Attercliffe Tram Shed, Sheffield - November 2015

A rather wet (extremely wet) trip to Sheffield with Tbolt, with a hop into Low Bradfield and ultimately Cannon Brewery.

Second on our list for the day was Attercliffe Tram Shed, not the most exciting of places unless your into your street art and graffiti. Now I am into paint but Tbolt had announced en-route has has no interest, at all, what so ever.

"Sir you have been to the wrong city !" I replied and the challenge was on to convert him from seeing a derelict brick shit hole as an urban art gallery.

















I think the Mortal Combat art may have converted him.




And on we moved to other sites around the city.

Soviet Aircraft Graveyard, Riga, Latvia - October 2015

If your ever kicking your feet at Riga Airport take the 5 minute walk to Riga Aviation Museum.

I personally wouldn't really call it a museum, more of a hording of Soviet era helicopters and aircraft cluttering a strip of land at the side of the airport car park behind a rather bland fence.

Hit the (the rather loud) buzzer on the gate and someone will let you in, pay the chap the 7 Euros and have a wander round this cluttered collection of wonderful Soviet Cold War relics of yesteryear.



At times it feels a bit like a junk yard, but this is part of its appeal, with guys banging away on bits of machinery. Its looks at first glance uncurated and has little pieces of string hang round some of the exhibits, as a barrier. I suspect that if the late Fred Dibnah ran a museum, it might be a little like this place.









Now top tip for Latvia, show an interest and ask - you may get and often do, such as a look inside this troop carrier.







But for me this is the star of the show






Not urbex, but very well worth a visit.

Lluesty Hospital, Holywell - November 2015

Originally built as a workhouse in the 1830s by the Holywell Poor Law Union, this North Wales hospital closed in 2008 and despite being a Grade II listed building it sits slowly rotting await in housing development hell. It is not known if Derek Acorah has visited this site.

Team Weasel reunited for a wet day out in North Wales, being Judderman, ZerO81 and my good self.





All the buildings on site are in a shocking state and every corner you turn you find signs of the local fire bugs having attempted to set fire to the place, pity the neighbours and the petrol station opposite.



Lets have a wander





















Oh my, someone has been playing with a Ouija Board.....







and it was time to leave, with a message from the afterlife.......




A pleasant potter 6/10 with the old gang and good explore to hide from the rain.

St Mary's Chapel, Lead, Yorkshire - November 2015

On my ongoing search for wonderful village churches we stumble into Yorkshire for a most excellent bit of roadside spotting, well I say roadside - this one is in the middle of a field.

St Mary's Chapel is Grade II listed and dates back to the 14th century, thought to be a chapel for a long gone medieval manor house, the chapel that remains is only 18 feet in length.

Restored between 1931 and 1934, the chapel is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.
