Went to take a look at this site yesterday, fantastic explore with endless rooms and corridors, almost a backrooms type feel. No security to speak of that I saw anyways, had to climb through one of the many broken windows which felt rather like entering through a letterbox but nevertheless, an...

Visited: 2025 For years the Gray Cancer Research Institute sat quietly behind the main buildings of Mount Vernon Hospital, its doors locked and its corridors slowly surrendering to dust, damp and decay. Once a respected centre for pioneering work in radiobiology, the building now stands as a...

Hello, my name is Fran and i’m from the Northamptonshire area. I’m new to this forum and fairly new to exploring however i have many spots i’d like to check out soon. The part i love most about exploring is trying to figure out ways to enter and being present in the moment having to use my...

My first post here, and wanted to start with a bang. I’ve seen many people talking about this place and really wanted to see for myself. Fernhurst Research Station opened in 1945, and its main purpose was to research crop protection chemicals, specifically fruits. In 1951, a conference was...

This place was a very important site in the Second World War. With the incoming plan of reoccupying Europe from the German occupying armies, a need was required for research into deceiving the enemy and to research more into radar and infrared. Twenty six were constructed around the Uk including...

History: Shamelessly adapted from Mookster. Founded in 1953 by Louis Harold Gray. It specialised in the 'oxygen effect' on the radiosensitivity of tumours. In 2006 it became a subsiadary of Oxford University and in 2008 moved to a different premise. It housed a "4 MeV heavy ion Van De Graff...

We had been told it was impossible to get in. So while in Berlin we thought we would just take some photos of the outside. But then we thought, let's just try a few ways in, as we're here... and bingo, we were in. Designed by husband and wife team, Gerd and Magdalena Hänska in the mid-1960s and...

The Institute of Seismic Durable Construction and Building Safety was designed by architect M. Mikayelyan, and constructed between 1957 and 1962. The institute works towards making buildings safer in the event of an earthquake. The largest one to happen in recent times took place in 1988...

Another stop off on a recent trip to Portugal with @host @sammydoublewhammy @Cloth Head A bio-medical research institute dating back to the late 19th Century, the facility was started by an eminent Portuguese academic in the fields of biology and medicine after visiting biomed research...

History The institute was founded as the Gray Laboratory at Mount Vernon Hospital by Louis Harold Gray in 1953 as the world's first radiobiological institute. It houses a unique Van de Graaff accelerator. Early research was mainly focused on the oxygen effect to improve the radio sensitivity of...

One from earlier this year.. NOT ABANDONED !! #HISTORYRESEARCH I wanted to find or find evidence of tunnels in Southend on Sea.. We already know that there are some repurposed cold war shelters and also that the EKCO Radio/Plastics site "had" extensive tunnels.. and other local tunnels are...

We was not too sure what to expect from here, it's not a huge site either. But it turned out to be a really interesting site and we spent quite a lot of hours here. With labs and lots off greenhouses filled with so much random stuff it made for an enjoyable relaxed visit. Actually surprused it...

Introduction Whilst clearing out the several hundred gigabytes of old and useless files I came across several old files containing images of this place. Having started exploring here and having spent many weekends and afternoons making an arse of myself here, I decided there should be enough...

Hi everyone, I write YA novels and my next book is going to have a main character who is into urban exploring. If anyone would be willing to have an email chat with me I would be really grateful. The character, Zak, will be about 17. I'd like to make sure I get the language and motives behind...

The NIRD - National Institute for Research in Dairying - was originally a small institute located in Reading which conducted research into the physiology of lactation and ruminant nutrition. However they were unable to conduct any large scale research given the constraints of their site so in...
