Moo Farm   The Explore   Visited with @Urbexbandoned and my first piece of cottaging. Thanks to @Judderman62 for the info on this one, much appreciated mate.  Also, thanks to the cows nearby for refraining from charging at us and stomping on our heads. They merely gave us evils instead and...

So after collecting Mookster Early/Mid Morning from Bicester Village, we set off up the M40/M1 to a lovely location 103 miles north in Derby. We arrived and made our way in only to have our morning ruined prematurely by a Council Worker. We decided to just head off to our back up location...

[CENTER]Myself and Landie Man set off to Derbyshire in search of industrial derpiness, and things didn't really go to plan. We got sprung by a nosey council worker clearing tree debris on what should have been one of the easiest of easy walk in explores so disheartened put the backup mode into...

History “The area used to flood quite regularly until the corporation carried out work to improve the drainage system. The water used to come up through the drains after heavy rainfall as there was nowhere else for it to goâ€. Markeaton Brook, which runs through the centre of Derby, has been...

History blatantly robbed from a quote form Paul powers post on this from a few years back ! Last explore of Full day 1 this was i think and we met up with a couple of Friends from forum and facebook alike to say hi..then off we squeezed and climbed into the In-fall which apart from the nice...

Working on a weekend should be illegal, so as I was in derpy and decided to go for a wander in Bordomiser. so the original culvert was built 130 odd years ago and has been added to over the years, it now measures over a kilometre across the centre of derpy.

This really was a laid back explore and one highly recommended for Noobies...bit of history condensed: Union Foundry (latterly known as AIDA Bliss) was built in 1840 besides the River Derwent to the north of the city.In 1868, Alfred Seale Haslam bought the ‘Union’ foundry. At first...

I'd spent all day working down Essex and London I was going to pop down a London drain but after sitting Rotherhithe tunnel for half an hour I decided to fuck london off and get home. I reached Derby at 7pm, I'd been driving since 9:30 am and felt like I'd been prison gang raped so I needed a...

Today was my second explore, and I was accompanied by hamtagger It was however cut short by some of the lovely locals who were drinking at 11am and swinging a bat around. Most likely trying to strip what little copper is left in the building. (We didn't fancy having to go all Jackie Chan on...

Me at the most amazing corridor in the DRI (part that I managed to explore). In my brief urbex life I have to experience a wide range of feelings. There have been moments where I felt totally happy, lost in wonder, complete, mesmerized and son, as well as scared, stressed, tired, annoyed...

The DRI - a bit like the old cliché - nothing for ages then 3 come at once ;) Its an amazing site with all sorts to see, a bit like a giant Urbex playground. On the downside you have to share it with various other types of dubious life-forms but I met some smashing fellow explorers here and...

Hey, as DRI seems popular at the moment, I thought why not. Photos are from a series of visits, so things have moved, been more damaged or just changed. This is relfected in the photos, as the microscopes move every time I've been. I'll skip the histoty and say sorry in advance for the large...

Time to jump on the tourist bus and we decided to organise a road trip with a load of mates including atomic, zyge, magpie tommy, spark and sbmkIII, for some it was the 1st time we had met for most it was exactly 1 year to the day since our 1st escape from Norfolk road trip. Part of my reasoning...

First report on here! First full proper road test of the new camera, so please be patient whilst I go through some new learning curves! After an early start (well, for me anyway!), had a full day’s explore here. And we needed it – its huuuge. I can see how you can get lost here...

Visited with a non OS forum member as part of an organised meet on another well known UE forum. Met a few other small groups on the way round and the local kids that use the place for hanging out and skating were ever present in the grounds. Not being the most agile person these days I managed...

Info from the net... The post-war 'baby-boom' resulted in a much higher number of teenage children in the 1950s. Liverpool Corporation embarked on a massive school building programme.. West Derby High School was opened in September 1957 by the first Head Teacher who was Mr A.L Casson. The...

With the right equipment and with an UrbExing friend to keep me company (as it'd be both scary and dangerous to solo it), I visited the basement. I was told it was massive, but it was larger than I expected it to be. On with the photos. Thanks for looking :)

This place is where many Derby UrbExers started out. I had to wait a fair while for the right opportunity to appear and when it did, I took it! Visited with 2 non-forumers. "The (Derby) Friargate Line is a now closed railway line that was part of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension of...

It's been a scorcher of a day with temperatures reaching 30 C I was on my way back for a job in Luton and a combination of the heat and my sweat had my balls sticking in my inside leg, I needed to head underground where I could be cool for half an hour. I've been in the major drains around...
