On Saturday we spent a full day in a mine we've now visited 3 times between us, Red Rake in the Derwent valley. Our aim was to get to the very bottom, but as it turns out, this mine still has potentially vast areas for us to return to explore, including incredibly beautiful flooded tunnels that...

We had a wander round this place a couple of months ago while it was doing the rounds again. It's right on our doorstep but one we had never gotten round to. Red Bank Secure Unit, part of Red Bank Community Home, was one of several English Local Authority Secure Children’s homes located in...

Explore - One of the best places I’ve manage to explore to date. The buildings are still in great shape and you can see the amount of items left untouched. We actually went back a second time after our first explore being in the dark and our torch dying on us. Great to finally find a place...

The History: This one was a little hard to track down information on, but it seems to have been built in the 1960s as that's the first time it appears on maps. Interestingly it was labelled "Red House Hostel": Seemingly this building was always intended to house multiple people, but I couldn't...

The "Red Banner" swimming complex (also called "Red Flag") is located southeast of the center and is a huge sports center that has been abandoned since 2012. "Red Banner" was built for the 17th European Swimming Championships in 1985 and was the largest and most modern swimming facility in the...

The Red Pool Dont really have any history on this one but it is what it is.. a small town lido pool that has sadly closed due to lack of interest & high running costs I guess. This was one from a Eu trip with @Priority 7, this incredibly easy to access explore ironically was the only one we...

So I've just been flicking back through past pictures, taking a look where my urbex forays began. My interest started probably much like a lot of the pre-social media folk - accidentally stumbling across something abandoned, and after visiting more places, realising there was something called...

THE PREAMBLE This was my first proper draining trip, which also happened to be my first sewer exploration. I was accompanied by a family member who had (as far as I understood) done that kind of stuff before, plus I've spent reasonable lengths of time in underground spaces in an official...

(1) The History Located just under a mile south of the Derbyshire village of Calver, not an enormous amount of history is available on this small lead mine. It was first worked in the 19th Century and is associated with two periods of intense mining activity: namely the early 1850s and the first...

This explore was probably my favourite from this trip and I will most definitely go back if I am ever back in the area. We travelled into the mountains on a surprisingly rather miserable weather day for Italy. After battling through the overgrown trees and bushes, we came to the building. I...

HISTORY Red Dragon has aroused considerable interest on account of the full scale trials for gold in the 1850’s using an unusual form of amalgamating machine, and also because the site was lost until the late 20th century. It is about two miles south west of Dinas Mawddwy and in keeping with...

Over the winter I am going to try and visit a few of our world war two sites in Norfolk. Rather than travelling too much around the country going to the same old well trodden places with the day's getting shorter. So these barns are not really British World War Two sites or are they abandoned...

Draining is an aspect of urbex we haven't tried upto now so we thought we'd dip our toes in quite literally. We started off by having a wonder through the red rock culvert as we were in the area hunting for remains of coal mining and were walking the route of the Lancashire Union railway through...
