plant

A friend asked me recently what my favorite location was so far. It would surely have to be one of the industrial sites I’ve visited and this one, an abandoned power plant, that was part of a large steel mill, was certainly among the top favorites! Even though the steel mill it was attached to...

Before 3 years when we start to climb, this chimney look like us impossible. And now after 3 years we can say from the top: It was difficult, but who know how, can make it always. In first try we was spotted by workers and talk whit them. We told him, we are photographers and they say us to...

One more little surprise post from America! I was going to include this in my miscellaneous round-up thread but I liked the photos too much to shove in there amongst others. I first visited this place near as makes no difference a year ago to the day I visited it this time through a weird...

How good it feels to be exploring on home turf again (or not... :P )After being thwarted by a thoroughly sealed first target, finding the next one with too many fishermen and joggers milling around and then realising our third location had been demolished at some point in the 5 months since I...

THE HISTORY Croda was originally owned by Price's Patent Candle Company. In 1853, Palm oil was brought into Liverpool and so the company needed a site to use the palm oil closer to Liverpool than taking it to London by boat. The company build what is now Bromborough Pool village and opened a...

visited the croda chemical plant myself @woopashoopaa @Telf @the Kwan and thanks to Kwan for giving us the tour of this huge site. Covered the whole site apart from the one with the clock tower and it did look rather good. We had heard that security patrolled the site on a motorbike we did here...

“This one will be something different than you might except†We found this location from the road. Tall chimney looming from the distance. In an area where only fields could be seen such structure makes you wonder what it really is. Since I was the driver I made a short decision. We have to...

Sometimes the best things do come in small packages, such is the case here... Nestled on the banks of a river deep in rural 'old town America' in a historic town straight out of the early 1800s sits a proper little gem. This small power plant was constructed in 1899 originally as part of an...

The factory consists of a paper mill, a power plant and a boiler house. The oldest buildings date from the 19th century. The factory was finaly closed in the mid 90s. Last weekend I was there again with The_Raw, extreme_ironing and MiaroDigital. The state has unfortunately continued to...

Ahhhhh that's more like it, back to the sneaky sneaky proper non permission visits ;) Late September brought around what was planned as an absolutely mental weekend of explores, which turned out to be a lot easier said than done as neither me nor my American contact factored in the 'awake for...

Even though this has been done countless times before, I needed to pay a visit myself so off I popped on Sunday, despite the gloomy weather. Here's a bit of the history of the place: Founded by Edward Packard in 1843, ‘Edward Packard & Co. Limited’ was a multi-national company...

After scouting the area for a while and seeing the secca on foot patrolling the perimeter, we decided to head around to another part of pyestock to have a look around. After finding an entrance point we found ourselves at the water processing plant, which is cut of away from the main site. After...

Part one of my mad two day dash to Belgium. The most frustrating urbex trip I've ever had, weekday exploring is so much more hit and miss than weekend trips especially when there were markets going on in front of not one but two different locations we wanted to do! Add to that general other...

Another from my first big roadtrip, and the original main aim of the trip! After a few hours kip in my mates house we awoke to another dismal day, grey skies and persistant rain but we weren't to be put off, no, we had one thing in mind and it was a big one! I'd seen this place pop up about a...
