N1gel 1970

aka UK Urban Exploration Forums

looks like its shut down for good

it became infamous after someone entered the old Longbridge Factory and posted up photos on the forum and the then owners got the hump and threatened all sorts of legal action

pity, brilliant site

Tam the bam

yeah, visited now and again. loved seeing all the derelict sites. A shame its gone, but then maybe its better to have all these places that are only known to a few.....

site is up, just slow

Forum is up but with the following message....!!

The end of an era, or the beginning of a new one? For now the forums are closed. They might return, they might not. It all depends whether I feel like it in the future. But by then no doubt time will have passed us by, and you'll find somewhere else. Most of you have a second home anyway. Why? Forums are wrecking UE. Too much politics, abuse, opinions and bull****. Sod that. It was supposed to be a friendly thing and it's clearly not. I'll keep on exploring. Most people I know will. But the great places I go will just be for my eyes only and that's probably the best way. No hordes of people following, no danger of places getting locked down. So, in the last couple of years, I hope we've opened your eyes to the unseen. Some of you have been converted, some of you hate us. Regardless, we've had an impact and I hope you'll remember us. For anyone that cares to get in touch, my email is anchorspreadable@gmail.com

Take care and farewell.

Be a real shame if it does go, spent many a fascinating hour on the site. One of the best sites on the web IMHO.

ScoobyWon't

I remember reading about the exploration of the Odean cinema in Nottingham on that site. Made interesting reading.

Ive had a quick look round that site, and it seems pretty cool
Is it kinda go somewhere you shouldn't go (ie a big tower type structure), take some cool pics and post em up, and scarper before being caught kinda thing

If so, i might be able to sort some of the building i work in

Snazy

lol or not get away before the police get there in some cases, and get arrested under the prevention of terrorism act lol

OMG... 28DL shutting down!? That's a real shame.. it's one of the better sites on the net, I've spent hours on that site.. in some cases looking at old places where I used to work or spent time at (and no that's not the asylums).

Jamie

riddler

Snazy

No idea tbh
I know him from elsewhere under a different name, and only know of his activities
Names taken from him MSN name and its definatly Ridds on there, so maybe thats another name he uses and not the same person your thinking of ?

Petem95

I've been on there on a regular basis for the last couple of years at least, so sad to hear it's closed

One of the most interesting websites about.

j4ckos mate

I`ve been on there for a while now, done various "explores", It`s an awesome site and it will be a shame if it does dissappear, but I can understand the reasons behind it.
Shall still keep exploring and taking the pics, its quite an adrenelin buzz!

gtijames

shame that good site,some of the pictures of that abandoned nut house were creepy.thelongbridge pictures and millenium dome pictures also stick in the memory.

We were doing this before the web appeared, scrap yards, old houses and with the added excitement of being bladdered and usually needing a poo in your case
