Legs and Borders

My first and hopefully not last visit to the Steel City, very positively surprised by it, one day trip turned out to be pretty epic experience, we managed to visit 3 out of 4 planned locations. all locations visited with: Keïteï, Subversive Photography, TrankmasT and Sammydoublewhammy . Firth Vickers Stainless Steels First stop on our trip, quite easy access and good chilled explore, met the best security guard on the way out, who officially allowed and encouraged us to go ahead and explore :) big thumb up. Firth Vickers were a major name in Sheffield's steel empire, and perhaps best known for the invention of Stainless steel in 1912. They branded this 'Staybrite' which gives this works its name. Firth Brown Steels was initially formed in 1902, when Sheffield steelmakers John Brown and Company exchanged shares and came to a working agreement with neighbouring company Thomas Firth & Sons. In 1908 the two companies came together and esta...

We were planning to visit St. Martins Deep Shelter, unfortunately missed the entrance somehow :) so instead did few little tunnels in Dover's Grand Shaft area, wasn't too bad, but revisit is definitely on cards.

It's probably the most clean and tidy site i visited to date :) After 1.5h spent inside i started to miss the good, old decay, lol. Still it was a good day out, with a hint of something else than usual. history: Westbrook House was a Preparatory School based in Folkestone for 2-11 year olds. It was established on the site in Folkestone after the second world war by K.N.G. Foster, and existed in one form or other right up until 2008 when it closed its doors with just 119 pupils on role - it's capacity was 310.

When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die... J. Cash One last building remains,  rest has been knocked down to build the supermarket Biedronka. Still worth a visit though, especially as there are few other interesting objects in the city. history: One of the most notorious prisons in Poland, the first one with increased security, partially converted from the former monastery buildings. In times of deep socialism it had it's own 'death cell' where death penalties has been executed. There's lots of sealed corridors in it's basement, probably used to join the remaining monastery buildings in the city.

Done this in April and it is still one of my favorite explores to date, it wasn't too big or too fancy, but the atmosphere of the place was simply astounding. history: The school occupies what used to be the Lillesden Estate Mansion, built at the estate (south of Hawkhurst) in 1855 by the banker Edward Loyd, who moved there after marrying. The house and estate remained in the family until just after the First World War, when it was then sold and eventually became the Bedgebury Girls Public School. The school closed around 1999 and has been abandoned ever since.
