Urban Exploring Videos

All history on my main report here is my first attempt at videos!

 

This was done on Christmas day. the last time time I've been anywhere, due to work

 

This video contains very bad language.

Hello lads,

This video report is connected to my report in the main forums, and shows our attempt to cross the flooded pump room in our own... Very creative way.
This video is at least semi-professional with a fair bit of humour in, it was brilliant to have managed to film this, and is my first dip into the YouTube side of Urbex.
Let me know what you think of it if you give it a watch.

This place is amazing

 

This was a great explore from yesterday

 

Visited this place 3 times now and it just keeps giving n giving . found 3 little tunnels so far , all of which i've explored .. there is allegedly 3 or possibly 4 more tunnels of much greater length to be explored IF they are still accessible . Project was abandoned in about 1920 and the site was briefly used as a training ground for the army during WW2 . the condition of the tunnels is SUPERB, cant believe they are 100 or so years old. no bats live in these but there are a few butterflies hibernating in them and HUGE squadrons of mozzies :/ ive made a few videos on the place if anyone's interested. i'm no filmmaker but did my best with an iphone 7 and a gimbal

 

Well I have been rather quiet of late, not even been on FB for months!!
Anyway going through some old bits and put this short timelapse together.
The Teesside Steelworks was founded by Dorman Long in 1917 with the opening of the blast furnace. They were no strangers to the business as mid 19th century they were running thirty blast furnaces in the area. In 1918 the Cleveland works opened all that remains here is the coke works surrounded by a vast amount of baron land. Then in the 1940's they purchased the land between Cleveland Works and the blast furnace to build the Lackenby site.
In 1979 the blast furnace you see here was built and the others were shut down. The largest in the UK and could produce over 3,000,000 tonnes annually.
During this time Dorman Long become established globally in bridge construction. The most famous bridge they built was the Sydney Harbour Bridge but I would say the most impressive accomplishment would be the Storstrøm Bridge in Denmark spanning 3199 metres and set on 49 separate piers.
In 2015 the sites ceased all production with a loss of around 1700 jobs.
