My Story:

Ever since I was young, I’ve been drawn to the mystery of abandoned places. From old hospitals to forgotten schools, I love uncovering the forgotten stories behind these buildings. Growing up in Waterlooville, Hampshire, and now based in Portsmouth, I’ve spent years documenting my explorations through photography and sharing them with fellow enthusiasts.

Through my photos and articles, I aim to bring attention to the fascinating history that lies within these abandoned spaces, while promoting safe and responsible exploration practices. This site is for those who are curious about the history and architecture of these forgotten spots.

Fun Facts

• When I’m not out exploring, I’m either listening to atmospheric music by bands like Duster and Decalius, or working on locks. I have a particular interest in high-security locks like the ASSA Flexcore and DOM Sigma Plus.
• I’m also a proud cat owner – my 18-year-old cat, Mitzi, is always by my side when I’m not out exploring.
• I dream of traveling the world, exploring hidden places across different cultures, and expanding my knowledge of urban history.
