This is my first report so firstly my apologies if I have missed anything out and secondly thank you for reading!
History.
I don't know great deal about this house but I did find a photo of the house on Historicengland.org.uk dated to 1935. I do not have permission to use the photo so have not included it in this thread. The previous owner of Skyring lived there for 20 years having bought the property in 2001 for £350,000. They sold the property in April 2021 for £1.8million. This house...

In spring, we embarked on a journey to an undisclosed location in the French countryside. We've uncovered a hidden car cemetery, nestled within a forest - forgotten and forsaken. This is a treasure trove of historical rarities, some of which are only found in museums today.
A variety of vehicles has accumulated in this clearing. A few inhabited houses stand on the edge of the forest, but no one seems to feel responsible for this collection anymore. The...

Been waiting to post this beautiful house. Now most likely redeveloped and living it's best life, again. Out of respect for the new owner who I have had contact with in the past , they'll be no history. I know it's not so enjoyable without a report on the history, but I hope you enjoy the pictures.
This was a solo explore , just me and my dog Barney. Downstairs had to be the most creepiest place I ever explored, so dark and dilapidated.

Earlier in the year I was doing some contract work in the new Starbucks formally The Plug and Feathers, Glapwell, Derbyshire.
The downstairs coffee shop was just about completed, my work was upstairs where much was unchanged except where they
had gone through the ceilings below for the air conditioning ducts and vents etc.
The site was known as "Ma Hubbards" and before that The Glapwell Hotel according to Wikipedia, apparently it never reopened
after the first lockdown...

Hi everyone.
I have been interested in military history for many years, mainly fortifications and love looking around derelict places with any history. It's good to see so many people with the same interests.

Wolverhampton Eye Infirmary
Nothing new here Im afraid but this place is still quite photogenic IMO.
The Infirmary was built by Wolverhampton builders Henry Willcock & Co. at a cost of £13,000 and opened in 1888, providing three men's and three women's wards with thirty beds and five children's cots. A significant...

This exploration felt like a leap into the unknown. Before we embarked on this trip to France, we couldn't find any information about this château veiled in silence, nor the family that once called this home.
To unravel this story, we had to investigate on-site. Engaging with neighbors wasn't an option. We tried to move like ghosts, avoiding any unwanted attention - because there was actually a police station right across this deserted manor! Our...

For those aware the Kettering Conference Centre has partially closed as far as I can see. Jem's Diner is being demolished/renovated and of course I am still here. Just that their has not been the weather for the urbexes that I have planned for 2023.
2022 was a ram-packed year for me doing 10 urbexes alone that year. I do have a plan to return to the Santa Pod Scrappy or Dumpimg Ground as some of you called it but you have to have a sense of humour. I did have RAF Kings Cliffe and Overstone...
