Urban Exploration 2015 – Abandoned Communist headquarters, Villas, Hospitals, Mad Houses and more…

A little montage of footage from my 2015 explores. Another year with several trips abroad visiting all sort of different locations, I’m only half way through the editing of the but some of the photos can be found here: www.urbex.wtf Thanks to everyone who visited these places with me during these trips making them as enjoyable as they were.

The Buzludzha Monument aka The House of the Bulgarian Communist Party

Full report and load of photos from the visit on my website: www.urbex.wtf

The Buzludzha Monument aka The House of the Bulgarian Communist Party is a huge concrete circular structure that many say resembles an abandoned UFO. It sits derelict on top of the Buzludzha mountain slowly crumbling away as it deals with lack of maintenance and fierce winter conditions.

The Monument opened in 1981 after being built at a cost of 14 186 000 leva (around 7 000 000 €) but after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 only 8 years later the Communist Headquarters closed and began to fall into disrepair. The master builder was General Delcho Delchev who was in charge of the Stara Zagora civil engineering section. The lead architect of the project was Guéorguy Stoilov. Several famous painters and sculptors also contributed to the intricate decoration.

Above the door in bold red paint is the harrowing message: ‘Never forget your past’ while alongside it is the more satirical: ‘Enjoy Communism’, in the style of the Coca-Cola logo clearly added by graffiti artists post closure.

The building still holds a lot of significance to the communist party within Bulgaria and each year on the first Sunday in August around 30-40,000 people gather there as part of a socialist party meeting.

The first draft of the 2014 best of video which I lost the project files to due to a hard drive crash… uploaded as I didnt want to waste it and changed the final one a fair bit… Just a little teaser of what I’ve been up to in 2014. Various clips from footage shot throughout 2014 at different locations. I’ve had a great year exploring this year, met lots of new people and had some awesome fun exploring with friends both old and new! Thanks to all those involved in making this video!

Urbex: Ford Transit Van Factory Southampton

The now abandoned Ford Transit Van Factory near Southampton has some real history to it. The Factory was initially built as a shadow factory in 1939 near to Southampton Airport and was originally used to produce aircraft parts. In particular the factory, during World War II made components for the Supermarine Spitfire and later was used to assemble the aircraft. As a result it was bombed on several occasions by the Nazi Luftwaffe.

After the war, in 1947 the factory was purchased by Briggs Motor Bodies who supplied bodies for Ford Motor Vehicles in the UK. The firm was later bought out by Ford in 1953 who then gained control of the 60,000m2 factory. Production then concentrated upon manufacturing truck bodies to be assembled elsewhere.

1965 the first Transit Van bodies produced in Britain were built at the site and shipped to Langley, Berkshire to be added to the chassis. The Factory saw a huge £5,000,000 investment in 1972 which gave the site the ability to produce the whole Transit Van at the site and at its peak the Factory had 4,500 works employed.

Urbex: The CDC Chambre du Commerce Belgium

The CDC is a huge stock exchange complex left abandoned somewhere in Belgium. I understand plans are to convert the magnificent building into some hotel, rumour has it ownership has changed hands twice with 2 hotel firms, the recent being within the last few month. The parquet flooring from the centre has been broken up and stacked onto pallets ready for removal and there were some signs of other minor contractor works.

Visited with the 3 men and a little lady tour crew Dystopia, Baron Scotland and Lowri and what a way to kick off the second day and first morning on Belgian soil! This is probably Barons favourite place so one which was not to be missed on the tour, after this being my first visit after having the place on my to do list for quite some time, I can fully appreciate why Baron likes this place so much! We entered under cover of darkness and hid in the basement until dawn when the light was just starting to make its way into the skylights of the main trading floor as we came up the basement staircase!

We spent a good few hours inside and met a couple of local Belgian explorers as the morning went on! It was sad to say goodbye to this place so large there were plenty of rooms I still didn’t manage to cover with the camera which I only saw as I ran around trying to find Dystopia so we could make our exit ;). Revisit on the cards hopefully if renovation works don’t progress too quickly!

Castle Miranda aka Château Noisy – Urban Exploration 2014

Footage from my revisit to Castle Miranda in the summer of 2014. After my original trip here in 2012 I couldnt wait to go back, this time I had the gopro head mounted which made filming the joist walk to the twin baths and the rooftop climb a little easier. I hope you enjoy the footage…

Prison H15 Urban Exploration

Take a short tour around the abandoned Prison H15. Filmed on my second visit to this awesome huge site all filmed with the GoPro Hero 3.

George Barnsley & Sons Cornish Works Sheffield

A little bit of GoPro footage from our explore around George Barnsley and Sons Cornish Works in Sheffield.

Urbex: Sheffield Crown Court… The Bang…

During our exploration of the crown courts in Sheffield this happened… There were 3 other members of our group who were all downstairs in the cell blocks so we have no doubt that it was none of them who made the noise. We continued to explore for a good hour or so after this and came across no-one. The noise stopped shortly after the video. To this date we have no idea who or what made the noise but you can clearly hear 2 loud bangs followed by some running / footsteps.

A little run around at the National Gas Turbine Establishment Pyestock

A bit of GoPro footage from 2 visits to Pyestock in 2013. Both visits were a right laugh thanks The Mule for coming on both trips, to Mr Bones for showing us around the first time and Si for tagging along on the return visit. Nice bumping into some friends Chris, Chris, Laura and Darbian.
