(My first report, hope its alright!) History MicroFormat UK was a document digitisation, microfilming and data entry service. They also offered microfilm scanning and microfiche scanning. MicroFormat was one of the UK's largest and oldest document conversion specialists, with over thirty-five...

Explored during a Southern Road Trip back in May, with 3 non-members (1 lift enthusiast friend!) when everything else had failed prior to this. This was very out of the way and quite a last minute explore. Thanks to @Exploring With Pride 🌈 for the details needed. The site was TRASHED to say...

The Terrence Building, part of the Rochester Psychiatric Center in New York, opened in 1959 as a 16-story psychiatric hospital. It housed over 1,000 beds and specialized departments, including a ward for the criminally insane and a morgue in the basement. Despite being initially seen as a "tower...

UCA Rochester closed in 2023 the reason was blamed on not having the £17 million needed to upgrade the landmark building on Fort Pitt Hill, high running costs and cuts in government funding the building since remained unoccupied with power still on and until recently was maintained and watched...

I am interested in this underground hospital .. I can't find too much information on it and am unsure if A) it actually exists and B) if it's assessable. If it does exist am sure it won't take too long to figure out a way in (if it's possible). Does anyone have any information on it and whom...

Visited this old mortuary with man gone wrong after a tip off from Brewtal. We never bothered trying the main hospital as we were on route to Dover for some tunnel action. I had heard it was a bit bland inside. Bit of a scramble up to get inside but was a nice example of a mortuary with a nice...

SHORTS TUNNELS KENT : JULY 2021 Attended as a guest upon invite. I will add the History blurb shortly... Please don't comment until after I have written some information about this place. I did manage to film most of it and have a 4 part youtube video covering most of the areas within.. But...

Quick bit of history: This is one of the many forts in Medway and construction started in 1808 and completed in 1812. The fort was built to run from its flanking tower Medway Tower that sat on the river right through to it's other flanking tower Maidstone Tower on Maidstone road, sadly neither...

Visited here at the beginning of 2020, not long before the pandemic changed reality for a lot of people - myself included. It was weirdly warm for a January night, and I went into the hospital with a friend who lives in the area. My aunt trained to be a nurse here back when it was active, so it...

Pretty much missed the boat on this one, the place had been all but stripped by time of our visit, so much so that the slab had been removed & stood against the wall. I dont like staging pics but hadnt come all this way to photograph it standing against a wall so the 2 of us replaced it & my god...

History: Apart from KentOnline has to offer, there is little else online regarding the history of this vessel, but here is what I managed to string together... "The Hillside", constructed in 1970 and originally built as an accommodation barge for the Dutch Navy, has just under 70 rooms and was...

Now, if anyone browses TheTimeChamber, you'll know that we love a good underground site and this obsession started with a visit to Shorts Tunnels back in 2007. Shorts Tunnel was one of the first sites we ever visited after we had been unceremoniously kicked out of Pyestock back in 2007. Being...

1903 Thomas Foord donated £5,500 to St. Barts to meet the cost of building and furnishing a nurses home to be attached to the hospital. A plaque in the new home for nurses and sisters was unveiled by the wife of Dean Hole in January 1904. A short religious service was held for its dedication...
