Paid a flying visit back to good old Water Eaton today and was shocked at how badly a battering it has had recently presumably by the same muppets. Someone piled up all sorts of crap on the second from top floor on the wooden hatch, set fire to it and the whole lot fell right through the building through the hatch holes landing in a pile on the ground floor. The water in the basement has reached halfway up the staircase leading down into it as well but luckily the pipe seems to have been turned off, unless it itself has been covered by water now. Also some muppet removed the top of the second, smaller pipe on the roof and lobbed it off the side along with most of the rubble and loose metal off the top floor.

@themousepolice, i've seen that as you go past on the train to derby from burton.. I did ponder if you could stroll in casually for a goose!..

hi. yes i drive on that route alot........ god help me......... most of my searches come from places spotted while driving locomotives and Derby seems to be full of them. once i find the location of the warehouse i can give it a go.
the old Rolls Royce labs are very tantilising. about 60 % of it is moth-balled and the rest rented out to individual companies and i really want to go back so i can combine visits. (like a fool i spent too much time dodging the cameras only to walk straight into an employee... he wasnt very happy)
anything is better than field walking for pill boxes right ?

haha, yeah.. unless your harry potter with an invisibility cloak.. then everything is fine (mischief managed) Sorry went to see harry potter finale today
.. I guess 60% is better than 0% perhaps?.. research always comes first though, There are a few places i still need to explore in good ol derby and swad..Oh and yes Pill boxes aren't really my taste, maybe coz they remind of me how i had to take pills after every meal in my yout..
A slightly tweaked picture of Buxton culvert
50 metres under ground, the step is the least of your worries
No, the biggest worry is that your torch batteries will expire while you are down there
And something from the usual suspect in Derby.... The GNR Warehouse (which has been set on fire yet again).
Is that Middletons favourite mine?
Found this while walking around in a quarry

Few from a very limited visit to Dunloe Lodge near Maidenhead, owing to the lack of any and all floors except one spot in the entrance hall and the brick floor of the boiler room!It had a spectacularly bad structural crack in the right hand side of the building as well, about an inch wide going from floor to ceiling!
You can't quite tell from this angle but the large bit of charred wood going through the middle of the photo is actually the edge of a chunk of floor about 10ft square, balanced precariously on the top of a wall!

Urban regeneration
You would think that this was in run down part of the outskirts of town, but it in fact it's right at heart of town about 100 yards from the main shopping centre. It must have a lucky charm because whilst the whole area has succumbed to major regeneration, somehow V. Norris the drapery has escaped the cull, as has ABC cabs next door (six-digit phone number with no prefix).
It's in a pretty advanced state of decay, so much so that practically only the facade remains, along with a portion of the upstairs building, which I do not have a scooby how to access. It would be nice to see the building restored, if only just to preserve the signage.

This is an odd one. I was trawling through a huge amount of negatives when I came across some pics of this boarded-up building. I've no idea what it was or where it was, but I think I've narrowed it down to Stourbridge in Worcs. They were taken on an instamatic, which was a sod to scan, lol, and I apologise for the bad quality. Not sure when they were taken, but I'd guess during the early 1970's. Urbexer in the making! 
Just two out of the set, but these were the best, believe it or not.
