Always wanted to visit this one, took me ten years to finally do it! Worth it though.
Bit of history:
On the 20th June 1940, the Guinness Trust Holiday Home at South Heighton (Newhaven) became a Royal Naval headquarters under the formal title of HMS Forward. Under its command was HMS...
Buried in the countryside of West Sussex is this rather magical place. A totally chilled out explore with some quite interesting and quirky bits of architecture.

Hey guys..
Little late with the report but headed down to Jameah with SlimJim and Chopper. We found ourselves an open door and had a little mooch around. After hearing what we presumed was secca talking, we backtracked and headed over to the church, after snapping away here we headed round into...
Bellboys College.. what an amazing site!
This is my first post on here, i'm not 100% happy with the pictures and wouldn't mind a run back there soon, but these are a few of my favorites.. hope you enjoy :D
History..

I've been feeling blue the last few days and the best remedy, of course, is to get out and go exploring. So that's exactly what I did! I have spent so much time exploring up north recently I kind of forgot how the south holds its own gems, of which this is definitely one.
This very large...
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...
This building was actually a single room schoolhouse, and on Sundays, the chairs were turned and it served as a chapel to the small hamlet of Bedham. It was built in 1880 and abandoned in about 1960.
A nice casual explore, and one I have wanted to see for a while.
Thanks...
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any information on this one.
A nice easy 15 minute visit on my walk around the harbour.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed.

Shoreham Cement works June 13.
Due to security presence, we were confined to the one building...but what a big building to be stuck in!
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed! :)
I realise this site has been done to death, so I'll just share some of the not so common photo's.
This was another early explore of mine (and also a revisit), so please excuse the orange-ness (cloudy day setting), and the dreaded date stamp :/

The Chapel. Part of this building is now housing the sales office.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed :)
This explore was a bit of a risky one...
Alarms started ringing so we left, but took this blurry pic before I did.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed :)
Visited 2011 with Mr Bones,Tommo and Waddy.
The earliest reference to quarrying dates back to 1833,when an earthquake caused the death of a man in a rockfall.In 1906,2 wood fired kilns were installed for producing industrial grade lime,but upgraded in 1926 to 6 coal fired kilns.
As far as I...
Built in 1875 and is part of a complex of buildings that was once an orphanage dedicated to St Michael which opened in 1869.
Splored with SK, Tommo and Klempner
The floor is insulated with years of pigeon shit and you really wouldn't want to go the the scaffold supported tower either
