March 2023 The Visit Exploring this place with @stranton and @coolboyslim was quite an adventure. To be honest, we didn't have any expectations beforehand. Growing up, I used to spend a lot of time in the Etruria and Hanley area, often visiting the nearby Festival Park. However, I never really...

Here is yet another report on this old gem... it's always been on the agenda to get done, it's one of those massive sites that just sticks around forever. I finally got around to it last year although I couldn't drone it at the time, as I managed to crash into a wall at a mill the day before...

May 2022 I visited with @stranton and @coolboyslim whilst on a tour bus trip to the Potteries. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this visit and only recently found the photos on an old SD card. This isn't a massive report, as the building is fairly small and apart from the customer...

We spent a day mooching around Stoke and while this place has been covered loads we've had it on our list for a while so decided to have a look while we were there. History - There's very little to be found on this place. G Yorke and sons manufactured brushes and brooms. It looks like it was...

December 2019 The Visit Visited with @Choo Choo m8ty. I've had this one on the radar since its impending closure popped up on Facebook a few months ago, the stadium occupies roughly a 5.8 hectare site which includes several buildings, the main stand isn't currently accessible however many of...

History A now redundant part of Stoke-on-Trent college This part of the college was know as the Cauldon but it has now been empty for roughly two years. Apparently this building is awaiting demolition to be replaced by student flats. The building suffered fire damage early last year and looks...

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE ROYAL INFIRMARY Haven't posted on here in a VERY long time so decided to give it a shot again. THE EXPLORE: So this is sort of a joint report of the two times that I went here, once in July with UrbandonedTeam and KingOfBongo, then went again with ExplorerX and a couple...
