Ah, The Balkans, where to begin... it's my favorite area of the world, and everytime I get the chance to travel,I try to tick one of those countries off the list. This time it was a quick 4-day trip to Bosnia. While doing some research about potential urbex sites I came across some pretty famous...

This is my first report, I hope you enjoy it and I’m open to feedback. My welcome post seems to have disappeared, but I did post one yesterday. Just as a brief introduction, I’m an architect from Brighton and I’ve been interested in exploring buildings for many years, especially ones of...

(This is my first report so dont expect much. If there are any questions or tips just DM me. Enjoy) History (I couldn't find much history, sources: Derelict London) Situated in the London Borough of Barnet almost on the border with Hertfordshire this sports facility started out as the post-war...

I know March is a while off but worth keeping an eye on: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/devastating-closure-kimberley-sports-centre-8957336?int_source=nba It looks like a big site, really hope they do something useful with it.

Richard Dunne Sports Centre The Richard Dunn Sports Centre, named after the famous boxer who fought Muhammed Ali in 1976, originally Odsal Sports Centre, was designed by myself Trevor Skempton, as part of a team in the office of Owen Perry, Bradford City Architect until 1974. Gordon Elliot...

The history Built in 1974 and named after the local boxer who fought Muhammad Ali this building earmarked for demolition has recently been given Grade II listed status. It features a very striking “big top” aspect to its massive dome interior that houses multiple rooms for various sports...

I've visited Magnet Leisure Centre a total of three times now. It's clearly a bit of a hotspot now since the last two reports back in late 2021. On all three occasions I bumped into several other explorers (fortunately the friendly, respectful kind). The place is pretty huge and in a varying...

So, I have very little history on this place other than it shut recently.. It didn't reopen in April after lockdown I believe. Two newspaper reports say different reasons one has that it was lease renewal issues. The other states : "In the email, Sports Direct Fitness wrote: "As we prepare to...

I'll start by stating this is far from an epic location. We noticed it was accessible while passing on the train and thought it looked like an interesting building. Sadly it's been completely blanked on the inside and no original features remain. Posting it mainly for the interest of anyone...

I first spotted this place back in October on the way back from picking your own pumpkin but I wasn't sure if you could get into it - then I forgot about it until I saw another explore ( @Chloe Explores ) got in .. So after i saw this i though ill head down to the social club my self on a late...

so nice to be able to get out exploring again even if the weather was terrible. with @Chloe Explores this place was just off the road in a big field and from the graffiti outside and the fact it was open you’d think the inside would also be covered but it was surprisingly minimal. it was...

In the centre of a working class community. This sports centre was a hub of activities all year round. I personally remember going to Nike football camps in the summer (I wasn't any good, it was just something to do) Build in 1978 and refurbed in 2009 you'd think this was still an active sports...

My first ever report and actually my first proper exploration in general. It was amazing, and very easy once I had found the way in (not gonna say much, but trust me, there is a great way in. also dont trust the ways you see on google earth, they have since been reinforced with barbed wire)...

Here’s a explore next to one of my others again it was a night club that shut down in the early 2000’s I think I don’t know and can’t find much history on this place but I do know that the basement we got into was intact one of the old under ground shops on Neville street in Southport, You can...
