Leake Street Tunnel, London - March 2017

We visited this place on a 15 hour wander thru the streets of  London, meeting on Westminster Bridge at 8.30pm one Saturday evening we set off into the night.

We did rather liked this place, a graffiti free for all under Waterloo Station, London.

The graffiti changes by the day, constantly being refreshed day and night and a visit is highly recommended.

Charlestown Works, Glossop - February 2017

It was snowing, the Snake Pass was impassable. Tbolt turned the car around and we headed back home. At lower levels we had no snow, it was simply bitterly cold.

So we parked up at this derp spot, we didn't bother with the cameras, it was a mobile phone job.

Charlestown Works opened in 1792 and closed 2006, sits in development hell with the local arsonists and vandals slowly bringing the site to its knees.

Arvin Exhausts, Redisher Works, Holcombe - March 2017

Originally a bleach works for the then local cotton industry, in later life an exhaust factory.

The building sits in development hell, awaiting demolition for the possible building of proposed apartments.

Visited with Tbolt and Pork Pig, routine walk in followed by a rather large expanse of mud and water on the ground floor as the culvert at the back of the factory floods the place. Strangely the lower level is a lot dryer and thankfully not ankle deep in mud.
