Want a Vote?

Tales of the Urban Explorer: Bowaters

Over two years later, I checked what 'Bowaters' actually is and found it was an old paper mill. It didn't look like that to me on 24th February 2024, when I entered what seemed like a huge industrial…

Tales of the Urban Explorer: The Gas Station

An abandoned 'Gas Station', or as we say here 'Petrol Station' is usually less than exciting. My stint in the USA has worn holes in me and my diction at times. For this one... parking was the biggest…
