January 2025 Visited this one with @Mr Budge, there is nothing particularly particularly special about this one but it was a nice little mooch and a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The body of water that runs through the culvert is actually the River Bollin which passed through the...

February 2025 I recently knocked this one off as a solo visit during my lunch hour at work, I have done my absolute best to crackdown a history for it but there is nothing online. From what I have gathered the chapel was built in 1911 to serve the Wesleyan Methodist community in the nearby...

January 2025 I'd managed to earn some good partner points the night before by sitting through Wicked with Mrs GRONK, as a reward I managed to slip out for a few hours and knock this one off my list. I’d been eager to tick this one off for a while not only because Crewe is my home town but also...

December 2024 I managed to knock this one off as a solo visit after spotting access during an early morning drop at Crewe railway station, after a quick dash home to grab my camera bag I was back and in. I’ve been aware of this one for years having first spotted it whilst doing the...

Introduction A site that has been covered on here for many years, but only knew about it in recent times with an influx of more recent reports, me and @JakeV50 were keen to see it because of the lovely decay within. Information & History Opening in 1951, the factory was designed with a barrel...

July 2024 I did this place solo over a number of visits, if you mention the Crosville Club to someone from around here, they'll either smile fondly or have a look of fear on their face. I grew up near the club. I remember going to the club for different events and functions when I was younger...

Introduction Back in December between Christmas and New Year, myself and @JakeV50 embarked on a 4-day trip where we did some places in Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire amongst others. It turned out to be fairly unsuccessful, with the only noteworthy places being Fletchers and this lovely...

June 2024 This is my first dive into the world of culverts, I covered the full thing over a number of visits once solo another with @stranton and a third with @Mr Budge. The Valley Brook is the largest and most important of the streams that run through Crewe, together with its tributaries...

An explore celebrated for its lack of vandalism and graffiti, this old maintenance depot in the sleepy village of Milton Green was the first of 2 successful explores myself and @CheesyKennita would tick off the list this day. --- HISTORY Closed around 2011, the Milton Green depot was both a...

January 2024 The Visit This is another one that I did as an unplanned solo visit. While mooching around the connected Forum Shopping Centre, I also managed to find a way into the old Market Hall building, which was vacated in October 2022 following the completion of the new hall a short walk...

January 2024 I stumbled upon this shopping center during an impromptu solo visit to the city. While I was originally there to explore another location, I couldn't resist the temptation to explore this place. I spent a good few hours wandering around the massive complex. I even ventured into the...

January 2024 The Visit After a trip South with @stranton , we decided to make a pit stop at this intriguing location. Being a local, I had known about this towering thirteen-story structure for quite some time, and despite my previous failed attempts, I was determined to finally conquer it. And...

December 2023 The Visit I managed to do this one as a solo visit. I live fairly close to this one but have never really paid it any attention despite driving past it many times. I spent a good hour wandering around the various structures on the site and even ran into two other photographers...

This place has been posted a few times but is one we've wanted a look at ever since the first report appeared so had to check it out while in the area. There really isn't much history on this place, it appears to have been used as a vehicle maintenance depot for highways vehicles. Most of the...

Introduction This is a place I have seen pop up a couple of times on here. I really liked the green decaying rooms so I wanted to take a look for myself. This was one of the first stop-off points for mine at @jakev50’s trip last month up Manchester and Liverpool way. Surprisingly, it turned out...

April 2023 Located in the picturesque Cheshire countryside, the Cheshire Workshop described themselves as “a place the whole family can enjoy”, having welcomed customers for over 50 years with an array of crafts and candle-making related activities for all to enjoy. I did this one as a solo...

March 2023 The Visit Visited with @stranton whilst @coolboyslim kept watch from the outside, being a local I’ve had my eye on this one for a while ever since it was announced that Brightstar intended to relocate to another property in the town, the building began life as the COOP Tea and Coffee...

These have been posted around quite a bit but they are cool so worth a report. There are 5 old Blackpool airport crash tenders here in total along with various other cool cars. I don't know an awful lot about airport crash tenders but from what i can find online i believe these are...

History - RAF Calveley was planned as a night fighter base for the defence of the cities of the industrial North West, such as Manchester and Liverpool. It was to perform as a satellite to the day fighter base at Atcham (Shrewsbury) in the Ternhill Sector, but by the time the Airfield was...

This was a small WW2 explore as we had a free morning and it's not to far from us. I'm fascinated by all thing WW2 so while there wasn't a massive amount to see what was left was interesting. History - The site at Cranage was chosen for use as a training station and aircraft maintenance unit...
