Article in todays 'i' newspaper, looks like New York drainers to me :-)

GMI Construction Crane, York Never thought I'd be climbing a crane a few years ago, to be honest. I still don't know much about cranes, but being able to say I've climbed one is cool. I made my first report a few days ago, having posted that I thought I'd also post this from a few months back...

After being in York a few months back it prompted me to return to some old images I'd taken. It seems the factory has now been converted into flats. I suppose that's better than it being demolished and turning this lovely factory into a distant memory. History: In 1890 Joseph Rowntree bought...

The Terrence Building, part of the Rochester Psychiatric Center in New York, opened in 1959 as a 16-story psychiatric hospital. It housed over 1,000 beds and specialized departments, including a ward for the criminally insane and a morgue in the basement. Despite being initially seen as a "tower...

Location To those of you who are not aware New York is a state slightly larger than England and there are lots of Urbex spots outside the city. One of them is the The Glenwood Power Plant, also known as the Yonkers Power Station, a historic but abandoned structure located on the banks of the...

My first post on this website is of international Urbex. The Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge goes over the East River and connects the East Midtown neighbourhood of Manhattan with the Long Island City neighbourhood of Queens. It was built in 1909 and is one of the most famous New York bridges. It has...

This was a place I had pinned on my map years ago, but always kind of brushed it off as not worth going to, however my friend had factored it in to the day trip he planned and I actually didn't realise it was the same place until later on. There isn't much in the way of information out there...

Heyah, I'm James, and me and my friend Lauren. (Lauren and I, for anyone who cares) are planning on doing some exploring in York in February as we'll be in the area. I currently have absolutely no experience in any capacity aside from hiking ngl, and therefore have clue how to scout out...

Hi all! Been lurking here for awhile with my ambition slowly building to make a first trip. currently staying in surrey for a couple of weeks. Looking for general tips of how to find places to start off with. obviously because Im new I dont feel like trying building sites or anything crazy yet...

Ive been hoping to get a look around this old place for ages. I used to walk past the old mill every day on my way to and from work and always imagined what may be left inside, the boarded up windows not offering even a peek inside only made me more curious. So, waiting in traffic on Friday...

History In 1790 Quaker Hannah Mills died shortly after being admitted to York Asylum (known as Bootham Park Hospital today). Due to the restrictions on visitations and the poor treatment at these asylums the Quaker community reacted by gathering enough funding to open their own asylum, The...

Another one I wasn’t planning on doing but when Google took me through Leek it was obvious that the mills had been attacked since I last passed about 18 months ago. These are two of the three silk mills remaining in this area - the other one next door, Cross Street Mill, has been renovated...

Hi all. Could anyone or has anyone explored in or around York or know of any good sites to explore. Thanks in advance

This was such a crap explore everything is wrecked but its such a huge part of American culture that it was a highlight of the trip. Status: Abandoned Screens: 3 (only 2 survived by 2019) Capacity: 520 cars Original owner: Dr. Luther Grant Opening date: June 18, 1949 Final season...

This is such a huge complex, it would easily be a weeks worth of exploring, maybe two. Its like a self contained city, a fire station the lot, and it needed to be with almost 10,000 patients. This was an explore that the images really drew me to and I felt really luck to be able to see it in...
