factories

This was a former cod factory founded in the 1950s, ‘Seca do Bacalhau’ meaning ‘Dry of Cod’ in Portuguese. It’s a large site with a lighthouse, water tower, fish farming area, and living quarters for the workers. There was a documentary made of the women workers who worked there, mostly in slave...

For this explore, I took along my eldest son, and I met up with @FalloutShelter , I had been previously but not seen much. So eager to return, off we went. We started at the Air raid shelters and made our way round to the mould boring shop, this is where it got interesting. After finding a...

Only a quick report this time.. A few from my last visit to Coalville. I spotted this whilst driving and thought it would be rude not to stop. Photos only taken on my phone so a bit pants... What do I already know? This is a large 3 storey stone and brick building that was built in the 60’s...

So my plan was to scope out the old corah building and possibly the old board room! I played it risky and went in the day disguised as a student taking photos for an art project (I have a baby face obviously it worked when I was found). unfortunately I couldn’t really see how to get in but I...

This is only our second thread (myself & @Narg1992). We thought we may as well post while we are in lockdown due to the amount of photos we have lying around! So as we are local to Halesowen we thought we might as well check out the New Hawne Colliery. Unfortunately we dont have much history on...

This was a very nice little hidden treasure tucked away in the middle of nowhere honestly couldn’t tell you much about the history but was a nice little explore very easily accessed and no security whatsoever always the best

Millennium mills The Millennium Mills were one of the largest flour mills in London during the early half of the 20th century. The building was largely destroyed by bombing during the second world war but was then rebuilt in 1945-1950 before eventually closing with the decline of the royal...

I'm back again, catching up on all the reports I've not got around to putting up in the last year and more! This time around, it's an interesting little place tucked away in rural Suffolk. Unfortunately I don't know the history of the place, when it closed and why. It's clearly been abandoned...

Although there isn't much left here and a lot of the site is pretty bare, this is still a nice easy explore - especially for anyone looking for somewhere who is particularly new to this! The site is pretty big and offers a range of wall art to be found. You can check out all my photos from...

August 2019 The Visit I’ve had my eye on this one for longer than I care to admit and had all but given up on it, however driving past one morning I couldn’t believe my luck when I spotted a way in, a few hours later I was back and inside the building, spending nearly 5 hours wandering around...

I've been wanting to go to this place for sometime now. I love photography and abandoned buildings and this place just looked incredible. I had briefly been up to the site on my way to Tonbridge Wells in mid August to scout the place out and look out for things like security and how to get in. I...

I couldn’t find a great deal online talking about the history of the site but I did get this: The Clay Factory originally started life as a china clay works at the turn of the 1900’s – the clay was pumped down to the site from Dartmoor for drying and processing before being transported by train...

Hey, here's some photos from an old visit a friend and I took to the Balfour Kilpatrick in Renfrew near Braehead shopping centre. It has long been demolished and has been replaced with houses. I'm sure there are plenty photos out there already but maybe there's something different hiding in...
