TAKE NOTHING BUT PHOTOS LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTS

It all started with Hospitals and peeling paint, then came tall buildings, industry and rust. Then came the mines. Where to next?

I can’t say I ever planned it this way, I was sucked in, you could say. The need for decay and the thirst for the adrenaline rush remains, but is quenched with the hardcore pursuits of mines, hospitals, underground tunnels and industrial infrastructure.

This is where I will give you an insight into the world of urban exploration or urbex as is commonly known. I frequentley travel with other explorers in search of derelict, forgotten and abandoned hospitals, mines, factories, asylums, workshops and many other locations.


The philosophy is simple "Take nothing but photos, Leave nothing but footprints"

Regret nothing but the things you chose not to do. Push your boundaries

Farleigh Down Sidings

Monkton Farleigh ammunition depot utilised an old stone quarry below a plateau some 450 feet above the valley floor in which ran the main line railway that was its principal source of supply. Before the depot could be commissioned, an efficient means was need to bring in ammunition from the railway at Farleigh Down Sidings. The sidings were just over a mile from the depot as the crow flies but more than four miles by road along steep and tortuous country lanes.
In November 1937 the Great Western Railway were contracted to lay the sidings and build a 1000 foot long raised loading platform complete with a narrow gauge track to carry the ammunition wagons. Outline plans had already been prepared to drive a mile long tunnel from the heart of the workings terminating in an underground sorting yard built beneath the sidings in the valley below.
