surrey

Hi everyone, I am a photography student and am looking for an abandoned building to shoot at. I am based in caterham, surrey. Was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere accessible near by!? My theme is artificial/nature for this term, and so was looking for somewhere man made which is now over run...

Won't go into too much detail as most of it has been said in the past After seeing reports online of it being on fire twice in the past I was sceptical that there was anything worth seeing left. One of the wings has been reduced to rubble enclosed in walls, but to my surprise most of is still...

so im 18 and always been into exploring derelict places around surrey too add thats where im based me and my friends i fel like have explored everywhere possible in surrey as there isnt many places im not gonna ask for places to go as it says that but can someone tell me a area not too far from...

Hey! Me and my friends (5 of us) have moved to Surrey from an undescloded location ;). And we have been previously doing urbex but we have no idea of any places to visit. We sadly cannot go very far due to some issues so we prefer to stay in surrey or Guildford area. If you have any cool...

Visited here twice within the space of two weeks last year. One reasonably cloudy day and one with strong sunlight. Over those two weeks activity must have been high as there were some visible changes to the building such as new graffiti, as seen with the 'lost' photo Photos taken on Pentax K20D

History: ICI Plant Protection Division is a British company founded in 1926 and developed a wide range of Paints (Crown, Delux etc) and 'Specialty chemicals'. They were a very large FTSE100 company at their peak. In 2007 the acquisition process of ICI by AkzoNobel began, eventually being bought...

Hi guys... went to two locations in Surrey today. A well known factory & prep school. Factory has two, what looks to be sound detection alarms on the roof. Whether they work or not I don’t know. We made quite a bit of noise & went on the roof and didn’t seem to set anything off- albeit we did...

This one might take a bit of explaining BOC (British Oxygen Corporation) specialised in the production of gases in a wide variety of industries. The manufacturing of cars (ironic), steel , electronics, glass, produce transport, food and drink, healthcare and the environment meant they had a lot...

So I'm relatively new to urbex, but I have explored a few locations around my area and know some details about history, so I thought I would start doing reports of what I know. This was the first explore I did other than a few pillboxes, but it was definitely interesting nether less. The...

This site has for sure become a regular for me. Its easy to get to, a huge site and, despite there being an active building (The Aspinal of London Headquarters) attached, there's little to no security on site during closed hours. The History The Fernhurst Research station was a weed killer...

History: The Quarry Dean firestone mine in Merstham, Surrey, is just one of the many mines, stone quarries and underground workings that are scattered along the North Downs between East Kent and Surrey, and is also by far one of the oldest. This particular underground stone quarry dates back as...

Hey there! Experienced in the art of Urbex(didn’t know it had a name before) avid photographer and climber from South Africa, new to London! Looking for new spaces and places.. that’s my passion but have literally NO IFEA where to start. Thanks for having me here

I know these locations are more shells than anything & very popular with beginners (like myself), but visited earlier & was pleasantly surprised. Both are very easy to find- can spot it a mile away... & 10 minutes walk from each other! Started off walking from my flat to Hollywood lodge - bumped...

Hey! I've always loved the idea of exploring old abandoned places or even mines, would be great to not do it alone! I drive and I've got a GoPro, be great to document findings! Scott

Hello everyone This is my first report I know it has been done a few times on here so won’t go into huge detail on this. HISTORY For over fifty years, Pyestock was host to the development and testing of gas turbine engines. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, it was the largest facility of its...

Could't find much history on this one other than it's currently owned by a couple of Latvian men. As expected the tour bus was in full effect when I turned up having driven past 3 groups of 3 people in the private estate. The house is in a bad way being completely ridden with damp and a...

I know this place has been done to death, and as always I am late to the party, but I've not done this site so thought I'd check it out. Very simple access to grounds and building, although a long walk from where I parked - they have ANPR on the estates so didn't want to take the risk...

Again, this place has been done a few times, and there is plenty of history on other reports. Having seen some of the pictures on 28DL, I knew I had to visit Silverlands. Finding the place was relatively easy, but access was more difficult - getting onto the main drive was OK, but there is CCTV...

First time posting a report, so apologies if I do anything wrong :p The history of this place has been reported a few times on here, so not going to repeat it. Having read various reports (and being out of work currently) I thought I'd try and find the house and see what it's like. And I wasn't...

Hi There I go by the name of Kazifzz. I am a 21 year old photographer and explorer from Surrey and have been interested in Urban Exploring for so long and was wondering if anyone in the Surrey or Hampshire area would be interested in going exploring around the local areas. I have also just made...
