Now that's a common style of sensational title often used by the goontubers, pseudo explorers and day tippers, that now alas populate the urbex community.
To enhance the defences of Manchester and Merseyside during WW2, an RAF camp was built just outside Nantwich in Cheshire.
By the time it was completed, there was no longer any need for an active airfield and so became a training base, It was finally decommissioned in 1960.
Most of the land is now part of an industrial estate, what remains is standing on farm land.
Cows a plenty roaming free.....
.....and one dead one (see I didn't lie, just massaged the truth)!!!
C'mon
LET'S MOOCH
most of the buildings were just shells
Front door locked, back door open: Empty, next.
Giving up on the red brick buildings it was time to climb the fence and see what was the other side, the sheds looked more substantial
Time worn stencil just about readable
Nature slowly but surely claiming the buildings
Inside nothing to get the juices flowing, just a dumping ground for carpet (there was a lot of carpet)and tyres (there were lots of tyres too).
What seemed to be a reinforced shelter
Also a dumping ground, stuffed full of what? asbestos? Looks like it has been here awhile, hidden away from prying eyes. Asbestos removal and disposal costs an absolute fortune. needless to say I didn't go climbing in.
Hmmm! I wonder?
Well with an offer like that, who am I to refuse?
Auto trader, a place to sell your dodgy clapped out old banger to some unsuspecting fool. Cheaper than those advertised on TV by Pippy Schofield and his mate the thunderbirds puppet lookalike.
Good to see the boss kept himself busy
Standing on carpet mountain surveying all before me I spied an open door, what could possibly go wrong?
Just wondering if I have stumbled upon the meeting den of the local BNP/EDL party. Knuckle dragging morons.
One never knows what one will find in places like these, from the sublime to the weird....
......to the surreal
The wonderful world of URBEX.

I worked at a Tyre fitting place for a short time (before I destroyed a customers alloys with the tyre press).. ahem. The boss there had an office similarly laden with scantily clad ladies..., this would be outrageous now. 70's I would say.
not sure about date, loaded, probably 80's?
you are a man of hidden talents shelf stacker and alloy destroyer
Various 'treasures' to be found there. Poor cow though. I guess there's always some chance of a dead person in places where the desperate seek shelter.
Stay well.

yes i guess there is always the chance of finding human remains @steevc as yet I haven't ticked that off my "found whilst mooching list"
I expect there are a few stories in the urbex community. Just stay safe yourself.
