'Twas a nice easy mooch from about a year ago with @Urbexbandoned. Because I'm so far behind in posting reports I always have to go back and read Tracey's report to jog my memory so I can write some shite here as an intro. I can remember it was a boiling hot...
Soooooo after seeing a couple of reports go up recently covering this part of the old college, and tried previously on numerous attempts with no avail a few years ago when we managed the sports hall and Withersdane Hall parts, i decided now was the time to return and have another go.

Two large deep shelters have been found at South Foreland Battery, the first of which had been sealed in the late 1980's and re-opened again in 2002. Conditions inside are poor with wet rot and fungus growing everywhere, possibly posing a health risk. Two sealed exits also appear slightly...
History (taken from The_Raw)
Great Tew Manor was originally built around 1730, with extensions added in 1834 and 1856. Shortly after the First World War the owner died and the house was left empty until the 1960s. A further period of neglect in the 80s left most of the house uninhabitable.

History
It is likely that the tunnels were originally the result of chalk being mined for lime burning in the nearby kilns during the 19th Century. The five roughly parallel tunnels are cut directly into the chalk cliff face with adjoining passages between, and have very high ceilings and...
Salem Chapel, Arthog, North Wales – May 2017
Nearing the end of our North Wales Tour in May, Mookster and myself headed for Arthog for this little gem tucked away in the woods!
We had to loiter next to my car on the road outside while a VERY Hawk Eyed elderly couple swept leaves from their...
Maenofferen Slate Quarry, Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales – May 2017
Still on Day Two of our North Wales Tour back in May; Mookster and myself arrived to the site of an enormous walk up to the remaining buildings at Maenofferen Slate Quarry. Oh my was it a walk… We followed the well trodden...
Garth Presbyterian Church, Porthmadog, North Wales – May 2017
After a lovely early morning on the second day of our North Wales Road Trip, Mookster and myself recced many places around Caenarfon which didn’t really lead to any success sadly. Finally, we got into this absolutely gorgeous...
Ferodo Brake Components, Caernarfon, North Wales – May 2017
The Ferodo factory in Caernarfon; Friction Dynamex; was opened by Princess Margaret in 1962. By the late 1960s it employed up to 1,100 making braking components and friction pads.
The site was bought by American; Craig Smith in 1997...
Minffordd Hospital, Bangor, North Wales – May 2017
So, the next stop on mine and Mooksters pretty successful road trip of North Wales back in May. This was a ten minute whistle stop tour of a very, very trashed explore which was hardly worth the space on my SD Card!!!!
Still, it’s all about...
P.D. Bricks L.T.D., Llandulas, North Wales – May 2017
As Always! I have a huge backlog of sites to get up! It’s been a slow old year, but myself and Mookster had a pretty successful North Wales trip back in May!
P.D. Bricks operated this North Welsh Brick Production Facility until 2008; when...
Lluesty Hospital, Holywell, North Wales – May 2017
So in true recent Landie style; I have a huge backlog of sites to get up! So far 2017 has been a very slow year on the exploring front, but Mookster and I had a rather successful road trip back in May of North Wales.
The first site we did...
Afternoon,
Thought i had lost these pictures forever, but alas numerous devices raided for pictures and i managed to rescue enough to warrant a report. Had my eye on this place from the moment it closed, situated in a village with most of my family in it. Infact often looking out across the...
Very well-known and therefore for British Explorer probably no more a very interesting abandoned place. But I liked the blue ceiling wich I knew from photos (and that reminds me of the former Belgian Chateau de Noisy).
Locally I wasn't disappointed. Although unfortunately very destroyed by...
I found this church from the 13th century, almost 3.5 hours from London, during the research for my last UK tour. I only knew that it was no longer used and had no idea if it would be accessible. I had little hope of that, but at least I wanted to try it.
After a seemingly endless drive I...
This was a chance find in late 2015 with a second visit in early 2016. Although someone - presumably a family member - had tried to do some 'sorting' they hadn't got very far. At the time it had been un-lived in for quite some years I'd say.
There wasn't much to reveal specific detail about who...
So here we have an abandoned quarry in Suffolk. Having a look online I can't find any info about the site.
Apparently there was some work done here in 2016. It doesn't seem that way to me. Anyway just a short video I put together. Not much to see here but the aggregate sorter.
Thanks for...
Oakwood Farm

A farm in Norfolk with a blue toilet which I liked. Good quality mahogany seat which was a bit dusty and the flush was defective. Toilet roll was scratchy on the anus area and dusty too. A farmer and his wife and possibly kids lived here at some point in the...
