Me and man gone wrong decided to give the longbridge tunnels a little look. A few years back we stumbled on the east works tunnel entrance as we were looking for a way in the car plant. We had a quick look in but water was high, and we were not equipped. We said we would go back tothe east side...

I think nearly everyone and his doggo went here so i never posted a report at the time. The first 2 shots are of the last Mini to leave Longbridge which I'm sure some of you photographed in situ about a decade before. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_sam/albums/72157713876836322

For the final explore of the day with @Brewtal in Birmingham, we ended up in the infamous Shadow Factory Tunnels. History "The ‘Shadow Factory Tunnels’ are the remnants of Lord Austin’s secret plans that were hatched to bolster British military might in the face of German military aggression...

Visited with @Grom at the end of a day out in the Brum. Good to have a long overdue catch up with you! History (yoinked as usual): The ‘Shadow Factory Tunnels’ are the remnants of Lord Austin’s secret plans that were hatched to bolster British military might in the face of German military...

Longbridge Rover Shadow Factory Introduction: Evening all, I know @mattdonut has just put up a report from here, so this may seem a little same old but I wanted to share my experience of the place. It's somewhere I've been meaning to visit for a long time, which is usually the case for me...

GKN Shadow Building, Birmingham. Our first report is of a fairly well known set of buildings in Birmingham that is on it's way to becoming completely demolished. Being new to Urban Exploration, this is the first site we have visited successfully and are looking for other people around the...

Thanks to Altair for this one. The surface buildings were unremarkable, but it is the underground labyrinth of tunnels that make this place. After the large cavern that was a huge safe, we came across a room that wouldn’t have been out of place for a torture scene in a ‘Saw’ movie. I didn’t...

GKN Shadow Factory Tunnels Visited with RaisinWing and 4lex So it was that time of year again when the Warley Model Railway Exhibition is held at the NEC and I debate whether to make the pilgrimage or not (mock all you like, trainz are cool yo!) Anyway I arranged to meet Raisin there and...

I Visited this location with klee666 and Rizlex and gained access easily thanks to directions from PopPunkJamie, thanks again. we spent around 4-5 hours in there and the pictures I have posted are only a fraction of what we took. We explored most of the underground tunnels which are vast, and...

First of all, thanks to those who made this possible, and those who set up the tealights ;) visited on a few trips with several friends and met a few down here, been waiting to go here for a while now and it still amazes me to how big this place is! Short Brothers plc is an aerospace...

Firstly thanks to Dweeb for inviting us along and showing us around :) Explored with Dweeb, Speed and CatVStyle. I was a little bit more on edge at the beginning of this one and not because of the splore... but because its the first time I had taken other people in my Landy after the fuel...

Visited with JasperB and thanks to Dweeb Dweeb had mentioned this one to us, so we headed back down to Birmingham to check it out. It was a fun explore, lots to see and plenty of sticky oil seeping out of every nook and cranny. We spent a bit of time also looking around the remains above...

Visited with JasperB and thanks to Dweeb I've always wanted to visit Longbridge so it was great to finally get to see a bit of it. Massive thanks to Dweeb for giving us a heads up on this and loaning us some wellies. It was a great night and something that will have to be repeated in...

This was our second location of the Day of My birthday explore which was kindly arranged by Spaceinvader as the original plans went tits up so big thanks mate :thumb Visited with Obscurity & Spaceinvader This is a massive set of tunnels under the original factory site of which not much...

This is by far one of my favourite places I have been to, which is odd as I try and avoid underground stuff a fair bit! It used to form part of the enormous Guest, Keen & Nettlefold Screws & Fasteners factory in Smethwick, most of the factory has been flattened or is used as industrial...
