wirral

Caught the bug again recently, must be the sun coming out or something. However in the time since my last batch of explores my old urbex partner changed jobs and can't really explore around his schedule. Looking for anyone around the aforementioned areas, as I don't drive and can reach these...

HMS Bronington is a significant vessel in British naval history, best known for being commanded by King Charles III (then Prince Charles) during his naval service in 1976. Built in 1953 by Cook, Welton & Gemmell in East Yorkshire, HMS Bronington was a Ton-class minesweeper, later converted into...

May 2025 I’m a bit late to the party with this one. My first attempt—early last year—ended in failure, followed by several more unsuccessful visits over the following months. Eventually, I’d all but forgotten about the place. That is, until I found myself on the Wirral attending a christening...

HMS Bronington is a former Ton-class minesweeper of the Royal Navy. She was built on the river Hull in Yorkshire in 1951 by Cook, Welton & Gemmell at Beverley, Yorkshire. She was commissioned as HMS Humber on 4 June 1954. Humber spent four years in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, serving as...

Visited with @georgebrwn after a good few failed explores that day we found this place. Ashton House in Oxton, Merseyside, is a notable Victorian-era building with a varied history. Originally built in the 19th century as a grand private residence, it reflects the period when Oxton was...

March 2024 Visited with @Mr Budge and @stranton, we arrived at our last destination with Mr Budge and Stranton. Despite being in the busy docklands, we found it without much trouble. Once we crossed the bridge, we were on board the ship. It's important to note that the vessel partially sank in...

May 2024 The Visit I visited this place with @stranton and @Mr Budge. In the past, I have had a few attempts at seeing the neighbouring Burtons Biscuit factory, but I didn't have much luck back then. The old factory has since been demolished, and a new housing estate now stands in its place...

The memorial hall is situated next to St Luke’s Church and was built in 1926 in memory of 250 soldiers from Poulton who lost their lives in the First World War. A bereaved mother and widow, Mary Bennet of 15 Cedar Grove, Poulton laid the foundation stone next to the memorial hall entrance which...

A great local explore here, a huge paper mill shut for 27 years. In terms of history, it really doesn't get any better than this comment from Mark Stores, somebody who actually worked there: A photo of the active site can be seen on this Flickr page with the following quote from member Gordon...

Hi newbie here wanting to start exploring been watching videos on youtube and facebook for over a year now and decided it's something i would like to do myself thanks for reading.

This has been done to death so I won't bore you with the details. Well worth a visit. Thanks to another 28DL member who told me how to get in via a hole in the fence from the road (ignore the quicksand sign). It's so overgrown but if you walk through the woods and then follow the pipes with the...

After not being able to find an easy entrance at the front gates of the site and due to some fella in a Mercedes having a kip at the gates i decided to get in via the Mersey. I got onto the banks of the river further down and walked my way up to the power station, clambering over sewage overflow...

The History: The Birkenhead Dock Branch is a disused railway line which runs for about four and a half miles between the South Junction of Rockferry to around Bidston Dock, as part of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway. Some of the line runs through Haymarket tunnel and there was a level...

I made my way to Bidston Hill yesterday on the recommendation of a report I saw on here. What a gorgeous place! The whole land was bought on the condition that it would be kept for public use and enjoyment, which is upheld today. The buildings date from the 1800s. No interior exploration as the...

its not been abandoned for long under a year not much there and its set for demolition and im surprised its not been burnt down yet because its on a main road and surrounded by houses and is walk in and out with all doors unlocked witch being down the road from a police station is also...

Some history: built 1918 it was powering factory's in and around Bromborough. Did not take pictures of every room or building because it was me first time exploring on me own and there were other people coming and as a 14 year old i was not going to risk having any problems...

Dont know much about the tunnels but i found some pictures on my phone and have decided to post them. Sorry for the quality the pictures were taken on an iphone 8 with bad lighting The entrance has been sealed 21.01.2020 Bottom of the first two ladders The other side of that hall...

Nothing new here just thought I’d upload a few new shots as I was passing. Fairly easy access and worth a look if you’re local

After trying to get into this place a few times I got a tip off that it was accessible again (i won’t post details). It won’t be open long as they’re already laying foundations to cover it up as shown in the photos. So if you’re planning on taking a look at get down their soon! Good luck

The explore: We found this old factory local to us by chance, fairly simple to enter. Not entirely sure of the history. Houses next door to each entrance, factory is located behind the houses. Seems to have been an old computer parts storage warehouse, most of the parts being from 1980ish and...
