June 2024 A completely unexpected visit with @stranton, having had an unsuccessful attempt at another derp nearby. As you can probably imagine, there is absolutely no history available for this place, the club looks to have been built in the 1960’s and closed around 2010. The club is a typical...

Constructed by Bradshaw, Gass and Hope in the 1950's stands the historic Salford Police station on the Crescent. It was once the headquarters of Salford City Police and C.I.D division and later turned into Greater Manchester Police Salford Division. With its sad and permanent closure in 2008...

My first post! This is a difficult one to get around, as the place only seems to have one access point that opens up from time to time. The Buile hill mansion used to be a mining museum just before it closed almost 20 years ago, so I thought it would be pretty cool to check out a piece of...

Hi all I'm on film production at uni and need an abandoned building to shoot for an exterior shot and need somewhere which I would film in for interior where I wont get robbed or stabbed, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Quite an interesting find last night. It came as a shock that it was A) as easily accessible as it was and B) No one else was there... The imposing old Salford Police Station on the Crescent is a 1950s landmark, designed by Bradshaw, Gass and Hope, that was originally the headquarters of...

April 2019 The Visit I Visited this one back in April with @Choo Choo m8ty, we hadn't set out with the intention of hitting this one but as we drove past we decided to take a look and see if it was doable. And it payed off, once we were in the building we spent several hours exploring every...

I have been exploring buildings for years but didn’t realise how many other people did it. I do it for my own interest and my fascination with history. I apologise for poor quality pictures they are only taken on my phone as Iv never thought of sharing pictures with anybody but if anybody wants...
