The former porcelain factory was founded in the 18th century and thus has a rich history. Unfortunately, the factory has been shut down for good a couple of years ago. Some areas were still full of historic stuff from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) era like portraits of the former and last...

Henry Dennis founded the Hafod Brickworks in 1878 to capitalise on the reserves of Etruria Marl Clay found in the Ruabon area. Such was the popularity of its products - bricks, ridge tiles, chimney pots and the famous Ruabon quarry tile – it became known as the ‘Red Factory’. Partial visit due...

Any shots of vintage industrial locations - the older the better!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since our small Belgium/Luxembuorg/France-Roadtrip in September, but now I finally had the time to recall this one and edit some of the images. As I'm totally new to photography, I would be very delighted to hear your opinion on the photos and processing! (...

During a conversation with a fellow explorer we  came to the conclusion that I have been able to visit some beautiful steelworks ... In the neighboring countries! Having this playground of rust and steel in my backyard and even went there, was quite embarrassing... . A bit later a date was set...

A state-of-the-art manufacturer of pipes and fittings, once fully owned by the state, went bankrupt under suspicious circumstances, just before it’s 50th birthday. Only a year before the 50th anniversary, the state sold 85% of the shares in the company to a private investment firm for roughly...

This place was part of a giant complex where they used to build trains for the national railroad company. Most of the site was already demolished by the time we got here, but the lab itself was still worth the visit. It's been abandoned since 2010, which is sort of surprising, if you look...

first report in a while, been busy in france  :-D  + havent seen anything from this place so thought id share it. It was one of those lucky stumble upon by accident explores, which are always nice, certainly not epic to look at but its nice knowing every corner you walk round is going to be...

way over due writing an actual report, got a back log of about 20 reports at the minute but just cant find the time or the internet speed for uploading to flickr, spend most the week working away on the most basic hotel wifi youve ever seen then when the weekend comes around im always off...

Can't tell much about this one, but it was sure one of the scariest things I've done. Inside this "tower" was not much room to stand. We were like 10/15 meters above the ground, so I held on tight  :-D . Tnx for watching  :) #1   #2   #3   #4  

History I couldn't find any so there is none but if I keep writing a little then it will seem that your reading something interesting. I know nothing about this place so I can't even make anything up! The explore Visited with Hamtagger :D , we had gone to Leeds to visit a few places and...

Today no old stuff, the most recent location I visited and managed to process the pictures, finally. This factory used to produce tiles for industrial applications. One day it was taken over by a competitor and production was transferred abroad. There is still a huge area remaining although it...

Some more old stuff from the rubber factory "John Scher" which got meanwhile demolished. I loved this place: Dirty industry, decay and plenty of machines and equipment.... #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 - product advertisement You want more? --&gt...

The power plant is the only remainder of the former pressing plant that remains acessible. On the ground levels heavily trashed the condition get better the higher you climb... This is some old stuff from 2010. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 Check my website for the full set...

Morning all, Bit of a drive from the airport this one, so after landing we drove towards it and did Villa V on the way down to the first nights hotel (see previous report on VV). Up nice and early and got into this one. Pretty much untouched in terms of graff or vandalism and was worth the...

Much like my other thread in the Leisure section, this is a mix of Belgian industry that doesn't warrant separate threads. Atelier Decor One of the more visited Belgian locations, this is a prime example of what makes Belgium what it is amongst explorers. A great place, hilariously obvious...
