ww2

After gaining the grand approval from the better half, to attend a tour of Fort Southwick Underground HQ, this was a golden opportunity to check out a few other local sites which had been on my 'bucket list'. Whilst trolling through a certain explorer You tube channel, this little gem had peeked...

This is my second urbex and first ever bunker visit in coulsdon south The Explore It was a very fun explore there are 2 entry points one a hole and one you crawl through, inside it is quite large and filled with graffiti and there are some rooms coming off of the main hallways. It is...

December 2024 I managed to knock this one off as a solo visit after spotting access during an early morning drop at Crewe railway station, after a quick dash home to grab my camera bag I was back and in. I’ve been aware of this one for years having first spotted it whilst doing the...

History There are many places like this that in ww2 were armed to the teeth with defensive lines, pill boxes, mortar posts and even trenches. In this post I will be covering a nice example of this. All of these can be found littered around old and new hunstanton. First is a mortar spigot...

Following on from an earlier solo explore to Coulsdon, I was in good spirits and looking forward to seeing this little gem. As with my earlier venture, all previous photos had been lost so was eager to get some new ones for my collection. Now, unlike Coulsdon, I wasn't 100% sure where best to...

I've been in two minds as to whether this warrants a report or not considering it's a museum, but seeming as the only mention of it I can find on the forums is in a similar report on the Blockhouse Museum in Eperlecques, I thought I'd give it a shot. I did have a mooch around the carnage left up...

Situated in Middlesbrough in the North East of the UK , the only outward sign this shelter exists is the remains of the ghost sign to the rear of the building above Access to the underneath bunker / shelter is not publically available these images were taken in 2012 but the ARP shelter still...

I've been trying to track down all the disused RAF airfields that are relatively close to me, and these two are very close together, so going to cover them in one report. This is mainly because there's very little at Upottery except for the runway and control tower, but it's still interesting...

The tide was high, weather violent. Wandering through the sloped sidestreets of Cinque Terra became less easy to romanticise and more of a chore as we realised almost everything was closed. As we walked along the cliffside towards the train station to leave, my friend yelled 'NO WAY!' Looking...
