Hello again, Part two of the Solk furniture site. This half of the site is mostly warehouses and storage however there is also a room at the back of the site where it looks like some locals hang out and get up to no good. As you'll see in the photos, getting up to the second level above the...

Hello again, We came across this office and what looked like a partial warehouse in the middle of the SOLK complex from my previous post. Nicholas Deakins are a successful footware designer and manufacturer with locations around the UK. I struggled to find any information on this office or why...

After hearing about this place closing, I decided to meet a friend and head up towards Doncaster after the Drain Meet to give this a try. We were very surprised to find the site a hub of activity upon our arrival, turns out there's demolition work occurring on-site, rather strange to be...

I was up in North Yorkshire recently being shown a few locations, and this beauty of a tunnel was on the agenda. It's pretty standard as abandoned railway tunnels go, although it does have a very nice looking air vent, not as good as the ones in Kelmarsh and Oxendon though. The main appeal is...

April 2024 The Visit Did this one as a sole visit whilst in the Steele city, its been done a thousand times and I certainly missed it in its prime back in the day but I just couldn't resist the temptation to explore this place. I spent about an hour wandering around the now fairly dilapidated...

April 2023 I visited this one with @stranton after seeing the excellent report from @Esoteric Eric last month. We spent about an hour wandering around this vast building which never seemed to end and it quickly became apparent that it was in a very poor state with every surface and floor...

Greenside Tunnel - 618 Yards — G.N.R PUDSEY & LOW MOOR BRANCH — In 1882 the Great Northern Railway & Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway entered into an agreement to build a series of short connections to existing railways with a view of improving existing services through mutual running of the...

January 2023 Yes I know this one is on the tour bus at the moment, but I just can't say no to an abandoned rollercoaster. :rolleyes: The Visit Did this as a solo visit one very cold January morning, as I got out of the car the temperature was a bracing -5° which really made me question my...

Explored as part of my Urbex trip in December. Love an old colliery, although I do prefer the architecture of old school collieries, rather than the modern functional designs of newer sites like this. I always find it intriguing how these places undergo demolition which just stops halfway...

Didn't plan on heading North again until the Spring, but I heard this was wide open, so decided to make the trip... Found time 4 weeks later, and it had unfortunately been sealed back up tight... Well mostly ;) Doesn't appear that anybody has done a report on here before, so here goes! The...

Car Chapel, Sheffield. While on a road trip from Norfolk to Sheffield, me and my mate @dangas1000 made a stop off to this lovely little chapel which is full of old car parts, with several vehicles in the grounds. I initially saw it on a news article after a certain 'explorer' sold out to the...

This has been covered loads of times on here but we were in the area and it looked like it was worth a look so here's our take on it. History - Barkerend Mills was established in 1815 as steam powered worsted spinning mill. Early buildings included a four storey mill with eight bays with...

Had this place pinned for a while as these small overlooked military sites are right up our street. History - This place is a bit unusual as while it's a munitions depot it was built in 1889 and is grade two listed owing to the fact that it's largely complete and considered to be a forerunner...

Hi All, there is an ex-member of here that has been going around selling all his finds to the press. Every place he has leaked within a few weeks has been trashed!! Some of the places contained personal belongings of owners past, forgotten and rear items and very personal letters, post cards...

We are very local to this area so we set out that morning to find something new (12/09/20), after about half an hour of scrolling over random inhabited houses, we stumbled across these, located in a place called Foggathorpe, these houses are said to have been built a number of years ago, when...
