I haven't been about for a while but just had a busy weekend exploring, this was the first and there will be a couple or more coming up as soon as I have the time. I used to frequent this place in the late 70s early 80s and it was a nice little pub, I've known its been empty for ages but...

The DRI - a bit like the old cliché - nothing for ages then 3 come at once ;) Its an amazing site with all sorts to see, a bit like a giant Urbex playground. On the downside you have to share it with various other types of dubious life-forms but I met some smashing fellow explorers here and...

Hey, as DRI seems popular at the moment, I thought why not. Photos are from a series of visits, so things have moved, been more damaged or just changed. This is relfected in the photos, as the microscopes move every time I've been. I'll skip the histoty and say sorry in advance for the large...

I like graffiti and ever since I saw this place I wanted to pay it a visit, it was second on my list for the day and I was alone. I parked up and found a way in, I could hear a generator and see a cabin on one side, so I went in a different direction. After about half hour I walked out of a...

After a few failed attempts over the past year. I saw online that it was becoming popular again, so I thought I would give it a try again. This time with no problems. Spent 7 hours inside here. Didn't see anyone else. We saw fresh footprints on the floor that didn't match any of our footwear...

Royal Hospital Haslar Visited with Chaos History Founded in the reign of King George I, the Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport, Hampshire, was one of several hospitals serving the Portsmouth area, but had previously been the country's foremost - and ultimately last - military hospital. Its...

Well this wasn't exactly the walk in I expected, it looks like the fencing has all been recently renewed and the ground floor windows and doors all have metal grills and plates over them, I have no idea why because there is nothing of any value left inside and the scrap value of the metal...

2013: I assume this is still here as the development of the school swamps it 2012: Well here is the report of the chapel I didn't manage to get into before. Access was available this time round. No we did not light that candle. I can only assume we scared off someone who was practicing...

2013: Demolished, now being turned into Morrisons 2012: I found this on another urbex forum. After not really doing much exploring recently, I decided to give it a shot. I visited this place with Northern_Ninja, and was the designated driver for this day! Once a hive of activity, this...

2013: Not much to update on I don't think 2012: Very many thanks to Greg, AKA Northern_Ninja, of 28dayslater for scouting the location. This school was built in 1903, as an Independent school for boys. By 1939, the school educated 800 pupils. A junior school was built on site in 1929, but...

Last explore of 2012 brought us to this old Post Office in the middle of Steeltown. I don’t know how long it has been closed but it looks to have been quite some time. There's not that much to see inside but it has some great decay and a cool spiral staircase. Visited with Rusty, Andre Govia...

HMS Royal Arthur (shore establishment) was one of several assessment camps where new recruits were assessed, kitted out and sent to their various depots. In 1993 the gates were locked for good and the site was left to rot. Since the site was abandoned it has suffered heavy vandalism, being...

I don't know a lot of the history on this place,i know it closed down around 1993. Explored with 3 non members

Big thanks to the guys who found this, and Obscurity and Wevsky for some help. We origenally intended to do this last week, but alas it wasn't to be. One week later, and with a bit of lateral thinking we were inside. :D This hospital has been known by several different names in its time...
