Thought I’d upload this, one of the first places I done when I got into this hobby. When I was digging around for some history, I can see you can hire the nunnery out to do ghost hunts. History “The Nunnery” in Malvern (the Convent of the Holy Name, Ranelagh Road) is a late-19th / early-20th...

Wilden is a small Bedfordshire village, the sort of place that has held onto its character for centuries. Alongside its parish church, it also had a Nonconformist tradition, reflected in this Baptist chapel. It is no longer in regular use, but the building remains, carrying with it a sense of...

Hi all! Yes, I know this is a UK forum-I've just moved to London! But I thought I'd start with a post from back home as 1) I don't have any good explores in the UK yet, 2) It's a great one to share, and 3) I wanted to show a bit of seriousness/experience in urbexing. All that out of the way...

Introduction This was one of many places me and Jake wanted to do on our recent trip to Merseyside. It’s been posted numerous times in the past including by Jake a few months back, but I thought I’d post my stance on it aswell as I really liked the place. Reports on here date back to almost a...

We saw a lot of abandoned buildings, but we have never imagined collecting them in one place. In Częstochowa, the Polish city known from the religious cult, we found an amazing park of the religious miniatures. You can find there St Peter's Basilica near Gate Of Dawn, Catacombs and Mary's House...

My first post so apologies if it’s not up to scratch. Not strictly a monastery but wasn’t sure what else to call it. I’ve been inside numerous times in the last 4 years and it hasn’t changed much at all so I don’t think it’s a well known place - I’m therefore reluctant to name it. It’s an...

History: This place has been covered multiple times and there is a lot of history on google so I don't want to just copy and paste a big stream of text again. as a quick overview St Joseph's College is a former Roman Catholic seminary. The foundation of the large building was laid in April...

A couple of weeks ago, I went up to Scotland to visit my Brother. He lives in Falkirk, about 23 miles from Edinburgh. Before I went, I looked for any abandoned places I could visit and came across St. Peter's Seminary in Cardross. Luckily it was about an hour's car ride from Falkirk so we...

Not much history on this weirdly superb explore, situated in the rolling hills of Scotland, a country estate owner created a mini religious haven / retreat for himself. This small report is over 3 of the buildings within the estate, first up... The Garden Room The Chapel...

This old college was a religious secondary school built in a religious “commune†solely by volunteer labour missionaries in the 1950’s who worked for the church. The school has a huge American influence as you can tell by the pictures, it is huge! The amount of things left...
