Legs and Borders

It was small but quite pleasant explore, one evening during my holiday in Poland, me and three mates from sesyjni mordercy crew - Lu, r2s and   Moc   went to visit this very close to our city location. You could still smell rum-like rosin aroma inside the buildings, which was quite nice. Opened in 1931 Distilery used to export turpentine, rosin and ingredients for the manufacture of paints to 50 different countries. Got privatised in the mid 90's which started its slow downfall and closure.

Thanks to Keïteï and Subversive Photography i had one of the best weekends in my life. Urban Exploration trip we took turned out to be a 4 x success , we had no problems with security or getting into the objects whatsoever. We have done following locations: all sites visited with:  Keïteï, Sx-riffraff and  Subversive. ECVB Power Plant The roots of the power station ECVB goes back to 1913. The power station was the basis of industrialisation for the channelzone for the channel from Ghent to Terneuzen. The power plant ceased operation, in the end of the '90. Les Soeurs De Dieu Monastery The chapel was build in 1910 and designed by architect Billmeyer. In 1999 the city decided the chapel could be demolished, the ground was given to the catholic school next to the monastery. Château De Noisy (Miranda) During the French Revolution, the family of the Count of Liedekerke-Beaufort left the feudal castle Château de Veves and lived ...

It's just one of those places... Built in 1870 for the Spurrel family, who had farming connections in Suffolk going back over 500 years, the house originally had 52-acres but this has been reduced to a more manageable five. The house remained in the Spurrell familly until the last member died in 1952. It has been abandoned ever since.

Severalls was for me exploring in the correct sense of that word.  To make the boring bit short i only had a rough idea about how to get in as decided to go there in last minute and didn't have much time to contact anyone [recived the info afterwards though, lol] so the improvisation level was very high... To say the least i had to jump over (way to) many fences and eventually had a meet up with the razor wire,  unfortunately it was on the way in, but decided to stay since i had a long journey to get there.. Approached the hospital from the northern side and had a good walk around there (first pic.) then discovered that it is not where i should be, so made my way to the correct part of it, security was doing their rounds, so it took me a while to finally get inside, after that everything went quite smooth (apart of facing another lot of fences on the way out) Severalls was a psychiatric hospital built in 1910 which first opened in May 1913 and housed some 2000 pa...

Crazy explore, it was supposed to be done by 4 and ended up in a group of 10 people :) Site i secured very well, with car driving around all the time - we had a nice little chase on the way out.. The National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE Pyestock) in Fleet, part of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), UK was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine development team run by Hayne Constant. NGTE spent most of its lifetime as a major testing and development center, both for experimental developments as well as supporting the major commercial engine companies. For over 50 years  Pyestock was at the forefront of gas turbine development and was almost certainly the largest site of its kind in the world. V Bomber, Harrier and Tornado engines were all rigorously tested on site, the power of the air house allowed Concorde's engines to be t...
