General Urbex Photos Thread!

[The Archivist]

Twitter is on an a mega go-slow and I'm in between projects so I thought I'd do something constructive instead and offload these here.

Former learning disabilities Hospital, somewhere in Sussex.
Established in the 50s as a women-only sanitorium and closed in the early 1990s. The house is lived in by a caretaker but the grounds and outbuildings are all derelict.

Hurstridge Products, Crowhurst, Surrey.
Anyone here have a carphone? Or even remember carphones for that matter? This has now been demolished to make way for housing.

WWII(?) Radio Mast, Upper Hale, Surrey
One of very few remaining wooden radio masts in the country. It's climbable, but I'm no climber.

Thanks for reading,
A

"This thread is rubbish" - **** OFF!

Of course its a good idea! some locations are not possible to photograph fully, and threads with only one or two photographs are usually moved to the pit. This fills the gap for one pic wonders and should stay.

Well, thats what I think anyway.

Lyme Regis

Nothing brilliant, but one of a flax drying tower. That's all I know about it. It can't be accessed as it appears to be in someone's garden which is enclosed by buildings all around. This was the nearest I could get.

And some from a live, working flour mill.

Just a spot I had a quick scout around before heading in this weekend

DELABOLE Railway Remains

Another Beeching Mad Axeman thing.....not a lot left but her is a few bits....

Plastic crate amongst the undergrowth of building remains....and I thought they just did beer!
Spiders name is Incy Wincy..

And the remains of a level crossing gate now firmly part of the hedgerow

Thanks

this single on hasnt appeared on here before and can not be seen on google maps as its covered by trees and is situated on the Fradley & Coventry Canal at a place called Hopwas Woods near Tamworth

100_3196 by annoyingly good, on Flickr

the woods are owned by the MOD and used by the troops at Wittington Barracks and they have manouvers there from time to time

100_3198 by annoyingly good, on Flickr

this is the dorr to a closed down and left alone pub in Tamworth that was shut a few years back after a cannabis farm was discovered on the site

100_3187 by annoyingly good, on Flickr

this is an old manufactoring factory in Ladywood Birmingham thjat was empty for years and its my own fault for not checking it out sooner because when i did i came accross a 1000 mats on the floor and strange writting on the wall...........

100_3207 by annoyingly good, on Flickr

should recognised the clues as it is now a mosque. now ive nothing against religon but i wasnt very keen on being chased out of there at a full sprint. (the persuers only stopped when i crossed the road and upon glancing back i noticed they had stopped chasing me as they had no shoes on) picture taken from a passing train

keep searching guys. finding a new site 'never been done before' can be quite rewarding

[DigitalNoise]

Not worthy of a thread itself, I thought I'd put up a few shots of the hard work that's been going on up at RAF Llanberis...



A nice shiny new door, looking brand spanking new...



Oh, maybe not!


However, the emergency escape tunnel is firmly sealed as is the other entrance from the 'tank'.

I must admit I was shocked to see this, especially as the work was only done last week was it not?

 

[Acebikerchick]

Unloved, boarded up and sad.....

Davidstow Holy Well

Hi all, here's something you would not normally see up country. Dunno if it's pure derelict places but the lawn hasn't been cut for a while!

Thanks. Good thread this ennit?
