The Explore Explored a few weeks ago during a Northern Road Trip. I quite liked this little church; mostly because of the fact that it was a complete contrast of the senses; a little quaint church amongst an Industrial Behemoth of Dockyard Buildings, Docks and large boats navigating The Mersey...

This is down the road from me, yet I've never really bothered doing a proper explore until now... was a snowy day again, much like my explore of RAF Culmhead (Here), had a soundtrack of some cars cocking about on the snow for the entire visit. It is mostly open to the public, except for the...

Some brief history Christ Church is located out on the docks of Weston, overlooking the River Mersey. It’s construction was completed in 1841 making it 181 years old! It was built as the result of a 1839 petition from dock workers to be allowed to have Sunday off as sabbath (a Christian day of...

Birnbeck Pier is a pier situated on the Bristol Channel in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England, approximately 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Bristol. It is the only pier in the country which links the mainland to an island(Birnbeck Island a 3 acre rocky island just to the west of Worlebury...

Went over Sand point today near weston out towards Clevedon and came across this place all fenced off and guarded badly by mitie security..... Its on the road past springwood priory..... Near Lawrence St wick..... Any ideas as to what it is or was or if there's anything underneath..... This...

DISCLAIMER Basically as I’m sure most of you know I uploaded this same report the other day but the images attached were covered in HDR and after taking it back to the drawing board here’s what I’ve come up with Lynton Hotel History: The 56 bedroom hotel has been derelict since 2008 when a...

History: I couldn't find anything about the history of this place.... ....oh hang on, I'll save that chestnut for another day. Let's just say that a lot of what you will find online is utter twaddle and hasn't been helped by some over-imaginative urban explorers. Weston PoW Working Camp was...

Admittedly a tiny bit of a delay posting these, but as I just refound the pics, and the building exists in the same state as it did four years ago, I’m posting anyway as a reminder at least that it’s still here. Weston Tower is an empty office block in Sheffield. It seems a proposed development...

Hi guys, First post here, so be gentle! I was hoping to get in to this one today, but we were unfortunately too late. The hatch has been sealed with concrete. It's not brand new concrete, but it looks like it's been sealed for good year or so. Apart from that the exterior is still in good...

First report - and I wasn't sure what to put this under. There's a medieval site, a Victorian Inn, and it's also a nature reserve now, but I suppose with the defences there, it's mainly military. Please excuse the pics too - I didn't take them planning a report, so most had my nipper in them. I...

Just a little stop by visit to this camp. Originally commissioned as an anti aircraft defence site, to defend Crewe. Italian and German POW's were stationed there nd worked on the nearby farm. The farm house is also empty, though didn' go into that.

Easily visible across the Mersey from the Speke coastline, I have often wondered about this little black church surrounded by industrial gubbins on the Runcorn coast. Some very brief background from wikipedia. When it was built (1841), the church stood on a headland jutting out into the River...

Sometimes a new find comes from hours of online searching, often it comes from just getting out there and looking - this one was the result of time spent out and about - well that and @The Queen's nose for dereliction. Racal Thorn Defence Systems, Hutton Moor Flight Shed, Weston Airport was a...

This ones a 1991 closure, located on a small hill with all original access from the road long gone. This one was always locked in previous years, however it is now unlocked and the hatch is completely detached. Internally it is in very good condition, with siren crate, maps, ration box, tool...

This was an unexpected find, set back off the road between live sites in a part of town I wouldn't normally visit so big thanks to @The_Raw for poking me in the right direction. I visited the place straight away after hearing about it but it's pretty derp, obviously had pikeys there sometime in...
