Visiting abandoned places it does run through your mind especially in residential buildings what are you going to find….. For years I always joked about find a gun until I came across one, Joking aside there’s always a tiny little voice in my head that tells me to looks for flies and open the letter […]
I loved this place! you seldom see places of this size in this condition, walked a good 8 miles around here in a day was amazing !.There were lots of other folks on site as well, groups of young people as well; not just looking around either sadly I fear it will come to a […]
This place was once a beautiful building; it had so many beautiful original features, sadly fire and the elements had got in it and it’s very worse for ware! It’s definitely not a place I’d want to do in the dark! I’ve been to care homes and other buildings that have been derelict and suffered […]

This place has an amazing story, I was interested in seeing this place as it was the deepest and the last deep level mine to close in the UK so it had some history to start, Miners were on site and after asking them nicely they allowed me to take some photographs and one lovely […]
This place isn’t my normal place to go for a wander, however, for a few pennies you can go and visit this site and opt for a self-guided tour! Most doors to rooms are open and the place is huge. I was amazed how empty it is in terms of visitors but also welcomed as I […]
This place is pretty special, Another one of those places you come across during your research and think wow! For many reasons this place had eluded me; How excited I was to finally have a look around unfortunately I was not the only excitable small person inside here; 10 minutes in we were followed around […]
Amazing place to have had a chance to see, since we are in the warmer greener months a dare say there is slightly less to see than in winter! but the vegation does make you work for it and the lovely weather does make for better captures! There are a few aircraft here; Hawker hunter […]
