    Italy Abandoned nuclear research facility, July 2019

    I'm finally back posting something! This time we visited a very large complex with a mysteriuos story and even if it has been completely vandalized, you can still find some very cool rooms or objects... This is a former nuclear research laboratory, which focused on studying new technologies...

    Report - Fisons Pharmaceutical Research, Holmes Chapel - May 2015

    So after a night in a Stoke Hotel, the car was thankfully still there... Me and Ben went on our way to the next site. I hadn’t actually heard of this one but instantly recognised it when I looked UP! I’d been wondering where that photo had been taken! The lovely but derped admin block is...

    ICI, Zeneca and Syngenta Research Facility- West Sussex (6th June 2014) -PIC HEAVY

    So I heard about this place from a previous report so decided to have a look around. After gaining access immediately once we were on the site, we discovered that its fairly large, the corridors seem to go on forever. A majority of the floor has been taken up and there are random items dotted...

    ICI Research Facility, Surrey. May 14

    Not the most interesting place, but an explore is an explore! This facility was also used by Zeneca and Syngenta. The place was completely stripped bare inside, most of the interesting stuff was outside in piles. I have driven past this site countless times and had no idea it was there. It...

    Friday night research at Ditton Labs (Visited June 2012) 2013

    .. Well all that Google research pays off with a bit of Friday night action! Buried nicely in some prime countryside location this place has been left to rot! I am always amazed at the massive amounts of decay that occur in old research establishment; it does make you wonder what went on in...

    Pig Research Centre, Bedfordshire - March 2013

    Well here is my first report on the site so please be gentle !! Wasn't sure what to expect with this it was either going to be a fail or a quick mooch round a yard but how wrong I was ! Was there for several hours and the place is a lot bigger than it looks and relatively untouched, it made...

Thanks to SpaceInvader and Obscurity for a few tips on access used,bit of a shame as that is no longer doable so my self and Urban ginger had to scout for another way in... Brief history borrowed...

    DEFRA/ADAS Research Labs, Kent – Oct 2010

    There is not a huge amount of history on this place although it has sat disused now for approx. 6 years after finally losing its doors in 2005. The labs were used for soil sciences and there is still much to see.

    Buckston Browne Research Establishment, Downe, Kent-Mar 2011

    It's actually called Buckston Browne Farm, but if I'd put the word 'farm' in the title you probably wouldn't have clicked it would you :roll: It was a research establishment for the Royal College of Surgeons, England from the 1930's up to the early 1990's when it closed. The place gets its...

    DEFRA/ADAS research labs, Kent - Oct 2010

    Found it difficult to find a lot of history on this place. The labs were involved with Soil sciences and research I believe, as there's lots of samples etc. in some of the labs. very hard to work out precisely when it closed, but I think previous reports say around 2005, although areas of it are...
