all that remains of a decoy airfield
small bunker type construction with a searchlight mounted on top and a small room at the back to house a gennerator
fires would have been light at night at this location to fool the german bombers to target here instead of the real site a few miles away...
A post-apocalyptic look into Granada Studios old coronation street set!
I felt I had to do this one considering I am a Mancunian and all, but sometimes these expeditions don't always go to plan.
I wont bore you with too much history, this place has been done before, and has been done better than my attempt. I just want to share some of my stuff, and hopefully get to know some people on the forum as I am pretty new to urbex.
HISTORY:

This was another one of those what the fuck just happened moments in my life.
So I was on my way back from (not so) sunny South Wales with @The_Raw @extreme_ironing and @sentinel after visiting @Lenston when I got a call from a very excited @Frosty. "Mail Rail is doable." I know by now if he...
The Post Office Railway, also known as Mail Rail, is a driverless underground railway 6 1⁄2 miles (10.5 km) long from Paddington to Whitechapel built to move mail between sorting offices. Inspired by the Chicago Tunnel Company, it operated from 1927 until 2003. Construction of the 2 ft (610 mm)...
Seeing Landie mans report spurred me on to visit this stunning lump of 1930s building situated right in the middle of Leicester on Bishops Street. After getting in with a bit of a faff and a lot of noise we found ourselves in the main hall as the sky brightened, and what a wonderful place this...
Wow. Just Wow.
This place is incredible; I could have spent a whole day in here and camped over! My God, why do they not build such luscious Post Offices anymore?!
This Art Deco Post Office in The Midlands in England opened in 1935 and was built from coarse grained De Lank Granite.
By 1954...
This is the first post I've been in that isn't flooded and/or have dead animals at the bottom of the shaft.
The post is a brief walk across a field and is wide open, I tried to shut the hatch before leaving but it just wasn't closing
.
Opened in 1959 and closed in 1991, it's an absolutely fantastic ROC post, with many original features intact.
It was quite the cold evening and my second outing with a DSLR which i thoroughly enjoyed, here are a few pictures from my visit.
The hatch and all the surface features remain intact...

As far as I know this is still here

To those non-British, we have hundreds of these undeground bunkers built around the United Kingdom, as monitoring stations for the Cold War, some were built in 1951 and closed in 1968, and others built in 1959 and closed in 1991. There was...
2013:
Ive no idea if this is still here, if you do go, please ring the bell on the gates and ask, we were busted here and the couple were very pleasant people but concerned.

Loved my day here..visited with the late great DHL who prior to this had made me trudge thru Middleton mine..feeling fooked,he said he just had to show me Brassington,and I am so glad he did..the man was a diamond and I do miss him...
No history but as per ROC Post general history,this closed...
My first report here so hope you enjoy.
Spurn is already an evocative place by virtue of it's itinerant nature. Add to this WW1 and WW2 remains gradually crumbling into the Sea, or being swallowed in sand, both above and below ground, and you've got a great day's exploring ahead.
This shingle...
Just chucking this back up as redoing all my reports, visited with fortknox0, history is on his report, truely a special place!
Sorry its pic heavy!
Frosty.
After seeing the posts on here of the other ROC Posts and been a bit of a ROC Virgin I thought I would look into this a little bit more and try and visit a post for myself.
This is the little bit of history I know on this particular post.
“The post was originally closed in 1968 but was...
On our way up to a rally on the Epynt Ranges (yeah, the one with the Toyota Sunbeam crash - we saw it happen and actually helped the driver (Darren Pool) out of the car), Hood_mad spotted this ROC post up on a small rise on the outskirts of Sennybridge.
We parked the evo up and wandered over to...
Visited with hood_mad and guided round by captain slow.
I've wanted to do this for ages because it's basically right on my doorstep.
The history has been done many times before, so I'll just add my photos to the list. :D

Backup light.
