A while back a publisher approached me wanting to do book on Sheffield dereliction. So after some thought, I agreed. At first I hesitated as I know it could be seen as selling out by some. And after some more consideration, have decided to post it up on here. It's now gone up on Kickstarter and...

Hello there, the other day we visited Roche Rock in Cornwall. It’s not too far from St Austell, a place full of quarries I may have to visit while I’m down here;). Anyway, Roche Rock is a chapel on top on a giant rock that became the home to a group of holy men wanting to banish demonic forces...

I wasn't sure about Nettleham Hall to begin with because I heard it's just ruins and not worth it, but it's not a bad place for a nice chilled out explore. It was impossible to find on Google maps but once I got to the gates I knew where I was. It would have been a nice place to visit when...
