They're allowed in context, an old cortina alone has absolutely nothing to do with derelict and abandoned buildings/areas. It's just a car.

Mooching with Pb and the Missus at the old gunpowder works. Didn't get many shots off in the rain.

The Abandoned Boiler House at Holy Trinity Church Northwitch

I've been Site Manager at the church for about 7 months now and this was my 1st explore of a part of the building I have never been into.

The Church was built in 1845, as a church for the workers on the Weaver Navigation. The land for the church, was purchased for £79 (£8,900 in 2016 from Lord Tollemache of Peckforton. The foundation stone for the church was laid on 1 July 1841 by Lord Tollemache, and the church was consecrated exactly one year later. The sandstone for building the church was given by J. L. Wright, a quarry owner from Runcorn and Weston Point. The church can seat about 430 people.

The Boiler House once had 2 large gas furnaces, which once heated the Church, the Church Hall and the former Vicarage. The Vicarage was sold to Cheshire West and Cheshire Council, several years ago (and they now have their own heating system in their cellar) The then District Heating System, (which heated the three buildings) was decommissioned about 10 years ago and the furnaces removed. There is still some signs of where the heating system used to be and a few pipes remain down there. The metal flue that ran up the side of the building has also since been removed and only the holes (where the flue was attached to the wall) remain.

Due to the rate of decay and the dangerous nature of the steps and walls down there, we are looking at possibly having the pipes capped, removed and the old Boiler House filled in. I am sorry there is only a couple of pics, it is a very small space down there and as it's so unsafe; I didn't want to risk injuring myself. However, you can see the amount of decay down there and the state of the stonework.

Above: The crumbling stone steps that lead to the garden area. (This is the only way in and out and the Boiler House is accessed, via a "Storm Cellar" type entrance. You can also see the old water pipes that fed the furnaces, at the bottom right corner of the photo.

The walls are in a bad state of repair and you can see from the photo, that the rust from the metal supports are causing the stone to rust. The old Furnaces used to stand in this space, which is to the left of the steps.

Hi blackylad, thanks for posting but there's not really enough there to warrant a full report so I've moved it to the general thread for smaller places. Hope you enjoy your stay here though.

 

[blackylad83]

Kewl, thanks. Shame it was too dangerous for me to take more pics, but I didn't fancy being caved in!

And today, this little gem was found, packed with vintage things through the windows, all untouched, and abandoned for 10 years. And then, still no entry was found... :no:

Popping these in here as not emeritus of a report. An old WWII RAF building on the Ancaster-Grantham road.

Last bit of trespassing before I leave the UK for a few months for my apprenticeship. Not enough content for a report I'm afraid, an oil fired power station that began operation in 1981 and was decommissioned in 2015, one of the few power stations with black start capability meaning it could be fired up without an external power supply helping restore power to the grid in case of an incident.

 

[SlimJim]

Fine bit of trespass and infiltration once again, Mr.K!

 

[flyboys90]

That's a beauty!
