The George Hotel as stood empty for just a little over 5 years... considering this it's not half bad inside, stairways are still intact, few if any holes through to other floors, little decay in the form of mold or interior fatigue and there's still gas in the pumps in the bar area. It's a fair...

Explored with @-Raz-
I've been debating whether to post this or not but after a small amount of consideration here it is. Got my first proper DSLR last week after using a Galaxy Smart bridge so if some of my pics are w@nk please leave me some CC. Having said that, I think i've picked it up...
Climbed with -Raz-
100% the most exhilarating climb we have ever done, with the cages on the ladders only going half way around the back of you to allow for the holder to rise up and then back down again, it really hit home the importance of keeping a tight hold considering the consequences...
Dobroyd Mills
The Explore
Got up in the middle of the night and jumped in the car armed with my camera, monster and peperami's. Arrived at my first planned target, battled through some thick thorny brambles and shit, scratched myself half to death, was literally perched on top of a fence when...
While in the area me and Raz took a quick look in this small mill that was full of little treats. access was easy although it is on a main road and unfortunately i don't quite recall the name of this one.
ill keep it short as usual so here you go...
Thanks guys :)
Haven't posted anything in a while guys but hit this place up with Raz just the other day. Really easy access to the rear building and some really cool things to see :) Unfortunately we could only get into one room of the main building you can see from the road but hey ho.

Headed over to Huddersfield for a afternoon in some mills with Fat Panda yesterday, the amount of derelict mills and factories in the area is amazing! Here's a few pics from the first place didn't come out too well but thought I would post em anyway

Driven past so many times and while on a checking huddersfield leads we only managed to get in to here out of around 8 sites on the list.From what I can gather the bottom of this mill was last used around 2008 as a M.O.T centre/garage place.
First set from me from the Englandshire trip, this particular morning we met up with BadBatz and Drinkinbud at particular Hospital but were quickly spotted by secca, and couldn't find a very easy way in, so decided to head of to try somewhere else. Derp Chapel No. 2 was also not an option...
I've had my eye on this for a while, looks like once they got going, they hit it hard cos now, well, its ruined. I'm going to start a campaign, Urbexorzzzz againzzzzt developerzzzzzz! HANDS OF OUR DERPS!
A clip from the local news a few years ago gives the info.
'Most of the outpatient...
It's grim up North!
Myself, Drinkinbud and the Beardyemukidwhotagsalong went for a mooch around this mill, we've all passed, either discounted it, it was tight or more recently full of pikeys with diggers?!?!?!!? Comedy of the day involved drinkinbud complaining that he liked southern places...
