Barking B Control room is one of the few parts left of the original Barking Power Station. The control room is now surrounded by shipping containers, undeveloped lots, constructions sites and some rather lonely looking flats. I had been planning a visit to this control room as it looked like a...

I am new to this exploration of abandoned locations and was inspired to start searching for local locations.

Introduction This site has been around for years, I was very surprised when I found out it had been disused since the seventies, it has fared very well. It has been posted numerous times before but became quite popular again last year and decided to take a look with @Wastelandr. He had visited...

Visited twice once with @GRONK @Shaun & @sam8327 then with @GRONK & @sam8327 , the first visit was an expedition avoiding drops & fighting through vegetation the second visit was a lot easier as we found an alternative way well worth the effort. Winnington B was a dual heat & power station...

This is absolutely one of the places I should have explored a great many years ago but simply didn't. I actually first looked at it wayyyyyy back in 2011 when I was last exploring anything on the Wirral peninsula, however back then found the fence had recently been patched up, so moved on to...
