TH IS SITE CONTAINS ASBESTOS It's a fairly destroyed site with a main warehouse building and an area I assume was used for admin but it's in such a state of disrepair I could only guess from the layout These first few images are of the leftmost section of the building and the amount...

Saw a thread from June 2025 on this place, said in it that it had now been boarded up. He’s correct, the nightclub is completely boarded up, and you have to find your way into it through climbing a wooden fence nearby the side. Here are some updated videos.

The club closed in 2018 after just 8 months in operation. The building is safe from demolition as it's grade 2 listed since it used to be a victorian warehouse, there were plans to turn the place into flats which were approved but nothing has happened since. sorry the pictures are so bad, the...

Surprisingly there is only one other report from this place, from a couple of years prior to my visit. Considering where it was located in the country it didn't seem to get much in the way of explorer footfall, I guess at the time there were simply better things to see. Architecture-wise it was...

An amazing abandoned police station only abandoned for 2 years since 2016 due to budget cuts this station closed and moved to bloxwich and this site has just be subjected to lots of vandalism which I hate but still got good stuff left inside

So myself and @Jobbyjo decided that we should visit a place I have been eyeing for some time. We were only going there to check out some pins in the hope of finding something a little bit less lack luster than Leicester has to offer. So after checking out some other pins, including some...
