shoreham

Hello all! First report so please be gentle... It's been a few months since my last explore and I recently got the itch again, so I decided to take a trip down to these old cement works to see what the fuss is all about. This is definitely up there with one of the harder (but most exciting)...

Hi there everyone I’ve recently become very interested in urban exploration and seen as I live so close to shoreham I figured this is the best place to start. All I really know is that there are massive drops that I need to look out for if I don’t want to plummet to my death so I could do with...

So as we come to the end of another year; this was my last proper explore this year; its been such a slow one for various reasons, but I'm gonna try and get out there again soon before the end of the year! I've had a lot of other things on this year but I am still raring to go. This was a nice...

Hi guys, Please excuse this post if its bad (it's my first one) Just realised there have been no updates about the bunker so if anyone was thinking of going, this is what you should know. I went there last Friday and all the doors/entrances were sealed including emergency ones. Also the farmer...

Shoreham Cement Works, Sussex - May 2021 The Explore So after two successes in and around Canterbury; myself and @Dragon_Urbex retired nice and early after a Fish and Chip dinner, and went to sleep around 9pm for the next days outing. It was a big one, an old favourite from the urbex...

To start off, this is a site that has been on my to-do list for many years, all the way back since 2014 when I saw a news article about the site’s proposed redevelopment ideas. I finally managed to explore it on May Bank Holiday in 2021 with @Landie_Man. We woke early on the day of the explore...

This is one place I had always wanted to see but never did. Me and man gone wrong had tried it a couple of years back with no luck. But this time we were a bit more lucky. We spent a good four hours here. Till we heard a shout and a security man telling us we had to go. Thankfully we had just...

Back to the archives of my Dropbox as we can't go out again! Went here back in 2008 on a little jaunt around Sussex for the day with a few other explorers! Quite liked it here, massive an cavernous but interesting nonetheless. I would like to go back at some point. History: The Beeding...

I'd like to prelude this report with a brief apology for my recent inactivity. With the resurgence of educational establishments combined with work, I've been totally snowed under and unable to get out much at all or write many reports. I will return in the very near future to frequent explores...

History The site of the Cement works has been used in limestone and cement production all the way since the 18th century and was the first location in the UK to use Vickers Armsrong Kilns. The earliest recording, I could find, of the quarry's existence was from 1725 where it was only a small...

Introduction - The well documented Shorehame Cement Works, what a goodie! Me and my good friend Tom Ellis have been looking at this building from the outside for nearly 5 years, we decided to take the dive and here is what we have to show for it. Just to add, the background is that we went on...
