📍Dalton Grange

Dalton Grange stands on or near the site of a house which, in 1854, was called View Cottage and which, in the early 19th Century must indeed have had a splendid view northeast over the lush water-meadows of the Colne to the wooded hillside of the Fartown and Sheepridge areas.
Dalton Grange was built on the site in 1870 by Henry Brook of J.H. Brook & Sons of Bradley Mills.
In 1916 it was bought by British Dyes for conversion into a recreation club for their employees, Changing lifestyles meant the social club became redundant and in recent years Dalton Grange became a wedding venue until this too was shut down in 2017.

Wow! This place was definatly my kind of explore! So much detail! Absolutley loved being in there. Unfortunately my visit was cut short by the funniest police officers ever! I have missed out on so much in this place, so here are the photos I have managed to take.

Enjoy the photos 🏚👍🏻

See you there 😉

📍All Hallows Church

This little roadside church is the thirteenth-century chancel of a larger church which was a ruin until 1889, when the chancel was gently restored and a west porch added. The church costs £644 a year to maintain.

🏚🏚

Here I am again.. another church. Even though I'm not a big fan of those I was passing on the way to another place, so thought let's check it out. It still amazes me that these churches are open 24/7 and you can visit those any time of the day and night! Nice little stop off, enjoyed it.

Enjoy the photos 😌👍🏻

14/12/2022

So, morning everyone! I am out and about tomorrow throughout the day, getting myself out of my comfort zone 😬 So hopefully I'll be able to stream LIVE for you all ✌🏻

Happy Wednesday 🏚

📍Milton Lodge

After spending quite some time trying to find anything about this place, I must say I massively failed. All the tricks I've pulled and nothing. Which is really disappointing. There was one thing I came across stating that this place used to be used for boat business, anything to do with building or repairing boats, but I wasn't too convinced.

One part of the building has suffered bad fire which left it with pretty bad damages. Although the rest of the building is well... pretty good shape.

Nice steady morning wander..

📍St Peter's Church, Low Toynton

The parish church was dedicated to Saint Peter and is a Grade II listed building and a scheduled monument. It was rebuilt of greenstone in 1811, reusing 12th-century fragments of the previous church. It was longer used as a church after 1959 and has been sold into private ownership in the 1970s. It is only a small church that seated 60.

🏚🏚

Usually I am not a big fan of churches and graveyards. But this church had something that caught my eye and attracted me to visit. It was the beauty of its decay, I was so intrigued by it. Unfortunately I couldn't access the church, only managed to squeeze arm through and take a photo of what the inside looks like. The roof is collapsing, gravestones are so overgrown you can barely see them.
I have spoken to a local lady that told me the church is on a private land however the owner wouldn't mind me having a snoop around.

Enjoy the photos 🏚👍🏻

📍Crooked House

Now have you seen anything like this before? I know I haven't! This was a random find as was on the way to another place. Had to stop and have a nosey because this is something spectacular!

Let me tell you, I was afraid to breathe close to this barely standing house! I mean!

I am in the middle of finding out more about this house, as there was a note on the caravan window with architectural design, so me being me I got in touch with the person and currently awaiting response. I am so intrigued with this place, I want to know more!

Enjoy the unusual photos 🏚📸👍🏻

📍Hunters Lodge

This place was on my to do list by the end of this year! I was absolutley dying to visit this lodge. Not many people know where it is as its hidden away which is a bonus!

As soon as you walk into the lodge the Beauty of it just hits you. It's one of the places where I didn't actually want to leave! The scenery around it and wildlife just makes it a perfect place.

I hope you enjoy the photos, it's one of my favourite places I have visited!

Enjoy 🏚📸👍🏻

📍The Hare&Hounds

Couldn't find anything useful about this place,but I am assuming it's just like the rest of the pubs. The way in was very sketchy and could of ended up badly if my foot was to slip! However I have managed to explore yet another pub and leave without being injured.
You can watch a full live explore I did here👇🏼

📍Raf Coleby Grange

Opened in 1939 and operated as a fighter and night fighter airfield during the Second World War, occupied at various times by UK, US, Canadian and Polish fighter squadrons, the station briefly switched to a training role post-war before being placed on a care and maintenance basis.

Reopened in 1959 as an RAF Bomber Command Intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) launch facility and placed on a high DEFCON 2 launch alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the station was finally closed and decommissioned in 1963. The site has been returned to agricultural use and now has little evidence of its former use, other than several lengths of perimeter track and the original air traffic control tower.

🏚🇵🇱🏚🇵🇱

This explore was totally random, was driving past it on the way to a different place. However it would have been rude not to stop and take some photos.
It was my 3rd or 4th visit to this place. Other visits were for a different purpose, but this time I had a chance to actually take photos and have a wander. I do love visiting places that hold any sort of Polish history behind them. As a Polish girl myself I do hope to visit many more in the near future! For now enjoy the photos.

