After memories of passing this place and being dropped off in the carpark back in the college days, seeing the pub boarded up meant it’s been on the list to explore for quite some time. At the first opportunity, teaming up with Tiny Urban Exploration, we were there! The pub is now...

Hi all a nice new report from me on a recent explore. This is a cracking little church with some awesome stuff still left and very photographic. And seeing has its close to christmas this seems like a good time to do it and post it. Some awesome stuff here like the tower and the bell. In what i...

We came across this looking for some underground stuff and was a nice little find. Since we went I have seen in the news that parts of it have been set on fire and unsafe. History.. In 1819, Rylands & Sons were established with their seat of operations being in Wigan. John, the youngest...

Lincolnshire County Lunatic Asylum Yeah I know she's been covered a multitude of times, but to me, It will always remain one of my top visits. How can you not love St John's! St John’s hospital in Bracebridge heath has a long and interesting history. The Asylum was built in 1852 and...

I've been to this place 3 times now, so these are a mixture from those visits. Parts I only discovered on my most recent visit and I had a new lens to play with, plus showing some UrbExing friends around who hadn't been here before (one of whom hadn't done an asylum) gave me the perfect excuse...

Visited on a very cold, early morning during a Lincolnshire road trip I went on last winter. I was so cold and tired on this particular morning that I managed to forget to put on my shoes before leaving the car, so ended up doing the whole explore in my slippers! However, it was very much...

If you like ur pealy paint it's now lookin good SK :)

Visited with Wevsky and Space Invader Ive found a little history on St Johns mainly after reading bits on various sites across the web and other reports gleaned from various other forums. St Johns Hospital built originally in 1837 as an infirmary to a local workhouse, had various bits "added"...

After seeing a few reports on other forums recently, myself and obscurity decided to take a trip to Essex to check the place out. St Johns Hospital closed in November 2010 when services located to the nearby Broomfield hospital in a £140 million new wing. It used to be the Trust's main...

St.Johns's Hospital Chelmsford Visited with Skeleton Key, Tstranger1066 and Priority 7 The doors of St John's Hospital – where half of Chelmsford's population was born – swing shut for the final time on November 18th, 2010, marking the end of a vast chapter in the town's history. Nurses who...

St John the Baptist church has been shut for a while now. Visited this with hood_mad and captian slow (almost). This church has an interesting but sad history. Locally, common legend has it that the architect that designed the church did so with the altar facing in the wrong direction...
