Urbex DevilHere’s a little generic history shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia…
“Royal Observer Corps Monitoring Posts are underground structures all over the United Kingdom, constructed as a result of the Corps’ nuclear reporting role and operated by volunteers during the Cold War between 1955 and 1991.
Great little explore this one, though little is the key word there. Great to kill some time though! Unfortunately most of the internals had been removed apart from a table, toilet and two chairs.
Here’s a little generic history shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia…
Strugling to find many details on Houghton Grange and only being small number of reports online, from what I do know though is The facility was a government owned animal testing facility. The site is pretty secure with high tech wizardry cameras and the main building itself appeared to be under redevelopment so we were unfortunately unable to gain access, however a large number of outer buildings were accessible and have been pictured.
Not much to say here really… it’s a pig farm!
History shamelessly stolen from another report found on google…
Return to this one to finish off the sections we missed back in October last year. Absolute massive site, however still not sharing that location 😉
Not much to report on this one, only it hasn’t been reported before. Abandoned some time around Christmas 2014 this doctors surgery was used to aid people with learning difficulties as well as those with psychosis.
American military forces were first stationed at High Wycombe in 1942, shortly after the United States’ formal entrance into the Second World War. So urgent was the action that Wycombe Abbey School, situated on the land that would become the station, was given three weeks to find new facilities; failure in this effort led to the school’s closing, until the independent girl’s school was returned by the US in 1945.
A revisit and re-explore on this site covering the bits missed previously. But just in case you missed our previous report, here’s the history again.
Derbyshire Royal Infirmary (DRI) was established in 1810 on land formerly part of Derby’s Castlefield estate on land near what is now Bradshaw Way and the A6 London Road. It was known as the Derbyshire General Infirmary at the time. In 1890 a Typhoid outbreak sweeped through the hospital, and the buildings design was blamed.
Not much history on this one, or more so none we would like to share anyway 😉 Also testing out our new DSLR on this trip!
