Stuff like that intrigues me some good pics there bud im guessing youre already on the UE sites like 28dayslater i often have a read through those sites tis really interesting especially if its somewhere near to you as there are loads of places like that around here i always wonder what theyre like inside as i drive past them, good pics/post spot on mate:thumb:


*edit*


You and rexy posted while i was typing lol

Stanley
01-01-09, 02:50 PM
Some of the pics are a bit blurry as we could get a good Auto-focus point and manually was quite hard as there is NO light in there at all.

You get the jist though.

Last lot of pics that some of my mates did got into the local paperlol

:P your too slow Ner ner ner. . .

There was some good pics from the boddington's brewery before it was knocked down in manchester, I love old stuff like this, we went to a place in wigan once but we didnt want to break into it and it was covered in camera's. we found the security room and some old sheds with loads of random stuff inc a tractor. I think that was an old boarding school or somthing.

There is also an old baby unit in wigan, part of the hospitals which is no longer used which needs exploring but this dates back a long long time ago.

just opened my eyes back to stuff like this as it used to be pretty good funn.

01-01-09, 02:54 PM
Theres a couple more buildings around here too.

One is a derelict old folks home thats half burnt and covered by security - even more fun ;)

Rexy
01-01-09, 02:57 PM
if you speak to security, and just say you'd like to have a look round as your doing a project for uni or some **** they usually are pretty alright with you ;)

Jack
01-01-09, 02:57 PM
Odd how all that stuff has just been left there. I'd have thought the LEA would have cleared all the junk out or sold the land for redevelopment

There's an old abandoned nuclear bunker type place hidden up round here. And a derelect special home which is always getting set on fire

Stuff like thats cool, weve never been in any dissused buildings but we have been in an old underground railway tunnel.
Was an urban legend when i was biking round the local villages and such round here years ago then last year i found it on 28dayslater, was part of the old hull to barnsley railway line was built in the 1800s and now lies deep underground and forgotten as its dissused and its over a mile long underground and its hard to believe it was dug/cut out of the chalk/clay hills by guys with shovels and not industrial machinery!

Heres a report on it from 28dayslater not by me i might add lol

I think that is actually in the old railway tunnels under Friargate in Derby which is not far from me.

Old hospitals & mental institutes seem to be the favourite of urban explorers and finding the mortuary seems to be the main objective of most of them. Some of these places look proper freaky.
