Another little gem literally within 5 walking minutes from home! This report is a continuation from this previous one: Civil War Coastal Defence Bunkers - Spain (November 2022) | European and International Sites Every morning when I walk my dog, I pass by this sight: I kept wondering if...

I've been in two minds as to whether this warrants a report or not considering it's a museum, but seeming as the only mention of it I can find on the forums is in a similar report on the Blockhouse Museum in Eperlecques, I thought I'd give it a shot. I did have a mooch around the carnage left up...

Looking along the Norfolk Coast for interesting sites. This may be one to keep an eye on, the bunker may become accessible in the next few years if it falls out of MOD hands, again. From WikiPedia: "In July 2022, it was announced that the radar at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles (13 km)...

This might end up being a long one because of both the very eventful history of the place and the explore itself... I hope you like reading. There's an area near the border with France where there are some abandoned talc mines. This one, officially called the Canta Mine, started in 1868 as a...

Every summer the resilient population of the Costa Brava prepares for an incoming invasion. Who's gonna be first to conquer these beaches: the sun-burnt Germans, the drunken Brits, the posh Russians? Almost 90 years ago, as the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was raging on, the fear of invasion...

This operations bunker is one of 7 (this one being bunker NO.7) built by Yorkshire water in 1989 to continue operating Hulls water system in the event of a nuclear strike on the UK. This bunker has 7 rooms. A plant room, air filtration room, lobby/communications room, operations room...

Hello I’m visiting the uk from Las Vegas, looking for any information on bunker locations or anything underground. Staying in bath tonight and will be in London tomorrow.

The Explore Out for a walk with the wife and baby today, strolling from Hemsby to Winterton-on-Sea. As usual, on the lookout for odd buildings or pieces of concrete that look out of place. Sure enough on the return journey along the sand dunes, I made my excuses and took my leave, heading for...

Hi all, There exists a disused water works near me that is fenced off. I have explored it before and it is completely abandoned and in disrepair. However while there a nearby fenced area caught my eye. It appears to be an underground structure. Maybe an old pumping station but it seems very...

Hi all, I see a lot of posts on this place are around ten years old now so thought I would provide some newer photography with the nice fat wide angle lens. Not much new to report so this is a fairly quick report, but hopefully of interest anyway. The History There's plenty of information...

DORKING ICE HOUCE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT PROBOBLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RAILWAY CONTROL CENTER. PHOTOS

cool little bunker its been my favourite one i have explored. History During World War 2, the Southern Railway took over the Deepdene Hotel near Dorking in Surrey for its wartime emergency headquarters. In the grounds they excavated an underground control centre taking advantage of a network...

I don’t know where to really put this report for 2 reason 1) it’s technically public as it on a walking route 2) I only have a few pictures anyways I’ll crack on .. sheppey is only 30 mins drive from me just basically the other end of the ME postcode so still fairly local to me .. I epxlored...

I just watched this on iPlayer - all about WW2 activity in Wales. Towards the end, he visits the Langstone Aux OB (Jonah Patrol) near Newport. Then he visits an almost perfect (to good to be true!?) base. Any idea where this is ? Looks so good it must have been looked after over the years, or...

This is the WW2 radio bunker I went to visit another location but unfortunately was heavily guarded so I decided to take a trip to this astonishing piece of history. Now some of you may think this is boring but the fact you are able to be in somewhere that was once apart of a war that’s not in a...

Hello guys. First time poster here not a massively interesting one but I was passing through the area so thought it was worth a look. Its taken me ages to get this posted as the whole reason I visited this site was to test out some 35mm film which I didn't get developed for while. The...

Despite many successful and failed explorations under our belts collectively, this is our first post on this forum. Over the summer we have discovered the world of Urban Exploration after stumbling upon an abandoned football pitch in Washington one afternoon. Since then, our thirst for...

The History: Built by the Birkmyre family, this was the largest privately owned air raid shelter in the UK and it was used by the workers at the nearby ropeworks. It measures almost 600m in length with the tunnels approximately 10 feet wide and 7 feet tall when they are not flooded with mud and...
