Thought I'd show this as my first post as I see that many people on here like to play within the area . Lots of things to explore around here but I thought I'd use this first as its no longer possible to urbex these buildings without being in somebodys home .

This place was already trashed when we found it but the yobs who had trashed the place had left a very nice old mining map! Nothing that isn't already posted on the internet but its nice to have it full size on paper .

Enought talk here they are, not great at all but it was one of my first trips ot with a camera An old 1.2MP canon powershot in auto mode . These pictures are from around 2002, the place has changed since.















The next building used to be a residential property.






Sorry about the crap pictures, enjoy.

Thanks, the map was only the same as on another website but nice to have a physical copy. I don't have it anymore though, I let it go to a better cause

They would be crashing into somebodys bedroom, that place has been posh apartments for a while now like the rest of the best urbex areas. I wonder if the owners know what an oil stained place it used to be, it was much better then.
