Tried this one a few times with no luck at all so very happy to finally get inside! Quite a personal one for me this as it was were I watched my first movie at the cinema (Superman 4).. strangely the place doesn't look anything like I remember it, only the entrance area seemed...
Visited with clarexplres and cheers for the heads up from Black Shuck a few months ago.... But as usual I only just got round to this nice post now.
An hours drive and walking up the wrong side of the field to try and find the ROC post to start off with and eventually we were on our way in :)...
This was one of the sites we did on a full day in Sheffield. We bumped in to come pensioners at this site who explore but mainly for the street art.

This was a fun explore. It was one I and a few mates had been keeping a close eye on whenever we were in the area. Since it's closure in 2011 I had visited 5 or 6 times to find no access, so when I got word from AdamX and a few others that there was a way in, it was exciting times. I went about...
Nice pleasant surprise to find this one in good all be it a messy condition. A lot of the original features are intact, but showing there age. The best bit was that my little daughter manages to scale the ladder to explore he 1st ever ROC post with Zyge, Ianovitch, a small person and a even...
Such a beautiful villa. Amazing condition! located along a busy road and with an English car sticking out like a sore thumb we found our access. Really hot up in the loft bit but loads of stuff left behind by the owners. I would love to live in this house. Has a creepy looking soft cushion area...
Another one of those that I've been wanting to do for years, It became common knowledge as to where the entrance was and after a tip off I thought it was high time I paid this last section a visit !

Hi,
A couple of weeks back we visited this location.
It's quite large, as we walked around there for about 5 hours. And we didn't even see everything. But it's a really nice location. It looks like it's abandoned for 10 years, although it's only been abandoned since 2011.
I had my Canon 500D...
Hi,
This is my first location report in this forum, but not my first urbex experience. I've been doing it for about 5 years now. But not always with my DSLR (Canon 500D) with me. Most of the time i use my GoPro to make video's.
This one we first visited it at night, with my GoPro (movie wil be...
