No beats. All these now defunct nuclear sites, give me some hope for peace on Earth; but a chill down my spine at the deviousness of those who held their finger poised on the big button.

i've just spent a good hour (or two) trawling through this: www.simoncornwell.com/urbex/

Cracking Web site. I'm making plans already. I live a pleasant Cycle ride from Cane Hill. So might try and get over there next weekend, if my old velocipede is back from the repair shop in time. I lived not far from Rainhill Mental Hospital (near Liverpool), as a child and Cane Hill has the same look about it. Rainhill was Brittan’s largest (in size) secure mental hospital pre World War 2. After to Broadmoor, it held a Brittan’s large number of those society couldn’t be bothered to help. Alas Rainhill has been knocked down now during the 1980's, and re-developed into -vill.

I hope you do. and if you do, i demand that you share the photos with us here. I'd like to repost the urbex stuff here, but i won't do it without permission. I've pleaded with mr simon cornwell to share his urban explorations with us here on citynoise, cause i think they're simply fascinating, but as yet no reply. I can only assume he's busy exploring or has fallen down some kind of shaft. I live near the Rauceby Mental Asylum mentioned on www.simoncornwell.com/urbex/ but it seems it's been bought and redeveloped now.

Urban exploration is my new dream hobby

Forever Hollywood


One of the things that's fun about California is juxtapositions. On the tour of the stars' homes, I learned that Mick Jagger used to live across from Elvis Presley and, given another year or two, Sly Stallone and Ella Fitzgerald...
