Permanite Asphalt, Matlock - May 2017

Visited with Tbolt and Snapt, whilst Mrs Tbolt went shopping and got the grub and pop in.

Tucked away on the edge of the town, this industrial gem sits in development hell and is a rather photogenic derp of a gem. Sadly a quick visit and my photos don't give the place justice.

Tbolt was rather disappointed, but I love places like this.

For me, a little gem of a place, 6/10

Shouts to Mrs Tbolt for an excellent choice of grub.

Magpie Mine, Sheldon - September 2013

Magpie Mine, Sheldon, Derbyshire - worth a mooch both Tin Dog and I thought, an 18th century lead mine in some of England's finest countryside and only an hours drive from Manchester.

A favorite mooch of many an urban explorer who is fed up of grime and slime, industrial heritage with fresh air and cow poo.

So what we have here is a cursed industrial site, a scene of murders it says in this here guide book - made a nice change to buy a guide book (and only one shiny English Pound).

 

An enchanting place, they have a website and I'm not going into the history of this place, get in the car and buy a guide book to the place when you get there. DE45 1QU is the postcode for your satnav, pop into Sheldon village on your wayback for a beer or to the tea shop, Sheldon is a beautiful village - now get off your arse.







Still here ??? One last pic, off you trot go and get some Derbyshire air in your lungs.
