So this was one that has been on my radar for quite a while, but with it being right on the high street I never had much hope of getting in so it was never something I was too keen on attempting. After a failed attempt at exploring an abandoned hospital nearby though, me and my friends thought...

Me and a friend made our way into grays state cinema to see how it is after its recent ceiling repair in Spring of this year, the main room is now pitch black, with us using our camera flash in order to light the place up along with torches, the basement isn't accessible to my knowledge due to...

The listed cinema was opened in 1938 as one of the most modern of its kind. It seated 2,200 people and the opening film was “The Hurricane.” The construction cost £100,000 and 20 houses had to be demolished. The cinema had air conditioning and a lighted Compton organ. There was also the...

History The building itself was designed by architect F. G. M. Chancellor who had been bequeathed Frank Matcham & Co., from Matcham upon his death in 1920. Chancellor also owned Frederick's Electric Theatres Company. The State Cinema was built at a cost of £100,000 and twenty houses in George...

The State Cinema, Grays, Essex - September 2023 Now I know what you’re all thinking! Another report of another Tour Bus site; but it is one I’ve wanted to see since probably most of today’s Instagram Explorers were probably in Primary School! I had seen the reports all those years back and...

Haven’t posted in a while due to family stuff and the fact I’ve been to a few soggy derps not worthy of posting on here. Heard this was literally wide open so went off with Ella one sunday morning to have a look. Of course, the tour bus was there but we all kept to ourselves and did a lot of...

So rewind over a month ago and there I am just finishing up editing the photos, ready to do a post when boom, my pc decides to spontaneously shut down instantly and fails to turn on. Brilliant! Well, 6 weeks and nearly £600 later, here I am editing the last 3 I had left! Thankfully the pc is...

I am going to put my neck on the line here and say, even in it's current condition, the State Cinema is the best example of a derelict cinema in the country, a position it seems to have always held ever since the early 2010 reports surfaced of an unbelievable space. Be under no illusions, it's...

Derelict Finnish Locomotive #1077 After seeing an article on the internet mentioning this 'Harry Potter train hidden mysteriously in the Suffolk woodlands' I decided I would have a go at finding the location. About 15 minutes spent online, and browsing a couple of old railway forums sent me...

Had this one to visit for quite a while, then it suddenly appeared in the newspaper last year and named “ the Harry Potter train” :D. Was going to visit withJake and Dan but they stitched me up and sneaked off to see it themselves the rotters ;). So the next week me and my trustworthy mates...

Introduction I’ve had this one pinned for the best part of a year but for some reason, I just never got around to doing it until now. It’s certainly something a bit different, especially for East Anglia. Visited with @V50jake. Information & History Located at a business park a few miles from...

Hey my name is Jordan and I am extremely into urban exploration and am wondering if there is anyone who knows any abandoned places in the US? or if there is a website like this for the US? Either way I've always wanted to visit the UK and hope to link up with some explorers when I do!

On a recent date in Cambridge (7/11/22) I decided to stop off and visit the AFHQ/RGHQ/COMCEN bunker not far from 'town centre', and a lovely river walk (and a quick detour to investigate a repurposed type 22) later we finally arrived, and after shouting at my bf trying to open a door and walk in...

1. The History Molson is a ghost town in the state of Washington, USA, very close to the border with Canada. It's not as intense or concentrated as Bodie in California in my earlier archive report as the buildings are far more scattered, but in some ways that leads to its charm. The once...

This was such a crap explore everything is wrecked but its such a huge part of American culture that it was a highlight of the trip. Status: Abandoned Screens: 3 (only 2 survived by 2019) Capacity: 520 cars Original owner: Dr. Luther Grant Opening date: June 18, 1949 Final season...
