Stunning shots, I like the electric chair!!
Few pics from some mooches...
Very strange camp we found in part of an old fort. They'd fashioned hammocks from hippo bags and furniture from old palettes. They even had coat hangers and a brazier made from an old gas bottle! The place was quite well kept, which makes me think it's probably not junkies or alcoholics living there but perhaps migrants.
Finally gave the sound mirrors a visit!
Grabbed an opportunist shot of this twin magazine whilst passing through the area on foot.

This would have been a full revisit report if I wasn't chased out of the field by a herd of mad cows! Reported on this place ages ago (Old Croxton Park House). Was shocked when I arrived last time as all the vegetation had been cleared and the place scaffolded. Three years on I thought it was time for a revisit to see what progress had been made. And it was absolutely none. As Dirus_Strictus originally pointed out, it now appears scaffolding wasn't a prelude to restoration but more there for the stabilisation of an unsafe structure (as per the rules appertaining to Listed Buildings at risk in England).

Note: if you look at the picture from three years ago below and the first picture above, the remaining roof section on the left hand side has now collapsed:

The Isolated Classroom. Not sure if this is quite worth this having it's own thread, so it's on here.

A classroom? Maybe it has something to do with the football park outside. Maybe changing rooms, but didn't see any except two redundant toilets. Odd one this one but why put a classroom out in the middle of nowhere.
This could have been a set of changing rooms, but the way someone wrote down these made it get it's "classroom" title.
Some randoms from the Atlantikwall at Hoek Van Holland in the Netherlands. We stopped by on the way through to Amsterdam, but the site was so dispersed and overgrown it was difficult to find a huge amount of it. After being cooked in the sun, scratched and stung to crap, we did as much as we could find and moved on. Here's the few pics I got...
An internal loophole. One of these for every entrance to this particular complex.
Odd pump of some sort. Found this in a gun emplacement. I reckon it was to remove flood water from a sump.
I'd love to spray paint the face of the little turd that graffed over this original drawing denoting distances across the dunes.
Bit more from the other side of the emplacement.
Big ups to Dick Derpin (f.k.a. Prickly_buzz) for driving. Will bung my people shots on the self portraits thread

Visited with Slim,
To the Jim.
Early morning,
The sun was just dawning,
A pattering of paws we did hear,
As the falcon we drew near.
A dog sniffling by my feet,
I begin to taste defeat,
A torch passing overhead,
Still we stay dead.
Footsteps in front of us fall,
A whistle,
No longer does the dog us eyeball,
Face down in thistle.
Still we lay,
light moves further away,
fuck we utter in unison,
this space ship is a toxin.
To the exit we do go,
Vehicle headlights behind us do glow,
In the forest we do collapse,
Jim his go pro he does not find,
Our fate is signed.
In again we go,
Fingertip searching,
Jim finds his go pro,
Forward I go jogging.
Through the trees,
I begin to wheeze,
There I see it before my eyes,
Space ship from the darkness rise.
Dogs begin to bark,
Bringing an end to this lark,
Engine begins to roar,
Time to go I know the score.
Set your phasors to woof woof

Not enough pix to merit a full report so popping it in here. The place in question is St. Judes' Anglican Church (later Pentacostal) which can be found between Cupola and Copper Street, Moorfields. Building work started in 1844 and was completed circa 1858. The building has been extensively altered but some of the original architecture remains. Wasn't geared up for exploring plus it looked like it was being used as a squat so didn't hand around.

Nicely done. I see that there has been a presence, best to leave things as they are. Go in, take photos and leave. Your first shot shows the door with elaborate hinges, I like those hinges and I've seen a few examples on other churches in other posts.

Cheers Hugh. Those hinges are special aren't they? There's a nice main hall upstairs too so maybe next time.
Was wandering around some completely stripped bare corridors, right back to the bricks and concrete, then opened a big heavy wooden door and found this behind it:
Seriously.
Seriously.
