Ambergate wireworks, pretty boring TBH
Ambergate mansion, abandoned very dangerous and too many spiders for my liking
Willington power station, pretty empty now, and very nearly got caught by security.



Been to these locations but not in an urbex sense, just out and about. I stumbled across the mansion when I was 15 with my brother one evening when walking the dog in ambergate woods, we got lost just as it got dark and luckily found a dirt track/path which led to a spooky as hell house we quickly walked passed that to the bridge to the wire works and climbed the fence/gate, found the security guard and got him to let us out on to the main road.

I actually went around that place when it was running, my dad used to work there. The place is a wreck now but it's sort of interesting to me knowing how it used to be & what's left etc

I used to live about 10 mins away, now I live about 10 mins from their place in Doncaster

Found a link - http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=5900

That was the lab that my dad used to work in!

Booooo! Wouldn't have minded a look around. I'd imagine there's not much left anyway

That place is almost on your doorstep isn't it? I used to live in Ripley, not too far from you

Went down a tunnel near my house that i had always wondered where it went, was amazing there were underground steps with water running down it and everything, nasty black spiders hanging in webs all over though, had to carry a stick to bash them away, got a few pics and finally found out where it led to, took me about 2 hours and my back and legs were killing after!
