    Introduction and first report - Medlars scrap yard, norfolk

    Hi there just wanted to get started on here as I’ve now gone on a couple of walk abouts around my local area. Already feeling like I’m going to be an addict! We visited Medlars scrap during the day last month and wasn’t sure what to expect but I was amazed at how much was actually left behind...

    Report - Blakeley's Recycling Ltd - Abandoned Bus Scrap Yard in Platt Bridge, Wigan - May 2022

    Not much history to be found on this which is odd because it's just sat there in town completely accessible. You'd think there would be a dozen news articles about it being an eye-sore or dangerous. I guess Wigan people are just a bit different? (I married into this community 20 years ago so I'm...

    So this one I can’t confirm that it’s definitely unused as it has an entry way on a road. But I’ve been several times now and it’s never changed besides this one time I found the remains of a weed farm From trying to work out who it belongs to and anything about it all I’ve found it that it...

    Report - C.W. Cuff Motor Parts & Salvage, Norwich - June 2019

    So this is a pretty interesting one, and though, sadly I wasn't able to get into the house/main building it still proved to be a really fascinating explore, full of unusual bits and trinkets in amidst the debris. I hadn't realised this until writing the report, but the house part of this site...

With a mass variety of things...

    Report - Shepherd's Scrap Metal, Newcastle, Oct 2012

    Whilst out visiting the Biscuit Factory in Byker with Magpie423, we decided to have a look at this place. Luckily I had my camera, unluckily I did not have much battery charge left :-(. Could not find any history on the place apart from it suffering a MAJOR fire in May 2011. Pics...

    Visited with LiamCH and a non-member. This place is basically a live scrap yard which specialises in scrapping railway rolling stock. As someone who has travelled on the trains they are currently scrapping all my life, I had to go there to see them in their final resting place. The part of...

    Report - Plane Scrap Yard, Hampshire, July 2011

    After a failed attempt with going to see an old aircraft museum (its all been taken away now) I used good old Google maps to locate another possible Explore.
