Had slayaa round for pizza last night and we were chatting about how long it had been since id done a report., then tonight was having a hard drive/sd card sort and found some pics from an explore me and the mrs went on with @The_Raw so thought fook it might aswell throw them up. I know its...

The History This hospital emerged on the site of a Victorian property, Heatherfield, which eventually became Heatherwood. Who knows, maybe somebody planted a load of trees. The estate was put up for sale at the turn of the twentieth century before becoming acquired by the United Services Fund...

I've got so many places to post but at this rate I seem to get round to about two a year. Particularly pleased with the photographs from a few of them so I will try and get those up first. This is an example of one of those places that's generally a bit rubbish but with a few photogenic angles...

I've visited Magnet Leisure Centre a total of three times now. It's clearly a bit of a hotspot now since the last two reports back in late 2021. On all three occasions I bumped into several other explorers (fortunately the friendly, respectful kind). The place is pretty huge and in a varying...

This is my first report so please tell me if I need to change anything or should do anything different next time. The History The Fernhurst Research station was a weed killer research facility for protecting the fruit industry from weeds. The ICI Plant Protection Division was founded in 1926...

Dont know much about it.

DORKING ICE HOUCE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT PROBOBLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RAILWAY CONTROL CENTER. PHOTOS

cool little bunker its been my favourite one i have explored. History During World War 2, the Southern Railway took over the Deepdene Hotel near Dorking in Surrey for its wartime emergency headquarters. In the grounds they excavated an underground control centre taking advantage of a network...

The explore I first tried Merstham AAOR back in 2018 but was unable to get in, after seeing new reports/post pop up on Facebook and other social media that the site was open again I didn’t waste any time on getting down to see the site I asked my dad if he could look after my little one for...

Hi everyone, I am a photography student and am looking for an abandoned building to shoot at. I am based in caterham, surrey. Was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere accessible near by!? My theme is artificial/nature for this term, and so was looking for somewhere man made which is now over run...

Won't go into too much detail as most of it has been said in the past After seeing reports online of it being on fire twice in the past I was sceptical that there was anything worth seeing left. One of the wings has been reduced to rubble enclosed in walls, but to my surprise most of is still...

Hey! Me and my friends (5 of us) have moved to Surrey from an undescloded location ;). And we have been previously doing urbex but we have no idea of any places to visit. We sadly cannot go very far due to some issues so we prefer to stay in surrey or Guildford area. If you have any cool...

Visited here twice within the space of two weeks last year. One reasonably cloudy day and one with strong sunlight. Over those two weeks activity must have been high as there were some visible changes to the building such as new graffiti, as seen with the 'lost' photo Photos taken on Pentax K20D

History: ICI Plant Protection Division is a British company founded in 1926 and developed a wide range of Paints (Crown, Delux etc) and 'Specialty chemicals'. They were a very large FTSE100 company at their peak. In 2007 the acquisition process of ICI by AkzoNobel began, eventually being bought...

Hi guys... went to two locations in Surrey today. A well known factory & prep school. Factory has two, what looks to be sound detection alarms on the roof. Whether they work or not I don’t know. We made quite a bit of noise & went on the roof and didn’t seem to set anything off- albeit we did...

This one might take a bit of explaining BOC (British Oxygen Corporation) specialised in the production of gases in a wide variety of industries. The manufacturing of cars (ironic), steel , electronics, glass, produce transport, food and drink, healthcare and the environment meant they had a lot...

So I'm relatively new to urbex, but I have explored a few locations around my area and know some details about history, so I thought I would start doing reports of what I know. This was the first explore I did other than a few pillboxes, but it was definitely interesting nether less. The...

This site has for sure become a regular for me. Its easy to get to, a huge site and, despite there being an active building (The Aspinal of London Headquarters) attached, there's little to no security on site during closed hours. The History The Fernhurst Research station was a weed killer...

History: The Quarry Dean firestone mine in Merstham, Surrey, is just one of the many mines, stone quarries and underground workings that are scattered along the North Downs between East Kent and Surrey, and is also by far one of the oldest. This particular underground stone quarry dates back as...
