History borrowed: Cwm Coke’s origins lie with the Great Western Railway and it’s insatiable hunger for coal. The GWR sunk pits at the Cwm site in 1909 as well as in other areas of the Rhondda, but Cwm didn’t become known for it’s coke until 1958 when the coking ovens...

Shoreham Cement works June 13. Due to security presence, we were confined to the one building...but what a big building to be stuck in! Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed! :)

Explored with Therealindianajones, Tommo, Klempner69 and Marlon Was a great day exploring with great people, Had loads of laughs and outrageous banter, and thanks to the good old welsh weather we also got very very wet :)

In a previous report from 2009 I found that this site was originally Fison's Peat Works and was then taken over by Levingtons followed by Scotts and the site closed down in 2001. The Fision's name has been confirmed via much online research and I also found separately the following: "Fisons's...

It's been a while since I've been able to get out exploring so it was nice to finally get back out with a visit to this old knitwear factory. Only a small place but packed full of stuff. I have no idea of the history of the place but judging by the calendar on the wall in the office it closed...

Be gentle, this is my first report ! lol Visited with urban witness, urban sentry & urban tempest After seeing a lot of reports for this place i had wanted to visit it for a while, all i can say it was worth the wait. The only downside is one of us ( me ) forgot spare camera batteries...

2013: I believe some of this is still there. 2010: Visited with True British Metal and his mate. Closed in 1986, this site located in Rural Oxfordshire used to be an industrial mecca! Producing Cement from 1928 till 1986, it was operated by the Oxford and Shipton Cement Company, until Alpha...

Pic heavy!! Explored with AndrewB at the crack of dawn, which seemed the key to getting into the site unnoticed, at least at that time as the access was pretty 'public'! This was from the same rare breed of industrial sites as Tone Mills and Cranes Foundry, the pretty much untouched time...

Soda Ash has been produced on this site since 1874, although the existing works are no where near that old, they are still pretty old. Brunner Mond became part of ICI in 1926 and the separated out again in 1991. They were brought by Tata Chemicals in 2006 and re-branded as such. There is...

What was originally going to be a trip to Derby turned into a visit here which is a completely different town altogether! Derby will have to wait for another day! Built in 1888 by local builders Bradney & Co, it was originally used to manufacture Hansom Cabs (taken from a plaque outside on...

Visited with PROJ3CTM4YH3M and Darbians on a very cold and snowy day. I had no idea what to expect of this place as I had never seen any pictures of it before I went, it was so much better than I could have imagined, absolutely loved it. History: George Barnsley and Sons Ltd. (founded...

I'm sure you all know this place first hand, it was a very popular place and it's had a lot of Urbex traffic pass through it. Visited with Rusty on a Sheffield day trip back in September 2011 A real cool old place, I'm not sure of it's current status.

I had been meaning to visit this place for a while but never imagined that there would be much left, I was very wrong and it turned out to be a lovely little explore with lots of industrial gems dotted about the site. Sadly the roof has recently collapsed on the main structure due to snow...

Hi all, This place is in Wales and between myself and the guys, we have been here quite a few times. This is quite a nice little place in Wales for an hour or two. This set was the last time I visited on the way back home from a failed sunrise hence why everythhing is shrowded in mist. :D...

This factory has seen many users- 24 shed debugging unit for GWR works - Plessey - Yorkshire Imperial Plastics,then Clares Retail,who specialised in making shop equipment like the early till scanners and Ciggy kiosks,not forgetting shopping trolleys..It closed for good early 2007 and was...

A nice Sunday spend having a wander round the Potteries of stoke...a selection of my pics from..Ainsleys..Wetherbys and Tam Crown Works..all interesting sites with bits and bobs left behind..for some reason i have no externals aplolgies for that..on with the pics..

This was the last port of call on our 2 day trip to Wales.After a less than sound nights sleep in the car which in my opinion was worse than sleeping at Pool Park the night before we headed in not long after the sun had started coming up ,which would explain some of the shots!Really liked this...

Glad to see the forum back online! Greetings from across the pond! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Just in case any of you are getting the wrong impressions of my report-posting tendencies, normal non-posting status will likely be resumed within the near future. I'd be loathed to get your hopes up unwittingly, you see. With this in mind, please accept my humble and sincere apologies for this...

Something a little closer to my home now seeing as the first thread came from Belgium! This place has sat semi-demolished since the mid 90s, a survey was carried out which found the quarry home to numerous rare fossils and wild flora and fauna so is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest...
