Website Overhaul & Update

It has been a long time coming, but we have carried out a massive overhaul of the website. This is something we had been planning for a while, but due to certain circumstances, our hands were forced and we begun a rebuild.  From the initial look, it may look like nothing has changed.  But it …

Best of British!

Now, Best of British is not a magazine we normally read but we made an exception when given a copy by a relative. Imagine our surprise when amongst the pages we found reference to this very website. Seems we have caught someones attention, which is nice! See the article in question below: If your a …

Rolling over into our sixth year!

It is like owning a car that rolls over onto 100,000 miles, you can’t help but watch! This month sees us enter our sixth year as a website and we thought we would write you a post, whilst wearing our rose tinted spectacles, on how it all started and the years in between. Back in …

Whilst we have been away…

You may have noticed that the website has been a little quiet recently and been wondering what we have been up to?  We haven’t quite made it into the papers, although we were asked for our Chernobyl photos, but we have kept ourselves busy and out of trouble.  We have been out and about with …

When the world nearly annihilated itself……

So, you might know TheTimeChamber is interested in all things Cold War. We have read a lot of books and articles on the subject, and been to lots of museums and sites. This story is one that fascinates us the most though. Most people think that the closest we have come to Nuclear armageddon was …

West Park Hospital demo/conversion update

Seems that the conversion and demolition of West Park Hospital is going well. There are a number of new build houses on site with people living in them, and an old villa has been converted into a rather swish house. TheTimeChamber took the opportunity to grab some progress shots today, the builders were not to …

Navigating Box Quarry – sense of direction not included

Box Mine is one of the largest Freestone Quarries in the Bath Area, it covers over 15 miles of under ground tunnels, dead ends, cranes and cross roads.  All of which looks very similar. Very, very similar. It is also a publicly accessible quarry and has a handily located pub right next door. This is unlike …

Something for the Weekend…?

Here at TheTimeChamber we will openly admit that we do not get out an explore as much as we used too, or would like.  Somehow some people seem to be on the move almost constantly, devouring every single derelict structure in the country with their cameras. We are not entirely sure how they do this, …

A new containment structure for Chernobyl?

A pretty good graphic animation of the way that the old, crumbling sarcophagus covering Reactor 4 is going to be renewed and covered with a state of the art ‘shield’ to ensure the containment of the radiation for a long time (hopefully!) has been revealed. It features a complicated ventilation system to maintain the environment …

A Trip to Aldwych Underground Station

London Underground decided to open up Aldwych Station for tourists recently, luckily we got hold of some of the tickets and headed down with some friends and paid it a visit. Very rarely, unless you want to run the rails, does London get to see behind the scenes of the Underground Network.  It would have …

Welcome to TheTimeChamber

TheTimeChamber is a website dedicated to the interest that two brothers share in the social history that surrounds them and the big wide outdoors. At the centre of this site is their interest in the derelict, abandoned, or converted buildings that dot the landscape of the World (it used to limited to just the UK, but then we started earning money and branched out a bit). To accompany the photographs of the visited sites, a historical account has been written for each location. This website aims to bring to life the forgotten memories of the institutes and establishments that the modern world has turned its back on and left to decay.

The website is split down into multiple sections. The Exploration Section contains photographs, a history and any other information on the many abandoned sites that the website has visited. The Photography Section contains a selection of our favourite shots and any tutorials, or blog posts, we have written to help us learn the trade. Finally, a Blog Section contains everything that we haven’t really figured out what to do with. It’s our brain dump of hopefully interesting articles, sometimes a photo we like and other times a pool of ill thought out words.
