chapel

The Blue Chapel forms part of a monastery in Italy. The area above the altar is painted blue and the high level windows flood the space with light and create an amazing blue glow behind a suspended figure of Jesus on a cross. The chapel is beautiful. It is a large space with ornate decorations...

The Explore A nice local one for this... nothing out of the ordinary on this explore really.. most of the building has been gutted but the dome alone made it worth the visit :) The History Sanofi's operations in the UK are aligned with the priorities of the NHS, and have for over 40 years...

This was our last spot on our day in Sheffield and for myself love places like this but wasnt that much in there History - Loxley Chapel was built in 1787 by the Rev Benjamin Greaves who was the curate of Bradfield, along with a few friends. The chapel closed in 1993 after the parish had...

Welcome to a place that has been a thorn in my side for the better part of a year and a half. Over repeated trips to Sheffield or up north I would stop by here, and every time I did, it would be sealed. Not so today, on my fourth attempt I finally got in. Whilst walking around the outside we...

Recently I went further north than I ever have before, on an explore/fun times roadtrip to Scotland and the far north of England. Whilst it wasn't the most fruitful in terms of epic explores it was great to be out in some truly beautiful areas of the country seeing some new stuff. Garthland...

Be rude not to have a look at this place, I was passing. The main entrance was blocked by RTC and police so a good old rough rear entry was in order. Bet this was stunning in its day. Loxley Chapel was built in 1787 by the Rev Benjamin Greaves who was the curate of Bradfield, along with a few...

Another installment from the Jupilerrrrrr tour with Baron and Mega Magpie Masa von derp. This small chapel in part of a old hospital was a fairly simple and quick visit, there were workers there taking stuff out, but believe the place has since been demolished! Many thanks for looking!

So after a night in a Stoke Hotel, the car was thankfully still there... Me and Ben went on our way to the next site. I hadn’t actually heard of this one but instantly recognised it when I looked UP! I’d been wondering where that photo had been taken! The lovely but derped admin block is...

The next stop north on the big roadtrip was this little spot. It was originally a Fisons Pharmaceutical Research site before being taken over by Sanofi Aventis who own the new very big very live factory next door. All of the adjacent old site has been demolished except the big art deco admin...

Pensionnat Catholique, France Visited with: PG UE and Scott. Visit date: November 2014 Please Note: Entry is always through an open access point and not by forcing our way in….. We are explorers, not vandals. History Pensionnat Catholique was a boarding school which now sits derelict in...

History Pretty much everyone knows about Runwell or has at least heard of it so history probably isn’t really required but for parity’s sake… Runwell Hospital was a hospital in Essex operated by South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust until its final closure on 23 April 2010...

I have been trying to find a contact for this place for a long time (Being right next to a police station and on a main road its not a good idea to try and find a way in) Then the last couple of weeks I have noticed there was a light on in the old school hall which is part of it. So on Friday...

Evening all, Another report this weekend from a brief visit at the end of the day. The light was leaving us fast and we had to be quick as we had about an hours worth of daylight left to shoot this place. We had a bit of a drive to get to the last 2 day's worth of locations that we had planned...

Hello OS. Here's another location from a recent euro tour :) Visited with AndyK!, Kriegaffe, Vals Darkroom and a non member. Nice little place here, a lot to offer, enjoy! :) Cheers :thumb

Named as its a miracle that its still standing! This is a Wesleyan chapel on the very western edge of Wales, built in 1833 and rebuilt in 1868 in the Gothic style of the gable-entry type. It closed in 1973 and has been slowly deteriorating since. The owner appears to have abandoned all interest...

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...

Visited this one with Goldie, Miz Firestorm and PoppunkJamie on a bit of a derp tour around his area (cheers for showing us round!). After wondering around outside for about an hour we finally found an entry point and it was worth the effort! This report mainly consists of stair shots, to me it...
