Might give it a go if I have to give up work, although I would rather be doing in my old haunts in Bath, but I expect Northampton has it's mysteries like any other major city. Got links or info about urban exploring or is down to you to find out things? anyway good luck on your endeavours
 
I've always fancied it, too.
 
As above, some old factories etc are better works of art than most 'diarrhoea on canvas' pieces in galleries. Just looking at some of the industrial photos and can see the electrics are done to a really lovely standard, behind the graffiti and plants of course....
 
Been searching around the web and one place I would love to try is Battersea power station. Looking at some pics the 2 control rooms look amazing.
 
I have done a bit in my youth, was not into photography though so have no records of it. It wasn't called urbex then, just "breaking into old places" Skateboarding round an abandoned hospital was fun :D

It's usually still called 'breaking into places' if the police catch you. I did some locally a few years ago before it became fashionable. We went in small groups and explored a disused prison and an old railway workshop amongst a few other places. It would probably be a hell of a lot easier now with the easy availability of cordless grinders ;) We were all regular climbers so we broke in the difficult way.
 
lol I know what it is, I did it around 20 years ago. Old mental hospital on the outskirts of brum & one not to far from me. Both redelveoped now. I was reading the works of a photographer who take pics of old abandoned industrial work sites around europe not long back, and thought it looked fun. Did u see the prog on ch 5 the other night about underground wonders of uk? There's a old bunker under birmingham City I would like to have a look at.
