Golden Grove mansion is my choice. Look forward to see that post.

This is really not meriting a report, so popping this bit of Shedbex in here:

Shedbex, looks familiar someway?

Really not worth writing a full report on this one but wanted to share a few pics anyway

This building used to house a handful of corner shops and a large number of low life prats above it... you know, the ones that mug people and deal that stuff that makes you go funny. Part of the local redevelopment saw the place being brought down to the ground and a new modern development rising from the ashes.

This is getting a bit of a second home for me in here - must get out on some proper explores! These set of pictures are from the centre of Sheffield and more for record than anything else.

The old complex centred around the Grosvenor Hotel includes the former Casbah nightclub, shops and the odd fast-food outlet. Most are now empty ready for demo. The spent ages stripping the hotel of asbestos which provided a bit of a headache given it's central location. The other place - the former Salvation Army HQ is just round the corner and on the market for a potential buyer. Just externals here. The odd person has got into the hotel but have never been that fussed.

Love a mooch around Portland, don't know what the huge bare concrete place is or was, can't decide if its half unbuilt or half demolished?! Will go and do some research...

 

[jammy]

ok just checked..former navel buildings...there is another similar block nearby which is now 'luxury' flats...although this block to have stalled somewhat...

The old Southern Water Control bunker built some time during the 1980s. Used to be mint up until a couple of years ago. Alas, I never got around to seeing it until now and there's not much left to see. How it stayed so mint for so many years right near a busy motorway I have no idea. We were saying that it would make an awesome house. Pity it's going to waste.

There actually used to be a Faraday cage in here, but it's been nicked. Anything that hasn't been nicked has been smashed or crapped on.

Entrance with blast door.

There were other rooms, but they were all pretty much stark bare and covered in more **** graff.

That's actually not a bad price I'm sure it's sky rocketed since then if it's still up for sale though. Good spot!

Here's a few pictures of RAF Gamston near Retford. Going to do a proper visit and report on this place when time allows.

Tis true sir. And they were gentlemen to a tee. While we were on stage someone nicked our rider so they gave us theirs! Here's a picture of me with guitarist Damian O'Neill...

This is the remains of Shaw (or Schaw) Church, a United Free Church built to serve the now vanished mining community of Trabboch in Ayrshire. The church was abandoned in 1956 and was used aa a store by a farmer for a few years afterwards.
