This was a great visit, apart from the fact I had a really bad cold!
22 flights of stairs climbed and we finally were at the top... I almost died there and then through coughing!
There wasn't much of interest in the actual tower itself as it was pretty stripped out, but the views from the roof...
With the right equipment and with an UrbExing friend to keep me company (as it'd be both scary and dangerous to solo it), I visited the basement.
I was told it was massive, but it was larger than I expected it to be.
On with the photos.
Thanks for looking :)
This place is where many Derby UrbExers started out. I had to wait a fair while for the right opportunity to appear and when it did, I took it!
Visited with 2 non-forumers.
"The (Derby) Friargate Line is a now closed railway line that was part of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension of...
This was one of my very first explores, visited with Urban Witness.
The place is a proper derp and no doubt would have been a lovely home at one time.
This place is so much of an unsecure place that we parked the car on the driveway outside and walked through the gate !! :o

Another great place to visit as most of you will know by now,
Visited in may of 2013 with urban witness & urban sentry. It seamed like ages to walk over the field so we could approach from the rear of the place then finding the way in was also not such an easy task !! .... but needless to...
This was our first 'proper' explore, visited with Urban witness.
The explore was on a windy day, so with the noises from the old buildings creaking and doors blowing shut mixed with the barking of a nearby dog you could safely say our nerves were on edge ! :(
This is a cracking place with a...
So its been a few weeks since I visited here with my Mrs, and Zotez from 28. We got in nice and early, and what a lovely warm day we had for this!
Here is some history stolen off Phantom Bish from 28dayslater
I seriously wasn't sure what sort of feel to go for on this. Its a lovely building...
Finally I get to post this report! My PC was down so photo editing was impossible...
I wrote this one off as it was a derp for many years, but a non forum member, and Mookster wenrt to explore this. It turned out to be a good explore as it had been opened..
Quoted from PCWOX and slightly...
Actually come out OK in the photos.
Visited with Els from 28
Been meaning to do this one for quite sometime now. About 4 years. Sadly its stripped, wrecked, ruined and looking very sad for itself.

Slightly adapted title due to a hoo-ha on the radio a while back. It is said security measures were stepped up since my visit, more bulls maybe? Not sure, anyway, this was an awesome explore but sadly has prayed victim to the hands of dirty, filthy thieves.

Totally demolished. Still one of my favorite explores. Oh the memories!!!

My report sparks controversy round MK, as the council appeared to lie about the condition of the pool.

2013:
I assume this is still here as the development of the school swamps it
2012:
Well here is the report of the chapel I didn't manage to get into before. Access was available this time round.
No we did not light that candle. I can only assume we scared off someone who was practicing...
2013:
Demolished, now being turned into Morrisons

I found this on another urbex forum. After not really doing much exploring recently, I decided to give it a shot. I visited this place with Northern_Ninja, and was the designated driver for this day!
Once a hive of activity, this...

Demolished
2012:
All credit to Northern_Ninja for this one.
Very little info on this site, but many things appeared to have go on here. It seems the previous owner was a mechanic, but dabbled in chemistry and biology, with the embalming fluids and letters from chemical suppliers.

Probably Converted
2012:
This is nothing special to be honest, just an old Norton Tools factory in Hertfordshire.
Not much info anywhere tbh.
Thanks to Greg, AKA, Nothern_Ninja from 28 days for driving

I believe these are now converted.

What can I say? Stripped bare. Not really much to write home about.
Open: October 1943
Closed: 1991/92

This school was built in 1903, as an Independent school for boys. By 1939, the school educated 800 pupils.
A junior school was built on site in 1929, but...

Still there looking good!

I have been wanting to get inside this since 2009, and TBM managed to get us (Me, His girlfriend, my girlfriend and me) some permission as its has always been tight.
Please excuse some of the pissed shots, I'm getting used to a tripod with no spider...
2013:
Now a total derp... Scaff gone and open to elements
2012:
Thought I'd drop mine in a late submission. This place was odd to say the least, but I really liked it as an explore, certainly not too bad at all.
Abandoned around 2005, looks like the occupants were insolvent and ran away...
