[CENTER] Went back for another look and heres what i got!!

General Background; Ranking in as the third tallest building in Leeds at 25 floors tall or 269ft above Leeds city center. Situated above the Leeds First Direct Arena this building dominates the sky line. Completed in 2007 it now plays host to some 500 plus students studying at Leeds Uni...

Explored with Raz & a non - member Bit of history to start; In 1864 it was proposed to build "New Station" in Leeds. Construction began in 1866 and the station was completed in 1869. The new station was built on arches which span the River Aire, Neville Street and Swinegate. The building...

Visited with Zero and The Baron back in March, didn't bump into a hundred people aswell, which was nice. Sure you have seen and heard enough of this place so ill keep it short and sweet. High Royds Hospital is a former psychiatric hospital in West Yorkshire. The hospital was intended to be...

Would have been rude not to nip in here while in the area. Again visited with Paul 2129, great morning this mate. Really not that much left here now and what is still there to explore is in a right state. Still, some interesting things left to see and alot of peeling paint. Glad I seen what's...

Mount St Marys Roman Catholic Church built by architect and inventor Joseph Hansom. In 1829 the Catholic Emancipation Act was passed, and in 1850 the Catholic hierarchy was restored in England with the country being divided into dioceses, each with a Bishop. There followed the construction of...

After a boring day at work I dusted off the waders and found myself in some tunnels under Roundhay park. Shortly after walking into the tunnel my torch decided to run out of batteries :shock: this meant using a head torch to light the place up!

A rare visit from me in the Military section, in fact wasn't sure to post here or in the underground :confused: This was a opportunity I had to jump on quickly after seeing a report elsewhere and gathering that demolition was about to start. After all, its not every day you can explore a...

Will post a report at some point but for now ill just post a video :)

This visit was a nice little treat d heard about the place and that the access was hard but after abit of snoopnig we managed to get to the main church building and what a sight we were met with, the sheer size of it made me a little excited :) this was the first sucsessful visit of the day...

After hearing that the roof of this place was accessible i couldn't wait to hit this one, a bit of a ball ache for access to the building but wait around for long enough and the opportunity will arise. At 269ft you cant help but fall in love with the live rooftops and seeing the tiny ant people...

Visited With Hamtagger and Session9 Now Public thanks to the wonderful world of Social Media. :) After a successful morning in York and Leeds we decided to head for our "Main Splore of the Day" We decided that this weekend was the time to get the old girl done before it becomes impossible to...

Terry's Chocolate Factory The Explore Alarm clock springs into life at 3:30am, it feels like someone has thrown sand in my eyes and I wonder for a split second why i'm awake this early. Then I remember.. explore day :cool2: I drove up to meet Matt Inked, then onwards to York to rendezvous...

Leeds Girls High School was founded in 1876 and was an independent, selective, fee-paying school for girls aged 3 to 18. In 2005 it was decided to merge with Leeds Grammar school although this didn't physically take effect until September 2008. The main building, which I visited, is the Senior...

Had a bit of time to kill while I was waiting for work and I was sat up in Roundhay so I decided to pop down Meanwood beck for a walk. Sadly I got a call for work before I go to see it all so I'll have to return to complete the course. The beck was previously a source of water for the village...

I've been working up in Newcastle and on the way back home I decided to stop and take a break I've not seen this one posted for a couple of years but I've always fancied it so popped in :) Leeds council don't fuck about And finally the end

So next, Mookster and I start our tour up North. We basically had 2 days of failure with only 2 successful explores to about 10 ish locations and about 250 miles of driving. It was pretty downing. We decided to retreat to our hotel. The next morning we went straight to this gem. A lot of it...

High Royd's was a former psychiatric hospital which was opened on the 8th of October 1888 as the West Riding Pauper Lunatics Asylum, and designed by the then revered architect J. Vickers Edwards. It was designed on the broad arrow plan. The Victorians liked all things symmetrical :wink...
