The Thomas Jefferson Hotel was a 19 story luxury hotel constructed in 1926, and finished in 1929. The hotel boasted 350 rooms, a ballroom, a dining room, space for retail businesses on the ground floor, a billiard room, a barber shop, and on the roof a docking mast for zeppelins, which happens...

Explored way back in January of this year. The Centurion Psychiatric Hospital was opened in 1902, as a care facility for patients with severe mental illnesses. In total there are about 20 or so buildings making up the sprawling property, while many of the buildings are newer brick structures...

This ominous building once served as the power plant for the Central State Mental Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

The final stop on my most recent American adventure, and an absolute beast. This is in the top five, maybe three, biggest locations I have ever explored. It's probably the second largest industrial abandonment in America, after the Packard Plant in Detroit. Over two million square feet of...

The penultimate stop on my last adventure and what better way to end than with a couple more big industrial behemoths. This is one of four abandoned power stations in this particular city, but sadly the only one currently accessible. Two are completely sealed and the other one, which sits at #1...

Getting into the tail end of my last Stateside trip now - and by rights it wouldn't be one of my adventures if I didn't get to explore at least one church. In a country rapdily losing it's faith there are a massive amount of shuttered churches for the taking of all architectural styles and...

You know when you get that urge to do something impulsive and outlandish? Yeah that happened to me during my time in America. I'm not usually one for solo jaunts, least of all in a city I am still largely a stranger to, least of all when it also involves going some way into a pretty rough...

Anyone who has known me knows I have a love of abandoned schools, and especially big American ones which are completely different to the ones found over here. I was given the opportunity to visit one recently and jumped at the chance although having not heard of the place before or seen any...

Like at home in the UK, and on the continent, there are certain locations in the USA which are true longstanding icons of urban exploration. Places that are instantly recognisable to everyone connected with the hobby, to remarks such as 'oh it's THAT place' etc etc.   One of these such places...

Having had my fill of industrial goodness on day one it was time to move on to something completely different on day two...   State Schools are a very American thing, kind of halfway between a school and an asylum and, as the name suggests, owned and run by the State they are located in. They...

This was the final location visited during an awesome day of exploring heavy industry, and what a place.   The steelworks here was once one of the largest in the world, employing around 20,000 workers in it's prime. It's closure in 1982 arguably kickstarted the declining fortunes of the local...

This was one of three former steel manufacturing plants I visited on my trip, this is one I had already visited in May but jumped at the chance to go back and shoot for a couple of hours whilst waiting for another friend to get off work. This place is one of the north-eastern United States most...

I'm back from another one of my jaunts across the Atlantic, in fact I'm so soon back I still haven't recovered from the epic that was the last day coupled with jumping straight onto a six and a half hour flight smelling like something dragged out of hell itself, with no sleep in the last 30 hour...

I've read conflicting reports on the history on this particular house. It is said that the property once belonged to Bob "The Bear" Hite, the lead singer of Canned Heat, a band that became popular in the '60s. His band mates and other musicians visited frequently for jam sessions and parties.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to share my latest exploration with you all. I took a trip to the Abandoned Los Angeles Zoo which closed up business in 1966.  Be sure to take a look at the video and do a little research on the location as well. The history behind this place will shock you...

So this is it. The last report from my fourth American adventure. I started with a bang and I simply had to go out with a bang visiting the largest site of the trip.   This asylum was at one time one of the largest in the USA, catering for almost 10,000 patients at it's peak capacity in the...
