Hey everyone, so I know people don't like giving out their spots out of fear of vandalism(i 100% get that) but I'm new to urbexing and I know litterly no one who does urbexing in oxford so it'd be great if anyone could give me some spots/ tell me how to find them myself. If you don't want to...
Im from around oxford and am new to urbex. I've been interested in history for as long as I can remember and I've finally decided to start exploring it in person.
I try to keep on top of all local explores; but this one seemed to slip me by for the almost 13 years it has been closed! Not much about it, except that it had been closed since 2009 (actually 2010 going by the final parties it had in the early part of that year) and is up for development by...
This little local site has been cheekily hiding right under my nose, 20 minutes walk from my house, for as long as I've been exploring. It's so tucked away I never even noticed it before, and looking at it from the air it simply looks like a long shed type building at the back of some houses. It...
This is going to take a very different form to my usual slap-em-up posts, this location I have sat on for two and a half years near enough, and a recent revisit showed the house to be completely gutted and stripped so it's about time this pretty incredible tale of an incredible family saw the...
I last explored a derelict building in my home town over three years ago, that's how rarely new things come up here. Even though this isn't the greatest location in the world it's only a few miles from my house - I originally scoped it out late last year but found it sealed, after seeing...
Hi all
I've been spending a lot of time in oxford and have no one in the area to hit anywhere up with so wondered if there was anyone on here up for meeting up.
if there's any doubts about having just made a random post like this i have plenty of past ones you can look back on...
Oxford isn't known for 'big' things. It's got ancient archaic laws governing the heights of buildings in the city centre, and the main sewer system is similarly on the smaller end of the spectrum with apparently the largest sections being only a metre in height, so not conducive for good...
Another place from the archives I never got around to posting for one reason or another. I was always kind of reticent to post this one up before as although the building was disused, and hadn't been used for about five years by the time I visited, it wasn't really 'abandoned' as such, as it was...
18 year old noob here
Found a cool crane that's climable
It isn't too tall but looks really cool in any case. Got cameras but hit it up at night?
Anyone down?
This time I made it to the top, the tower itself was shaking loads, but I got some cool shots on the way there.
I then wanted some more, so I dangled my feet off of the ledge, and there was when I finally got over my fear of heights :thumb

First came here with some mates (thanks to ...
This was our first visit to this site. This is the 5th site we have visited in the UK so still fairly new to the urbex community. Looking forward to posting many more visits on here in the near future!
History
The mock-Tudor building was originally built in 1874. Purchased by Ian Gillan of Deep...
Carmel College was a predominantly Jewish co-educational boarding school in England operating between 1948 and 1997. It was first situated at Greenham Common near Newbury and then at Mongewell Park near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. It was one of Europe's only 2 Jewish boarding schools, the other...
I'm sure everyone out there has local places that they like to keep half an eye on from time to time, places that have eluded you in the past but you keep checking 'just in case'.
This is one of those places. In a county that is extremely sparse for abandonments, finding out that this school...
History

MORE OF A MINI-REPORT.
I ended up here by accident- I was supposed to be at a quarry that got knocked down (I posted about it as "The One That Got Away") :) My friend saved the day by directing me to another abandoned site in Oxfordshire. It's completely hidden from the road and I wouldn't have...
After seeing some info on a closed royal mail depot we decided to head to oxford seeing as both the depot and the pools where 5 mins apart..
We Left nice and early. And after a long drive we arrived at the royal mail depot. However we decided to wait it out after driving into the depot car park...
Temple Cowley Swimming Pool, Oxford, England - August 2016
I'd been wanting to do this one for a while now and had failed on a number of occasions getting in. It's only 20 or so miles from me in Cowley, Oxford.
The place was surprisingly untrashed given its two or so year closure, but...
Decided to go to Oxford with non-member after reading some good reports etc. Left early, found everything gone except this gem. I loved this place, just my kinda thing. A bit small, but plenty of time can be spent here.
Oxford council decided to sell it off for £3.5m and it closed 23rd December...
