Visited with @Mr Budge and @stranton, we arrived at our last destination with Mr Budge and Stranton. Despite being in the busy docklands, we found it without much trouble. Once we crossed the bridge, we were on board the ship. It's important to note that the vessel partially sank in...

Visited with @Mr Budge and @stranton, we stopped in here after a 'semi-fail' at another tunnel elsewhere in the city, feeling a lot more confident about this one we quickly found our way down to the western portal of the Waterloo Tunnel. The tunnel's western end has been partially...

Visited with @Mr Budge, our original plan for the day was to hit some drains which due to some bad weather we decided to call off, that being said we weren't going to let the rain stop us and quickly found ourselves in Liverpool to take a look at the infamous Wapping Tunnel...

The Visit
I went to this place with @stranton, @Shaun and @sam8327. I've had my eye on it for a while now, ever since my failed attempt a couple of years back. Once inside, we were surrounded by scaffolding and steel supports, the once grand library hall now on the verge of collapse...
This former canteen sits on the site of the purpose-built former Headquarters site for Pilkingtons glass and was built between 1959-63 by Edwin Maxwell Fry of Fry, Drew and Partners.
The whole site is grade 2 listed, the listing states;
Architectural interest: it is one of the earliest and...

A bereaved mother and widow, Mary Bennet of 15 Cedar Grove, Poulton laid the foundation stone next to the memorial hall entrance which...

The Visit
Explored this hidden gem with @stranton and @coolboyslim, another one from my list of forgot to post threads (possibly because of its short lived time on the tourbus). During our Merseyside expedition, we decided to pay a visit to this place and ended up spending a...
Introduction
This was one of many places me and Jake wanted to do on our recent trip to Merseyside. It’s been posted numerous times in the past including by Jake a few months back, but I thought I’d post my stance on it aswell as I really liked the place. Reports on here date back to almost a...
Introduction
Another from mine and Jake’s Merseyside trip. I love the modernist and minimalist interior of this site so I was excited to visit. We also did Pilkington’s old sandwash plant, my recent report of this can be found here if of interest.

Some brief history
Christ Church is located out on the docks of Weston, overlooking the River Mersey. It’s construction was completed in 1841 making it 181 years old! It was built as the result of a 1839 petition from dock workers to be allowed to have Sunday off as sabbath (a Christian day of...
INTRODUCTION
This explore was totally unplanned. I was a little bored so I decided to go to strawberry fields to see what its like so I got the bus down walked down to it (on the way noticing an open construction site gate) and then realised that it pretty much isn't a thing any more it has been...
INTRODUCTION
I was with a friend. we entered the area where the entrance of the tunnel is and we waited for a carpark to close so we could jump the fence and get into the tunnel. In the meantime we decided to explore another nearby abandoned building (some type of warehouse) on going into the...
After not being able to find an easy entrance at the front gates of the site and due to some fella in a Mercedes having a kip at the gates i decided to get in via the Mersey. I got onto the banks of the river further down and walked my way up to the power station, clambering over sewage overflow...
Nothing too exciting… I’d heard of some railway tracks and decided to check them out. Lots of overgrowth, graffiti and lots of fly tipping, so not many photo opportunities.
Part of the old railway tracks on the wirral side of merseyrail, this specific part being underneath birkenhead by the...

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...
We've wanted a look at this for a while and with us having our lad with us today we thought this would be a good one to take him too. The caretaker is more than happy to let people explore it so we armed our lad with our old bridge camera so he could get involved and went for a mooch. It's...
Explored this ages ago but never got round to posting it. Been covered on here loads.
History - Not much history on this place. It was popular with local footballers from Merseyside and was damaged in an arson attack in 2009. It closed in 2015 due to maintenance costs on the roof.

This place has been done loads of times on here but we liked the look of the chapel so decided to check it out.
