Question - What was your "just missed it" moment?

[The Young One]

How close were you to exploring somewhere but it then getting sealed/demolished/brought?

Lots road.
Walthamstow Granada.
Alot of Longbridge


Probably the three places regret not putting in more effort to see in thier prime

Sounds like 90% of my explores these days.

But a major one was, I was in Golan Heights looking across at the war in Syria which wasn't on at that time. But you can see all the ruined cities, urbex heaven, we see one man on a motor bike, everything else was just abandoned. And there is no hard boarder to cross because Israeli have claimed the land but its actually Syria. But did we cross? No! We'd already been detained by the Israeli army and we promised them we'd behave for the rest of the holiday. There were too many risks

Cane Hill, I saw it half demolished from outside the fence but did see the pool changing rooms. Had I been exploring 18 months longer I'd probably have seen it all.

Turned up to a mill I'd been wanting to see for a while in the north somewhere to find it had been totally destroyed in a fire a week or so prior.

Rossington colliery bath house. Was half rubble when I got to it - sealed tight the week before.
Always annoyed me... looked like it would have been amazing.

Was about a week or so from wading into a conveyor tunnel at Heyrod power station, was working up to it when I got there, and it was all filled in fully

A shame too as the workings down there were interesting apparently

Pyestock. I started just before they demolished it. Being new and doing local stuff and not knowing anyone I knew nothing about it. Got demolished as I was getting into the hobby properly.

The iron lung in Lincoln County Hospital.

Heaps way before my time that I'd have loved, but can't think of many that I only just missed in terms of time frame. Several of the power stations in more in-tact states / less demolition progress I guess. Kingsnorth control room @Terminal Decline

I wonder what was in there

Do you have anymore photos of this place before it was cleared?
