Anyone there...

If anyone is reading this, (hello?), who has followed me over after I closed my Facebook account, then hello - but I get the impression no one bothers anymore!? I'll write this anyway - maybe traffic will pick up in the coming months (yeah, right!).

Been quiet recently, though took trips (non-Urbex) to Exeter, plus the delights of Swindon(!). Soon, very soon in fact, now that the Spring is here, I will be resuming my Urban Exploration, so if ANYONE does EVER visit this page (viewing figures suggest not), then keep your eyes peeled on both here & my Flickr for forthcoming trips to weird & wonderful places like Manchester, Preston, Sheffield, Londinium, north Devon, Wrexham and, hopefully, Glasgow!! These are just a few of the 2017 targets I've got lined up, plus lots of local stuff across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol, etc.

So, hope to see you soon - please...

All stand together

No, we will not be beaten, we are not afraid, we will never give in to terrorists!

I am planning a trip to London in April, and was to cross Westminster Bridge. Nothing they can do will stop me, I am not afraid!

Thoughts to the deceased.

A trip to Oldham

Popped up to Oldham yesterday for the first time. There are several disused tunnels in the Oldham area, but only had time to try the three. Werneth (SD9191204622) and Central (SD9246304512) tunnels are on the line that shut in 2009 which ran through the south of the town centre. Two of the stations (Werneth and Mumps. Yes, Mumps!) have also been demolished. The tunnels are, naturally, gated!

Then popped out into the sticks east of the town to view the west portal of the long Lydgate tunnel (SD9730304394), which is 1,322-yards long and closed in 1964, pictured below. This too is locked & gated, with the bars greased. Later in the year, I plan to visit the other end and other tunnels in the area, plus the city of Manchester, etc.

More of my Greater Manchester tunnel photos can be found here.

New TV show of interest

I'm not sure if anyone can even see this blog, but I'll plough on regardless!

Starting next Tuesday on the Yesterday TV channel, is a new series about abandoned structures, inc. dams, resorts and entire islands. Coo, sounds fun! Click here for more info.
