Links

These are a bunch of links to other websites. A lot of them are similarly low-intensity sites.

The Othvrs

An open 360/ VR/ XR collaborative group based in Bristol. Manifesto: to encourage a broader and inclusive spectrum of individuals within VR by democratising access to materials, funding and resources; particularly focused on women, POC, LGBTQ+ and other ‘othered’ and excluded groups.

Low Tech Magazine

Dangerous Laboratories

A charmingly vintage-styled website about enthusiast hobbies such as uranium hunting, bio-diesel, lasers, and more. Fascinating local history articles on uranium in Cornwall.

Abandoned Communities

A website detailing the locations and histories of various abandoned communities across the UK. Mostly focused on villages but also features castles, city districts, and other places. Many sites have little physical remains any more, or are otherwise inaccessible.

Abandoned Britain

A website more focused on urban exploration of abandoned UK sites that are still present in some form. More picture-focused. No updates since 2014. Fun fact: one of the places documented on this site is Hellingly Hospital. I grew up near here - breaking in there as a teenager is what got me interested in urbex stuff.
