I know nothing of this place just that it is full of weird and wonderful objects; some old mail indicates it was lived in by a guy from the sub continent and his English Rose; stuff everywhere just left as a time capsule
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...
A little while before our first of two visits I had been surfing the internet for hospital closures, looking for a site some way away. Then, out of nowhere, this pops up....
At first I was skeptical and decided to have a little dig in the forums and almost nothing turned up.
So it was...
The Intro
After stumbling across photos of the beedy eye'd operating lights back in early 2018 I'd spent quite a while looking for the site. Only to realise it's almost 150 miles away, which on trains that run mostly on diesel, is not fun. So we put it off until September and went for two...
Found this little place whilst mooching at the backend of Brongyntyn Hall; which is well underway in conversion to yuppie flats;
Not much to see really except wonderful mould and magical doorsI believe it is an old boathouse originally built in the 19th century and it backs onto the hall's man...
This one was a bit samey once we got inside, looked like it was going to be better from the outside, think the best part was getting in, that and the massive amount of dead birds we found inside. The place was caked in pigeon shit, and there were warnings plastered all over about unsafe...
This is one of the most attractive rooftop in my hometown Gabrovo. Try new extreme stunt - walking on the edge and juggling. Concentration and confidence in yourself, without the right to mistake.
I couldn't find out very much about this castle. It was built in 1821, I don't know when it has been abandoned. In 1841, the proprietress financed various improvements in the village, like the extension of roads.
Exploring the castle was partially quite tricky. Large parts of the floors...
A nice local one today; had many a great night in here it closed in 2012 with the building of the new by pass killing trade
Only accessed the pub the adjoining function suite locked tight shut alas
Friday night in the adjoining converted barn was rock night in the 70s as a teenager
Had ours eyes on the closure details of this place for a while and after months of waiting the place was winding down. So rather than wait for full closure we couldn't resist the urge to do a midnight explore, i'd never seen the workings of a brewery, normally just the end product. Had such a...
I been retired pretty much from the explore scene now for about 18 months and had the opportunity to spend the day with my Daughter in Hampshire so took the kids for a traipse in the woods..was told there was an old cottage that was boarded up near one the many trails..we found it and saw it was...
So this place has nothing now but memories and juvenile grafitti
The Witch Ball Inn was popular with the army guys in the 1940s, due to its proximity to Prees Heath airfield. In particular the Americans stationed there took a special liking to it. And yet after that there's very little on the...
A night in the Paris Metro
My first report for a while and I felt that my photos from each location wouldn't create a substantial enough report. Because of this I decided to compile them into a more lengthy post documenting the night in which we explored various sections of the Paris...
Sometimes I love my satnav today it took me a new route to the local cider farm
rubber necking as i go along i spy a rather dilpidated chimney stack through the trees
have a mooch? well it would be rude not to
Built in 1812 thats all I know some nice stuff
AND it is untouched by kids or...
have passed this often and today thought lets have a look; it is a former station masters house on the hawarden Loop; a once thriving goods and passenger depot
Well that was a waste of 15 mins I must say!!! still here is my wonderous adventure
Hi everyone.
I am Craig, I am English but live in the Netherlands (right up the top right part). I have been interested in old places for a while. Just did not realise it was a "Thing"
I travel tracks and trails around Europe and love stumbling across old places off the beaten track.