📍Knights Templar Church, Lincolnshire

This rare 13th-century tower once bore witness to one of England’s richest Knights Templar preceptories, second only to The Temple in London. One of a pair, this sole surviving three-story southeast tower once flanked the chancel of a round church. Today, Temple Bruer it is one of very few Knights Templar preceptories still standing in Great Britain.

The Knights Templar were a religious military order established at the time of the Crusades in the late Middle Ages. Their role was to protect pilgrims and the shrines of the Holy Land. As their popularity grew, they quickly went from rags to riches. Powerful and wealthy, they were able to finance their work through a Europe-wide network of preceptories, of which Temple Bruer was one.

The Knights Templar remained rich and successful for almost 200 years, but after the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land fell, their popularity declined, and they were accused of misconduct and corruption. In 1308, the Grand Prior of England was arrested and imprisoned at Temple Bruer in Lincoln. The order was suppressed not long after, and the Knights Hospitaller took its place. The Dissolution of the Monasteries around 1540 saw Temple Bruer granted to the Duke of Suffolk by King Henry VIII, who stayed there with his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, on the way to Lincoln. Over time, the church gradually became a ruin with only the southeast tower remaining, which can still be seen today.

🏚🏚🏚

I do like to visit places as such from time to time. They hold loads of great history. It was nice and chilled explore, however the staircase made me dizzy, and it some parts it wasn't really safe. Overall nice little gem.

📍St Andrews Dock, Hull

St. Andrew's Dock was originally designed for the coal trade but by the time it opened in 1883
it was earmarked solely for the use of the fishing industry which, with the development of
steam powered trawlers and of the railway network, was undergoing a period of rapid
expansion. The dock extension was opened in 1897. By the 1930s road transport was
challenging rail and the last fish train ran in 1965. The last boom period in the industry was in
the early 1970s, but by this time the fish market buildings on the north side of the dock were
in need of repair. With the expansion of the freezer trawler fleet it was decided to move the
fish docks to new buildings at Albert Dock in 1975 and St. Andrew's Dock was closed. This
move unfortunately coincided with the declaration by Iceland of a 200 mile limit, the outbreak
of the last Cod War, and a decline in the industry from which it has never recovered.
During the 1980s several factors led to changes in the use of land in the St. Andrews Dock
and Dock extension areas, such as containerisation and the concentration of port activities in
King George and Queen Elizabeth Docks to the east, the construction of Clive Sullivan Way
as the major road into the city from the west and the sudden prominence that this gave to the
western docks area, and the trend with increased car ownership towards out of town
shopping and leisure uses previously concentrated in the City Centre. Filling of the dock itself
began in the late 1980s.
The small dock-related industries located mainly on the south side of the dock either followed
the fishing industry to Albert Dock or closed altogether, although a small nucleus of industries
remained for some time at the eastern end of the dock, associated mainly with the ship-repair
activities still taking place in William Wright Dock. As buildings become vacant they were
quickly vandalised, tendering to encourage the remaining firms to move out.
As outlined above, the history of St. Andrew's Dock is very closely associated with the history
of the deep-sea trawling industry, and as the dock itself began to disappear through the
development of the site for retail and leisure uses, many Hull people felt that a part of their
history was also disappearing, a history with which many of them had close family ties. A
strong campaign was therefore launched to save something of the dock and its surroundings,
both to explain to future generations what the industry was about and to preserve the memory
of the many people who had sacrificed their lives to it.
In December 1990 the area in the vicinity of the lockpit was designated a Conservation Area.
This was considered to be the part of the dock area which had retained the strongest links
with the previous uses and where there was the best opportunity to preserve what remained
of the buildings and features of interest.

📍The Bungalow

Yep..another day, yet another bungalow.
Unfortunately I could not find anything about this place..

From the outside it looks tiny, but once I stepped inside it was actually a decent size! Very damaged though. Had to becareful in one of the rooms as the floor seemed like it was going to collapse underneath my feet. Luckily it didn't.

Nice little explore.

Enjoy the photos 📸🏚👍🏻

Let me make one thing clear! Since I am getting battered all day today for my previous post.

I DO NOT break into premises, neither do I break entry! The places I have visited so far are easy straight in access!

Yes it's trespass, trespass is a civil matter!

I do not cause any damage to any places I visit, neither do I take any belongings. All I do is take photos, so I can research history if I can and show you guys what is left behind!

I DO NOT post personal photos of previous owners that lived at the property either!

I hardly stream LIVE purely because I DO NOT want to show anything I'm not supposed to! So I am very picky with the places I do decide to stream at!

So please, DO NOT call me thick, DO NOT tell me I break into premises! And certainly DO NOT tell me to remove any of my posts!

Any places that are sealed tight and have no entry, I simply walk away!

Peace 😮‍💨✌🏻

📍Crossways Farm bungalow

Unfortunately couldn't find any history of this place, which is a shame. Nice little place with few bits and bobs left behind.

Although very easy access, on the way out I haven't noticed a piece of glass which ended up leaving me with cuts on my hand 🤦‍♀️ gotta be more careful next time!

Massive shout out to Abandoned UK for letting me know about this one!

