This is one I’ve had on my bucket list for an extremely long time. Ever since I heard they were shutting down the site, I’ve wanted to go and have a look round. and in may of this year I finally got the chance. HISTORY In 1956, when George Spencer Moulton Company was acquired, by Avon, the...

A brief history thanks to Forum members and Google. From the 13th century Chilmark stone has been mined for building material, used extensively locally, and most notably for much of Salisbury Cathedral. In 1936 the Chilmark mines were bought by the Air Ministry and used for storage.The site...

History (from Bethel Quarry - Mendip Cave Registry Site Details) The age of the quarry is unknown. One source has it named after its owner, George Bethell, who built Abbey House, Church Street from the stone in about 1775. However, Bethel Quarry is not shown on an 1841 map of Bradford on Avon...

Its listed as an abandoned place on Urbexology, but can't find any information about it online. Any help is appreciate, thanks

A water-powered corn mill is shown on old maps at Croucheston, near Salisbury: There is a small building currently at this location, but the footprint is slightly different suggesting the original mill may have been demolished or rebuilt. Nevertheless I had a look anyway and found the mill...

Firstly, I do apologise if I mess this report up as it is my first . This was my first real explore I have ever done . We were on the way back from work and my friends @marshallman1 (+ 1 none member )were talking about a quarry site that recently been open some what close to us . After...

Salisbury Cathedral Seeing as the scaffolding FINALLY came down last week, and the building is now scaffolding-free, it seemed fitting to revisit my photos from it and share some. It's a real mix of photos on this thread, as they were taken over a collection of visits using different cameras...

HISTORY Bethel quarry started some time in the 19th century. When work had finished it was used for the site of a mushroom farm. During WW11 the war department used it as storage. After the war it was used as a mushroom farm again till 2010 THE EXPLORE I spent a good 90 minutes or so mooching...

Another from the backlog, this was a drive-by on the outskirts of Salisbury. No name or history that I can find but the structure is shown on maps by 1900. Photos are phone plus head torch, although I should probably have used a camera in here as it was quite dark. An extension at the...

Pewsey is a pretty village in the rolling Wiltshire countryside which happens to have a lot of old water pumps. Most of these were installed in the early 1900s, before mains water and electricity arrived in 1920. Photos are phone. Starting with a roadside one, the footprint on maps suggests...

After 2 attempts of trying to find the entrance and wandering about all over the place (finding one entrance but being completely blocked off), I finally found an entrance on my 3rd visit which was about 5 minutes from where I was parking! I realised I'd been going in the complete wrong...

Hiya, I'm Bertie's son. Daddy says he is getting too old and creaky for this tomfoolery and it's time to hand over to the younger ones

I'm sure this place has been explored a lot throughout the years, but I personally have never been to a mine before so could not resist. (I know, shocking) So the mines themselves have been around for centuries, probably as early as the 13th century, and then more recently re-purposed as an...

A quick walk around an abandoned strip club. Again, a building that has been left to rot and decay but has no vandalism and is tidy on the inside which is a plus side. A unique explore for me as I have never been inside a strip club. Thank you for looking.
