stoke on trent

May 2026 Did this one over three separate visits accompanied by @raisinwing, @MotionlessMike, @mingerocket and @dweeb over the different visits, two of which were in the daylight and another after dark, somehow managing to make Hanley town centre look quite pretty. Initially we were in Hanley...

Newb in stoke on Trent if there's anyone local knows of any decent spots round the local area looking for new adventures there's only so much time I can spend trecking hills and Forrest's haha

November 2025 I visited this place with @Mr Budge during a weekday lunchtime. I know Goldenhill pretty well, and there are a few spots in the area I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while. Still, I’m slightly ashamed to admit that—even though this chapel sits barely 50 metres from another derp I...

The Explore. This one was a bit of a do I don't I type of place, I had my eye on this place as seen online it was closing down then just as it was closing they got rescued then a month later the workers where sent home and it closed< I was in the area and thought id go have a look not expecting...

July 2024 This one had been on the list for a very long time. I finally had the pleasure of ticking it off with @Mr Budge one summer evening last year. After easily finding our way into the vast grounds of the colliery, we made our way to the area where we believed the Underground Experience...

As I was being subjected to a day up Hanley I thought it best to make the most of a bad situation and try a few doors on a few of the many dilapidated buildings in this wonderful place. My main target was a none starter but this place looked promising. The History... Ringway House emerged...

April 2025 I visited with @MotionlessMike and @raisinwing after a flop at a nearby pottery works, we had a quick mooch round but didn't really shoot anything at the time . The building was a strange blend of decay and restoration. Some areas, especially in the upper office sections, showed...

February 2025 Visited with @MotionlessMike, we stopped in at Wade after exploring a nearby drain. It was my first time visiting, despite several failed attempts around 2015/16. The site had completely slipped my mind even though it's only a 20-minute drive from my house. I've just bought a new...

Last week, I was sent a screenshot of a facebook post showing that, at long last, Weatherby was in fact under demolition. It felt like a heavy loss upon reflecting it... a building that has been embedded in the very heart of exploring in Stoke on Trent, the building that refused to die. Towards...

March 2023 The Visit Exploring this place with @stranton and @coolboyslim was quite an adventure. To be honest, we didn't have any expectations beforehand. Growing up, I used to spend a lot of time in the Etruria and Hanley area, often visiting the nearby Festival Park. However, I never really...

So something a little different here, I have been working on a little project to drain a mine for a while. Unfortunately some idiots found the places, pasted it over youtube and tiktok and the council have now blocked it off. So I thought it's time to post a record of it and my little project...

Here is yet another report on this old gem... it's always been on the agenda to get done, it's one of those massive sites that just sticks around forever. I finally got around to it last year although I couldn't drone it at the time, as I managed to crash into a wall at a mill the day before...

May 2022 I visited with @stranton and @coolboyslim whilst on a tour bus trip to the Potteries. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this visit and only recently found the photos on an old SD card. This isn't a massive report, as the building is fairly small and apart from the customer...

More than £20,000 worth of damage done and loads of windows broken on Sunday on buses being restored at Reliance Bus Works in Stoke on Trent.

Il spare you the spiel.. A copy cat report really but i did get a few photos of bits the others didn't put in their reports. Visited with @raisinwing after a heavy evening of stoke based beer. I should have been hanging and thoroughly not enjoying myself but how could you not enjoy this place...
