HEY THERE

So i've been away to Dorset for a few days for my birthday and thought while i was there i'd have a little look on maps to see what i could find, aswell as actually staying in a place next an abandoned building which i shall also post soon! Straight away i found a site that was pretty big and clearly abandoned. Took a 3 minute trip down the road and realised it was an old military building under "Gate No.3". The fences were triple the size of me so the only way to get in was to go under. The place was trashed so we knew there would be a way in somehow! Alot of the old access points were blocked off, but fortunately we found a hole underneath.

(History found from someone elses report) Holton Heath laboratories was ued in the process of making cordite for shells during World War 1 & 2. Opened in 1916 and laid derelict since the late 1990’s.

The place is completely trashed but we made the most of it! Not a lot to see but made a good little explore while we were there and with some other reports ive seen on here, it was worth a quick post as an update if people have been there before.
Enjoy some photos...

There is actually two like that on site, there is a question mark at the back! Nice photo tho

There was a few nice examples there when I went. When I explored it someone had been kind enough to leave the padlock unlocked :thumb

It might had well be as its been absolutely destroyed!

I first went here nearly ten years ago now and it was in pretty good condition, hardly any graffiti if I remember and only a few broken windows surprisingly!

The site has been pretty much cleared of shrubs and undergrowth now and the buildings are going to be demolished in the next couple of weeks.

A church is going to be built on that land.

So sad, that was my first explore

Went past on Sunday and there's hoarding around the front of the site and site construction notices, so they've presumably started work.

It is still open I went today they have began moving rocks and sand in but there is still an entrance you can enter through and visit before it’s demolished
