    Report - ROF Bishopton Part Two, Scotland..January 2025

    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...

    Report - ROF Bishopton, Scotland..December 2024

    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...

    Report - Remains of ROF Pembre, Carmarthenshire 5/22-3/24

    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...

    Report - Silverfish Pumping Station & ROF Bridgwater Reservoir/Treatment Works, Puriton June 2021

    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...

    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...

    Report - ROF Featherstone, Feb 2017

    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.

    Question - ROF Brigwater

    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.
