The Great Wiganese Derp Hunt
I'm on a roll, I've been out derp hunting again with Jaynelouise and Bigjobs. This time we decided we were going local and we're hitting up the super derps in Wigan ;)
I know, I know EVERYWHERE in Wigan has been done many many times because let's be fair there...
Rylands Mill - Pagefield College campus - Video Report - Feb 2018
I must admit guys this place is one of my favorite explores up to now, from researching the history to seeing just how dilapidated it has become. It truly was a marvel for the eyes.

Hope the photo file sizes are good as I had to reduce them due to the cap.
Brockmill first began operations around the mid-1700s and further expanded when the Earl of Balcarres bought the mill and built a furnace at Haigh foundry half a mile downstream.
The two sights prospered building...
Brock Mill video and photographic reports - 5/2/2018
A quality explore that we really enjoyed. Not the most architecturally stunning but still there's a certain beauty about decay.
Ok time to get some stuff up outta my large back log lol. History seems a little weak on this but im sure you know it by now.
Explore : Ok took 2 atempts due to gardeners round back being nosey lol. And also the original planned way was sealed. Overall was a decent mooch @stranton joined me on...
The Explore
This place seems to be the flavour of the day and is popping up everywhere recently. I loved the look of this place, nice to see decay without lots of vandalism so thought I'd pop over and have a look. Really quite enjoyed it, nice character to it :)
The History
Really struggling...
The Explore
Was around Wigan and thought we would have a look at the police station Lavino had posted recently. Only a quick one as not much to shoot other than the cells really so here goes..
The History
Tricky to find any history on this police station other than a few snippets on local...
We came across this looking for some underground stuff and was a nice little find.
Since we went I have seen in the news that parts of it have been set on fire and unsafe.
History..
In 1819, Rylands & Sons were established with their seat of operations being in Wigan.
John, the youngest...
I visited here with Lavino and a non member Tom, This was our second visit to the mansion ( as the first time I didn't have my own camera :| ) and unlike our first visit we managed to get to the upper floors. And people have been saying a lot that this place is un safe and I totally agree with...
After a few short visits here it was great to finally spend a full day here, really lets you see its hidden beauty.
Cant even begin to describe the fun I had here today was a great visit and im not gonna bore you all with a bit of crappy history off Wikipedia because you all know it...
I had seen a couple of pics from the tunnels under the Mesnes park in Wigan and a newspaper article that they were due to be capped off, I was passing by so decided for a dinner time explore to see if I could locate them.

this was my first time back here in over 3 years and the place has got a hell of a lot worse, most of the stairs have gone and a lot of the ceilings have collapsed or ready to.
The hall was built in the 1560s for the Winstanley family of Wigan; the Winstanley family were lords of the manor...
