Sheerness Steelworks was a steelworks in Sheerness, north Kent, the first phase of which was built in 1971 and it was completed and opened in 1972. The steelworks employed the Electric Arc Method of creating steel rather than the more traditional smelting of iron ore. The site closed twice, for...

Once again, it was troll imitation time, back under the bridged we go! On a rather dreary, wet October's morning, myself and @James Cross found ourselves scratching our heads for ideas of what to do for our next outing. And after being stuck inside all week due to the atrocious weather, I think...

Land on the Isle of Sheppy was acquired in 1968 by the Sheerness Steel Company and work on a steelworks began. Built within the Garrison Town surrounding Sherness Naval Dockyard, the first steel was produced in 1972 and production continued for the next thirty years. In 2003 the site was sold...

This is our second visit to Thames Steel, it was far too big to do in a day! we felt like we needed to make the 6 Hour round trip to go again. after a long drive down we arrived and it didn't look like a thing had changed - maybe the Tour Bus hadn't arrived yet? ;) we ventured through the site...

This place has had more traffic than Kerry Katona and it is not hard to see why. Industrial heavy weight nourishment at every turn and so much to digest. With a strong sunlight finding gaps in the broken roof and highlighting machinery beautifully, this really did feel like mooching heaven :) :)...

This is a fantastic site and I would urge anyone to get there before it's gone. Easily the most intact industrial site I've seen since Pyestock and pretty vast at that. We spent a good few hours wondering the site and I would think I could go again for another good few hours and come away with a...

Well its been a few weeks since I posted, and about 6 weeks since I visited here with 3 exploring friends from various forums (Liam_CH, Els and a Bengley). I have wanted to crack this site for a very long time, so it was nice to get it done on a sunny April weekend The site is located in...

Hello chaps, been a long, long time since I've posted on here! Only been about four years since my last report... So forgive me if my writeup skills are a little rusty! Thamesteel is a large former foundry and steel rolling site in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, which at the time of...

A few weeks after visiting thames steel for the 1st time I decided I fancied popping back with a few mates who were eager to see it, so we decided to head on down again and show them around and bag a few more images. This time the experience was a little different. Last time we did not see...

When the Steel mill closed in 2012 I knew there and then that I wanted to get inside it and check it out. But little did I know that due to my lazy ass and work schedule it would be 2 years later when I would walk in the door and my jaw would drop on the floor in pure amazement of the scale of...

This is my first post on the forum, I guess I could start with a brief presentation. In advance I’m sorry for the poorness of my English, I am learning and improving myself every day. I have 29, come from France, Brittany more exactly, and I recently moved in London for working matters...

Thamesteel Visited with Chaos and non member Markymark History Thamesteel, in Sheerness Kent was a steel foundry until January 2012. The owners of the plant went into administration and workers came to work to be told that they no longer had a job. Nothing has happened since that day...

Thamesteel - Sheerness This is a large and interesting complex, located at the northern end of a tight triangular junction with the Sheerness-on-Sea branch. First proposed in 1969, the construction of Sheerness Steel Works was given the go-ahead in 1971, building work beginning in that...