Enjoy the photos 📸👍🏻

📍The round house

Not much information on this stunner, from what i could gather it stands empty for more than 10 years. It was listed on April 1980 and described as a 19th century lodge in red brick with a conical thatched roof.

The place is sealed tight, however I've spotted a small broken window and only managed to get my arm through to snap a few shots of what the inside looks like! I suppose being the size of a borrower didn't help with this one, as there was no way of me squizing through that! I felt the pain indeed. Oh well! I shall keep my eye on this one.

Enjoy the photos and onto the next 📸🕵🏻‍♀️

📍Lord Line, Hull (part 1)

The Lord Line building opened in 1949 and was at the heart of Hull’s fishing industry. Sadly up to the 1980’s, 6000 fishermen lost their lives at the hands of the sea.

The Lord Line building began winding down in 1975 when the dock closed and became completely derelict in 1990. Several fires have damaged parts of the building since 2010.

Hull City Council have rejected an application from the site owner to demolish one of the last relics of Hull's maritime heritage to make way for housing.
The plans were considered unsuitable after developers Manor Mill Resort Ltd argued that the derelict building could not be saved and was in a dangerous condition. Yet the council was not convinced that the old offices are beyond repair.

The proposals were for 40 flats and a restaurant, with a listed hydraulic tower and pump house that once powered the whole dock being converted to heat the development.
The latter part of the development was granted permission but is unlikely to go ahead as it is not viable without buildings nearby.

Although the Lord Line offices are not listed, they are on Hull City Council's own register of historically significant buildings.

As I call it, the graffiti city! ✌🏻 What a place! My kind of explore for sure! An overdue revisit to this one after long 2 years or so! Stunner!

📍The Cross Keys Inn

Another day, another pub.
Not much info on this place tbh other than closing due to lack of customers, the property is now sold.

Not much to see inside either, however access was way too easy for me not to have a wander!

Onto the next 👍🏻

Enjoy the photos ✌🏻🏚📸

📍Abandoned Pub (No name given)

Due to this place being in absolut perfect condition, I decided not to name it. Its not very often you visit pubs which are in an amazing condition and not trashed! The pub has closed in 2016 and from the reviews it seemed to be a popular place. From what I could gather it closed due to owners moving away (but I'm not 100% on that one) and it seems that there are plans for it to be converted into residential.

There wasn't much info on this place tbh. But how often do you explore a place as such where even the carpets were squeaky clean 😳.

Enjoy the photos 📸✌🏻👍🏻

📍Ollerton Hall

Grade 2 listed Ollerton Hall dates back to 1700. It was once home to the Markham family.
Thomas Markham settled at Ollerton in the latter part of the 16th century and his family is credited with the original hall, having connections to Queen Elizabeth I.

The catholic family lived in what was a protestant area and in recent years what is believed to be a secret chapel was found in the attic.

It is probable the family mansion was wholly or in part rebuilt early in the 18th-century.
The building was also owned by the National Coal Board in the 20th-century to house workers from nearby pits and their families.

The historic building has been abandoned for more than 50 years and could potentially be converted into apartments.

🏚🏚🏚

Can you remember the place I was itching to go to and went last Thursday? 😁 This is the place. I took my chance after keeping my eye on it for over 2 years! Last time my foot stepped into this bad boy was 3 years ago! Absolutely stunning building!
Really enjoyed my alone wander around it, was good to be baaaaack!

Enjoy the photos 🙋🏼‍♀️💪🏻

📍Stone Cottage/Retail Shop

A beautiful 5 bedroom cottage which is connected to a retail shop. The property has been sold on auction for £129.500 however there's no sign of any work even starting at this place. Absolutely stunning place that can be redeveloped into a large home.

Another cheeky tick off the list, and I was really surprised of how large this place was once inside.
Steady alone wander around 🏚

Enjoy the photos 😉

11/11/2022

I've had that Friday feeling and went off for another alone cheeky wander! Photos to follow later on today 🙋🏼‍♀️🙌🏻

📍J W H Weatherby & Sons Falcon Works

The Falconworks at Hanley was owned by John Henry Weatherby From 1891.
From what we can find online the works already existed when J H Weatherby moved to the site but has been expanded and modified at various times since.
In 1892 the works had 4 kilns and one in the process of being built, by 1900 there were 8 kilns and in 1906 a large entrance range was built to the works with 3 stories and 23 bays. From 1925 to 1961 there were 5 bottle kilns, these were replaced by electric kilns following the Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968.

Weatherby first made domestic ware such as basins and ewers, later moving into tableware and giftware.

In April 2000 the company chairman, Christopher Weatherby, the great-great grandson of company founder John Henry Weatherby, announced the winding up of the company.
At its height the company employed 200, but the figure was down to 50 in 1999 and stood at 10 at the time of closure.
The works is grade 2 listed.

🏚🏚🏚

I absolutely loved this explore! I'm absolutely obsessed with exploring factories, so this place was an absolute paradise to me! In some parts this place was an absolute death trap, however well worth having a look around. Plenty to see. Glad to finally tick this one of the list ✌🏻

Enjoy the photos 👍🏻🏚
