What a place this is had a awesome morning here making our way around the site clambering across rusty walkways and finding all the live machines. Baffled as to why this place isn't visited more often as its one of the most enjoyable places I have visited
:) Not that happy with my pictures from...
For a few months, Mookie and I had been planning a little Euro Derp trip; but funds forced us to stay on homeland. As we all know, most stuff is up North, so we decided to take 4 days off, book 3 nights in 2 different Premier Inns in the North and crack a whole list of Northern Sites.
I picked...
A visit to this place has been a loooooong time coming for me. It first foiled me when I turned up in 2011 and found it sealed, and again a couple of years after that the same story sadly repeated itself. On something of a fail day around Stoke on the first leg of mine and Landie Man's big...
After a visit in the dark a while back me and Fat Panda headed over after work for a look in the daylight a couple times this week and the place is awesome! Ace having a playground like this so local to me!
:D
Cheers for looking :thumb

[CENTER]After Cwm Coke we checked out a couple of possible new places one of which was well sealed and the other appeared to be currently occupied by workers (on a Sunday!) so we sacked them off for another day and started to head home via this factory which I had pinned for some time as...
After hearing about this place from a friend we decided to have a look around. Access was easy enough and we quickly made our way into the first building, however some of the machines were still running, and had the keys left in which was strange. :errr: Despite this we carried on and found an...

A great location, explored with the usual great company of Session9, and a non-member. An early start again, and the usual monster breakfast washed down with some coco-pops, or vice versa, too damn early to remember. Without a doubt the funniest access and egress plan to...
Originally, gas was only used for lighting for a few hours at the start and end of each day. Storing gas was the solution to make it over a longer period. The first gas holders were a “bell†floating in a tank of water. Calibration marks were used to show on the floating bell showed...
After a day of totally rubbish fails and nothing of note in Liverpool me and Punto Man were a little disheartened but had a good sleep and as this place was within easy walking distance of our hotel for the night set off a little reinvigorated and hopeful....and whaddaya know, we got in.
Mostly...
A recent visit to this well known old toolmakers, the last time I was here was back in 2012 and too be honest it hasn’t changed that much since then.
I ditched the wide angle here and took all these shots with a Canon 40mm pancake lens. It’s the first time I’ve really used...
After our visit to a very secret court location (here- http://www.oblivionstate.com/forum/showthread.php/6948-dA-ep1c-cort-toR-daT-n01-haz-seeN-Sheffield-Feb-2014 ) we went to an almost unknown area up the road, epic splores were had. And for those who get botred easily, there is a story here...
This one turned out to be super scary access - it's a wing and a prayer job. Would recommend you wear brown pants :eek: And the site is part live too...
The company was an industrial parts manufacturer established in 1930. They made tools, belt driven machinery, transmissions and...
This was my first port of call for the day, my nephew was going to come with me for the day but was unable too. This place is not really one for a solo visit but as I wanted to go there I just went on my own. I did try last August but failed to get in, so a couple of members gave me the entry...
