising such a great meet last Saturday. I enjoyed it from start to finish, met some great people, and had some excellent conversations. The after-party was unexpected and bloody brilliant. As me and Jake were already going to...

Hi guys hope you all are well. Newbie here, I’ve always been into urban exploring as a kid but not really done it for 15 years! Now I’m 36 but wanting to go a bit more especially to get those steps in. Went to otterburn last weekend and had a decent run out. Can anybody recommend somewhere...

Looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to explore and adventure together in Scotland and Northern England. If you are interested, please send me a private message. Cheers

Lots of buildings and wards now empty awaiting demolition security on site but are not really interested

So here it is, the final report* on the remaining Headstocks in the UK! *I'll probably have missed something else, so there may be more in future 🤔 Part 1 - Here Part 2 - Here Part 3 - Here I'm aware of another three that are underground; Bwlch Glas which I mentioned in Part 1 The Sir Francis...

Well I've been here many a time, on my most recent visit the orangry has been burned yo the ground and the newer part of the building has been re borded up. Not gonna bother with the history as its soo well reported on but here's some pics.

Was up here visiting mootlaw quarry when I drove past a funny looking mound. To my delight it was an roc post in cracking condition too.
