I don’t normally do a part two on reports, I usually like to do it all in one go, or an updated report. But Bishopton is such a classic place in the UK, I felt it deserved more. The reason for my second part is that on my initial visit last year I got a section done but things went a bit pear...

This is a place I have known about for a long time, and a place I should have got to earlier. But my visits to Scotland don’t really involve much exploring. But the better half had to work, so I decided to give this place a look with my free time to see what’s left. Looking at various maps it...

I had a day in sunny Rochdale and because my new drone just fits in camera bag I decided to have a fly around the huts at ROF Healey Hall My camera has decided to no longer see the SD cards so I lost half the pics I took so these are all from my phone or the Dji Neo It was a nice way to spend an...

History (Taken from History of Pembrey) The sand dunes not only provided an effective screen but also minimised any possible damage in the event of an explosion. It is hardly surprising therefore, that the area attracted the producers of gun powder as early as 1882. Dynamite & TNT were produced...

I was of the opinion that all of ROF Bridgwater was gone. A quick scout at where it once stood on google maps reveals a wasteland of demolished buildings over a vast area, however I spotted a couple of things of potential interest left behind and, as I was heading down to the westcountry...

Another world war 2 explore as were a bit fascinated with the subject at the min. We've done our best to research the site but apologies in advance if we've misidentified anything. History - Built in 1941 the Royal Ordnance factory at Healey Hall was designated as an assisted factory with...

History - ROF Standish was one of many Royal ordinance factories built at the start of world war 2 to assemble ammunition and weapons for the war effort. Each ROF factory specialised in specific types of ammunition and ROF Standish made .303 rounds most notably used in the chain fed machine guns...

Drive along the M56 past Stanlow oil refinery and you can’t help but notice a few red brick structures in the fields. They look like typically dull WW2 storage sheds, and this is exactly what they are. Info summarised from...

Site has being virtually demolished and cleared by DSM.

Location added - Ordnance The history of this ROF is well documented elsewhere: There were four different types of munitions factory: Engineering factories producing the metal casings for bombs and shells or, in some instances, producing parts, rifles, guns and tanks. Small-arms factories...

It’s only taken me a year to write up my first report but here it goes, any tips would be appreciated as I’m new to exploring and photography ROF Featherstone history Royal Ordnance Factory Featherstone was filling factory No.17, covering just over 64 hectares, the factory used to specialise...

This is my first exploration I chose it as it's close to my house, I'd like to go again to see a few more of the buildings in the woods. Here goes abit more about the place: ROF Wrexham during WW2 the site employed 13,000 workers. The factory made cordite, an explosive propellent for shells...

Tried out the my new drone at this old site. It offered up a different perspective on the remains of the ROF factory site. It also presented its own problems being close to a trio of prisons. Despite demolition being planned for August 2015, the site lingers on.

Greetings, Here is a video featuring some photos from my trip to ROF Featherstone, Ammunition Filling Factory NO.7 The place is beyond repair and is a complete tip, i am aware the site will be turned into a housing estate. I hope you all enjoy. P.S. Its in 4K

Good Evening All, Im just curious to know if anyone has access to some photos of ROF Featherstone when it was open and running? I cant seem to find any online but any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ben

ROF History (Source: Wikipedia) Royal Ordnance Factories (ROFs) was the collective name of the UK government's munitions factories in and after World War II. Until privatisation in 1987 they were the responsibility of the Ministry of Supply and later the Ministry of Defence. The majority of...

Did anyone do this? Just came across it on a power gen map. Closed in 2008, big old place, and from what I can find was flattened in 2012 with the use of explosives. Hoping that the power station may still be there if its listed on power gen maps, or, its merely a sub station.

These tunnels are a bit dodgy. In places they're collapsing, there is asbestos, and I left a poo in the second set of tunnels :D

The Royal Ordnance Factory was a WW2 Ministry of Supply Explosive Factory. The factory was built to manufacture the propellant cordite for the British Army and the Royal Air Force. It also later on produced cordite for the Royal Navy. It was the biggest munitions factory the MOD had, with up to...

Not much left of this place im afraid, just a few blast walls and some slighty offsite ammo dumps, i ventured out here after a friend of mine who used to go shooting out that way told me there was a decent size network of bunkers underneth the site, unfortunatle most of the site has been since...
