May 2024 The Visit I visited this place with @stranton and @Mr Budge. In the past, I have had a few attempts at seeing the neighbouring Burtons Biscuit factory, but I didn't have much luck back then. The old factory has since been demolished, and a new housing estate now stands in its place...

The memorial hall is situated next to St Luke’s Church and was built in 1926 in memory of 250 soldiers from Poulton who lost their lives in the First World War. A bereaved mother and widow, Mary Bennet of 15 Cedar Grove, Poulton laid the foundation stone next to the memorial hall entrance which...

A great local explore here, a huge paper mill shut for 27 years. In terms of history, it really doesn't get any better than this comment from Mark Stores, somebody who actually worked there: A photo of the active site can be seen on this Flickr page with the following quote from member Gordon...

Nothing new here just thought I’d upload a few new shots as I was passing. Fairly easy access and worth a look if you’re local

After trying to get into this place a few times I got a tip off that it was accessible again (i won’t post details). It won’t be open long as they’re already laying foundations to cover it up as shown in the photos. So if you’re planning on taking a look at get down their soon! Good luck

The explore: We found this old factory local to us by chance, fairly simple to enter. Not entirely sure of the history. Houses next door to each entrance, factory is located behind the houses. Seems to have been an old computer parts storage warehouse, most of the parts being from 1980ish and...

The South Atlantic Building, Vittoria Dock Complex, Birkenhead was Built: by W.H. Boase & Company Ltd about 1960 so not very old by all accounts its purpose was to be the Wharfingers office for the Blue Funnel line and it remained so until Blue Funnel left in about 1970 when it was taken over by...
