Longcross for me was a long time coming, decided to finally visit over the Easter bank holiday weekend.

In view of the fact that the place closed in 2000 I am pleasantly surprised at what I found. An easy explore in good company.

Explored (as ever) with Sneaky Fox.

Mariner and I had a few spare hours to kill over Easter and so decided to hit the road and head to Longcross. Rumour had it that some vandalism had occurred therefore we decided to go and take a look. We found the place to be in good condition considering it had been closed for several years.

Longcross was a former MOD site until it was abandoned in approx 2000.

However it is understood that demolition has now started.

Here's some of my pictures
