October 2021 The Visit Visited on two occasions, the first was a nighttime visit with @stranton and @coolboyslim and the second was a solo visit on a wet weekday morning. The building is huge and I could have easily spent double the amount of time I did in there. It appears to have been left...

September 2018 I have wanted to see this place with my own eyes since I was a young boy seeing images and footage on TV, I visited for two days with a non member and spent the night in the Chernobyl Town hostel . Despite spending two days in the exclusion zone I can confidently say that we...

July 2018 The ’Theatr Ardudwy’ is a large Brutalist theatre building that was designed by Colony Foulkes & Partners and opened in 1973, the building is located within the grounds of Coleg Harlech, an Adult Education Centre which closed its doors in February 2017 following years of financial...

June 2018 So this one has been on the to do list for a long time and after many failed attempts over the last few years I finally managed to get it done, not much history exists on this place despite it being a popular venue in its heyday. It was last open to customers under the name 'Home'...

June 2018 The Visit Me and @Choo Choo m8ty (Cool Boy Slim) had a crack at this one after work one day, and we were not disappointed. We spent a good 4 hours up there (excluding a trip to the hotel bar) and watched the sun set over Manchester. History Highland House was designed and built by...

May 2018 Much like most towns Crewe has fallen victim to the large 'out of town' Retail Park, a dying town centre that is just a shell of the past with many vacant and boarded up shops and a council who don't seem to be bothered. The roof is nothing special height wise but does provide some...

Visited as a post work explore with @Choo Choo m8ty. Built by the Manchester architect Edward Walters in a Gothic style, the Grade II listed Wycliffe Congregational Church has seen very little change in the last 170 years. The church is split across 3 floors with the basement level previously...

February 2018 Built as part of the Queensway Development in 1953 and is the second to last unit in the building. It is located between a recently abandoned Wetherspoons and an abandoned Ladbrokes. I found myself inside this one completely by accident and to be completely honest it is nothing...

February 2018 Did this one as a solo visit one cold and wet morning, the building is pretty trashed now with very few windows left in one piece. In response to this the owners have recently built a wooden wall around the building. The building consists of two floors and a small cellar but very...

December 2017 The Visit Finally got round to doing this one on a cold and damp December morning, I visited by myself and spent about an hour in the building. There isn't really anything special about this one, except maybe the J Spencer & Co overhead crane that still survives in the main shed...

November 2016 I may as well get a report of my own up before everyone gets sick of this one, visited with @Coolboyslim and ran into @Esoteric Eric at the park. I'd hared the park was due to close a few months back but given its reputation for ‘'closing down'' I didn't pay it much attention...

August 2016 So this one is a bit of a derp and a small one at that, but it is another local one of the list. The building was once hold to a local newspaper, the office consists of 3 covered houses near Crewe town centre. The paper moved to a smaller building in 2003 and since then have again...

June 2016 This place has had many names over the years The Plaza, The Gaunt, The Apollo and finally the M Club. The place has been on my list for a long time and with the Demo crews moving in on the site this week I decided it was time to pay it a visit. Visited with @Shimmy5305 a few times...

New Find On 28DL The Limelight was a popular live music venue located just a 2 minute walk from Crewe Town Centre, the main building was constructed in 1869 as a church complete with a connected church hall. It was converted (along with several joining houses) into a club that was very popular...
