Tales of the Urban Explorer: The Gas Station

An abandoned 'Gas Station', or as we say here 'Petrol Station' is usually less than exciting. My stint in the USA has worn holes in me and my diction at times. For

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Bromborough Steam Switching Room

"Down there?" It looked like the right direction, but neither of us was sure. While the warning sign deters 'Fly Tipping', it doesn't caution anyone about

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Parsons Glass & Glazing

If I was to be completely honest, we were a tad little visiting ‘Parsons Glass & Glazing’. Razor the Goth had beaten us by around a week, and the view had changed

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Eldon Grove Estate

‘Revolutionary housing’ was the buzzword in 1911 when ‘Eldon Grove Estate’ was built. This was an attempt to replace the slums of Liverpool’s ‘Vauxhall’ area with

Tales of the Urban Explorer: The William Shakespeare

How old is the ‘William Shakespeare’? There’s mention of the 1960’s, but in the UK, that is considered new. Someone else comments... the 1860's, but I doubt it,

Tales of the Urban Explorer: The British Rope Works

My last trip to Liverpool was around two years ago, and it was one of the more fruitful expeditions I remember in recent times, in terms of quantity, but not necessarily

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Black Abbey Street

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Duckworth Cleaning Products

Over two years had passed since our visit to ‘Abandoned Scan’, in which we found a massive warehouse full of junk, valuable stuff; I don’t know what you would call

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Abbyfield Care Home

"Are you going in there?" said the spiky-haired urchin riding on what looked like a home-made cycle. He wasn't the typical little shit we tend to expect,

Tales of the Urban Explorer: St Peter and Pauls Church

Derelict Churches, I am not a fan. If you want to see a church, just walk in and covertly take some shots when the vicar is not looking. What’s the difference between

Abandoned project on a busy street

I think this is the first post I'm writing here. It must have been over thirty years since I knew this building was abandoned. I even have a subconscious feeling

Saved By Art

Exploring 100 Year Old Rail Tunnel Under Huge Factory

This old abandoned plant is a place that I have frequented many times. To explore, do photoshoots and for light painting. This time it was because of a person who

Abandoned Mid Century Classic House
