This plant treated the wastewater that was produced by the 5 Pickler at a steel mill. I believe it was closed sometime around 2013. The place was pretty much untouched by vandals or explorers. The mess inside was created by the demo crew as it is slated for demolition soon. Everything was left...

Built in 1871 but had been refurbished at some point.  Now, I don't do heights.. So I was chuffed to see my mate practically run towards it in excitement and go first. It was pretty high and the grated floor was not ideal if you wanted to avoid looking down.  The tower probably stands around...

My first post to this forum. Today we visited a factory somewhere in Belgium.  It used to be a plant where soda but mostly water was bottled and then prepared for distribution to grocery stores in Belgium and surrounding countries.  The factory stopped being productive because of  a severe...

History The works was built in 1913 and extended in 1954, to purify water from the Strines, Dale Dike and Agden reservoirs. In 1930 it had the first telephone installed in Bradfield and served well with the Yorkshire Water Authority taking over in in 1974. The UK’s water industry became...

Former water tower. Don't know much about this place, but it was cool to visit something different. Didn't made it to the top, too lazy  :wink: . When we just finished this place, security came along, luckily they didn't caught us. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Visit I was told about this place by some pensioner explorers who loved the street art around Sheffield, set off the week after to have a look for ourselves. Set in a lovely little village, not much left inside now but some amazing street art in there! The History The water works was...

Explored with Raz on the off chance we could get in Bit of background; As the village of Ackworth grew significantly in the 1970s with several large new housing developments, water pressure became a problem. The solution was to give Ackworth a water tower of its own. Previously the water tower...

First post on here so here goes; While working away last week over in Ellesmere Port near Liverpool i found myself bored and stuck on my own in a hotel, so after a quick google search which gave me nothing but derp or demolished buildings, i decided on the good old method of getting out on foot...

Visited with Maniac, The_Raw and MiaroDigital. The tower was originally a Martello tower which was part of the UK Napoleonic defenses, there were over 100 of these towers built along the south coast in the 1800's. It was converted into a water tower in 1902 (in fact there are two of them on the...

Visited with various people along the way, but always with Fortknox0 and most of the time with obscurity, it was fun cracking these and a great sense of achievement once all three were done! :) . The three plants are all connected by pipes and tunnels....I think, and all play a part in the...

And so concludes my back posting, I may dig out the odd one. Note I did not put on an archive note in the title as this is too recent, the others from early 2013 have one :P So this is cropping up all over the net now, I went with a mate who kindly drove. Not much history on it, looks to...

Back in 2009 this was quite a nice little urbex, but now its trashed. At the time I was a new explorer and scared off some weeks previous to this by a scary man who worked there! 2009: Finally, we wrapped the day up with the good old Water Eaton Grain Silo! This place is amazing and is so...
