Attached to a building?

[underitall]

Great thread!
For me its RNAS, Portland, more spceific, up in the Control Tower, so peaceful, when your not crapping yourself because of the birds!
Iv been there 3 times, and allways want to go back.

RAF Yatesbury

RAF Yatesbury is still as it was for the last number of years looks like all the development has grinded to a halt, the only slight problem is the wholw site is now fenced off and one hanger is used to store motor vehicles . Although we did sneek in and managed to take some great glamour shots with the derelict buildings as a backdrop we did ask around but the owner lives in Oman and is not available .
We have tried to contact the estate agents that deal with the property but never got an answer back so we suspect the owner has not paid them either and the property has just been left to it's own devices.

We love the location and try to take photo shoots there as often as we can.

Wow, old thread. For me it has to be Barrow Gurney. My first explore and revisited many 'o time, not to mention very local .

I got very attached to one in Germany... by a pailing spike through my pants... does that count?

mine has to be a toss up between Accrington Conservative club and Blackburn Royal Infirmary

in terms of emotional attachment - i wpould say BRI wins by a head -

i have spent the night there - no sleep just night shots and attempting to ninja past the security to gain access to previously denied wings

and sat in the dark / cold / wet to recce security and develpe new entry points to stay one step ahead

but BRI is now under demolition / convesion - the con club is stil there - all be it in dire staits - it looks reeasonably fine from the outside - but the roof is trashed - and water damage is getting worse

and almost no one cares - the councill just boarded it up - and ignored the roof - now its sealed drum tight - but i know no repairs have happened

i have exhausted the ` standard avenues ` - for example the buildings at risk register will only accept grade two star properties - the con club only has grade two status


how do i advance the "cause" ???

I would love for you to fill out a survey on what you want to see happen to the conservative club. I know the owner and I am asking members of the local community to fill out a survey on their opinion of what they think should be done with it. I will then pass them on to the owner. I don't think it will make much of a difference though as he as told me that it has fallen into disrepair and there is no option but to demolish it,
but together maybe we could save this building!?
Have you ever been inside it while it has been derelict?

SAVE ACCRINGTON CONSERVATIVE CLUB!!

I definitely feel a level of attachment to the Rank Hovis Mills in Ramsgate. My first explore, and have been there countless times as it is near me. Recently been sealed up - although I feel it needed this, as in recent times I bumped into metal thieves every time I was in there.

Very much so. Very attached to Central tv Studios. I think its because I have a interest in television transmissions anyway.

Its going to go soon and I dont want it to

Been there 10 times now

Ha and 4 years later its still there. Although stripped and sod all to see now

Lol Virus there probably were people in there, when I visited there were squatters!

The most unnerving building I have been in. As soon as I went in I wanted to get out. Hated it.

ALL the buildings at Beelitz Heilstatten.

The Thames Water bunker in Blunsdon, back in my more drunk school life loads of us used to use it to chill out in when the weather was too bad to trawl the village. I've even slept down there a couple times. Seems a shame now, back then I didn't appreciate what it was, the I got into UE and things changed, I went down and took loads of photos and generally gained more of an appreciation for it.

It's not gone, and provably won't, but Thames Water have stuck some massive CCTV cameras, the sort that pick up heat and zoom like fudge in on it. So going there is risky to say the least now. Especially given we are only 5 mins from the Swindon main police station at Gablecross.

Might sound odd but I have a love for Cwm Coke Works.

My first solo 'splore and have spent three days there so far from sunrise to sunset and I just love the place.

If anyone in charge of cwm is reading this, please don't break it
