World War 2 air-raid shelter in the Moss Valley outside Sheffield. It was for the benefit of workers in the woods who used to light lanterns to try and fool the Luftwaffe into dropping their bombs on the woods rather than the nearby towns and villages.

Couple from a recent trip down south to collect some stuff off Facebook Marketplace, managed to fit in a couple of little explores too. The large grain farm near Winchester and Kingsclere Limeworks, of which there isn't an awful lot left but the almost totally rusted out metal shed filled with undergrowth was rather nice.

Keepers Cottage, near Elton, Cambs.
Not big enough to merit a report so popping it in here. Small but rather nice. Would make a nice bijou holiday home. Most likely will get trashed.

A pair of utterly shagged former mills in Brimscombe just south of Stroud from the other day, popped into on the way past. I don't think either of these have been covered before though so I took a few photos of them for reference if nothing else.

The first one, Brimscombe Mill, is sadly almost entirely bricked up save for what were the old weaving sheds. A former cloth weaving mill that was split up into multiple separate units after cloth production stopped.

A hop and a skip down the road is the somewhat ominously named Dark Mill, which in later life housed a company called GB Electronics. It had a varied life producing all manner of things including gun felt, a dyeworks, a saw mill, and for manufacturing umbrella sticks. In 1903 it was acquired by Critchley Bros. who owned the huge, sadly now demolished, Wimberley Mills site opposite and the building was used to manufacture knitting needles and crochet hooks. New buildings were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s and sadly this meant the original early 19th Century stone mill buildings were torn down in 1964.

Whats left is an absolutely fucked, gutted, ruined shell. It's one of very few places I've been that has had nothing in the way of interest or redeeming features.
