pier

I managed to get out for a few hours to do some exploring. And thought I would go visit this old railway line in the middle of Greenock, just outside Glasgow. Getting on to the line was simple enough and then walking it submerged below ground level in the embankments and tunnels. Greenock has...

Gravesend West Street Pier is the only remnant surviving of Gravesend West Railway Station. This station served as the terminus of the Gravesend West Line, with the platform and station situated on the raised structure that continued out onto the pier in the River Thames. The first station on...

This is another occasion where Myself and @Sausages, thought we’d try and find something new in Dover that hasn’t been done for a while, so we did exactly that. I must first point out that security has changed in the last few months so I wouldn't expect this to be a simple walk in exercise...

This pier has a lot of history so I'll try to keep it simple. It opened on the 5th of June 1867. Improvements were made and things like trams, life boat houses and jetty were added. There was a fire in 1897 which damaged the main building. A new pavilion and low water jetty was build a couple of...

I'm sure some that will know of the 'hidden' ww2 communication bunkers dotted around the coastline, the remaining sections of railway, tunnels and various other structures from the 50/60's along with multiple smuggling and mining tunnels that are within the North Devon area. I'm looking for...

If this report doesn't meet the standards, feel free to take it down. Explored with a non-member on a dismal day. There was an abandoned supertube on the same grounds which was our original target, as our contact had explained that there was a weak spot in the perimeter fence. But when we...

This is my debut report on the forum, it's not a major site, just temporarily one of the highest places in Medway (Kent). I initially went on my own to check the site out, then one visit with @Maniac (discovering more of the blocks and climbing the tallest of the two tower cranes) and have since...

There is a new venture to save the Pier. I thought it needed to be seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnkrEaQWMJg&feature=youtu.be #Birnbeckpier Urbex Birnbeck by Carol Jadzia, on Flickr

Cut off from land for the last 34 years the T shaped pier head which is approximately ¾ of a mile from the coast originally served as a docking point for paddle steamers that took trips to Southend Pier in Essex. In January 1978 and February 1979 storm’s caused part of the pier to collapse...

Birnbeck Pier, Weston Super Mare, Somerset, October 2011. What better way to spend a sunny, Sunday afternoon, than racing against a rising tide on an abandoned and rapidly decaying Victorian pier! This was enormous fun, and a really enjoyable afternoon, much to the amusement of the...

Right, so after an eventful - read bloody - day with SynthetiK LogiK, we made our way to Vesta Oil Depot - LogiK's report should be up soon - where I came to a realization about the purpose of this site. I don't believe it was used for oil storage, more tanker cleaning and oil reclaimation after...
