yorkshire

Evening all, So whats the first thing you think of when you think yorkshire?? tea? pudding? terriers?? im going to assume its not the production of little wooden shoes! however, low and behold here we have just that, originally producing some of the finest wooden brothel creepers in the north...

This place has been dubbed various names on the internets but I quite like the name Blue Church so I'll stick with that one. After doing the mint St. Saviours we headed towards the looming spire of what's been named 'Blue Church' or 'Miranda Church' owing to it's Chateau Noisy-esque blue...

Pilkington's Glass The Explore Drove up to meet Session9 at Doncaster and headed for some industrial goodness and we weren't disappointed. Using the "going in dry" technique as always we had a wander around the outside looking for access. At one point I was boot-deep in mud and water in a...

After hearing that the roof of this place was accessible i couldn't wait to hit this one, a bit of a ball ache for access to the building but wait around for long enough and the opportunity will arise. At 269ft you cant help but fall in love with the live rooftops and seeing the tiny ant people...

Hi OS. This one is an awesome place, after seeing it come up online I knew I had to visit, I thought it had all been redeveloped! A lot more to look at here than I had first assumed also. Here's some history on the place: The hospital was designed on the broad arrow plan by architect J. Vickers...

Had a brief look around this place with Ferox (cheers for making it happen & a good day out mate :thumb ) wasn't our first choice & we weren't expecting to get in. Weren't in there too long as Ferox spotted the police, weren't sure if they were there for us or not but neither of us...

Visited With Hamtagger and Session9 Now Public thanks to the wonderful world of Social Media. :) After a successful morning in York and Leeds we decided to head for our "Main Splore of the Day" We decided that this weekend was the time to get the old girl done before it becomes impossible to...

Hey there! Visited this one with Miz Firestorm, Miss Lightyear and Goldie on a bit of a Yorkshire tour. Could have easily spent a few more hours here just wandering around, loved it. Terry's was a chocolate and confectionery maker in York, England. Its history stretched back to 1767, but in...

Visited this one with Goldie and not a bad place at all really. There is a bit of trashing and it looks like it has been worked on over the years but it more than makes up for that with it's features like the ceilings and stained glass. founded in 1853 and greatly expanded over its early years...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So it's a normal mundane Tuesday afternoon at work and a text comes in from ZeroUE. Was I up for exploring a location that's been sealed up for ages and needs visiting ASAP before it's sealed up again? It...

This one is thanks to Drinkinbud's mate who has a local pub and gave him the nod, he gave me a shout and off we went. This place has been a club, a munitions store a rollerskate rink, a cinema and a stable in it's 165 year history. It closed several years back, which seems odd to me seeing as...

Something a little different...jazzed up a little - any comments on the processing welcome. Shutters came down permanently in 2000. The obligatory arson attack happened in 2010. Still for sale I believe. Little chef has definitely left the building.

Another instalment from Scattbugs :Devil: and my road trip to Englandshire. Visited here with Badbatz and his buddy after a serious amount of fails, it felt good to take some pics lol! Local businessman Samuel Firth opened this woollen mill in 1888. Mr Firth and family were largely...

For the record I can't actually remember when I went here! The camera says I visited 13 years ago but I think thats a lie. One day I got thrown in the back of a van by my Aunt (as a word of warning, she moderates on here) and my ex wife, dazed and confused I was ordered to clamber into some old...

A nice fireclay and coal mine dating back into the 1800's several entrances go into this system, the roof in most places is in average condition for its age but crumbly wallieeeeee is all over stemples rotting all over but with some nice rails for the carts and a few very nice carts as well...
