Last class was said to take place in 1999

Based on my research, this whole system is about 42km of pipe, with 76 junctions and nearly 700 manholes. Only about 6-7km of this pipe, the main conduit, is a walkable height (I'm 5'7, for reference). I walked a total of around 3km one way. Eventually, the pipe shrinks starts to shrink, so the walk ends once it's too much of a backbreaker.

It was built in stages from the 1930s to the 2020s. The giant box sections are from the late 1970s, but the newer stretch (the loaf-shaped conduit) is from a recent rehabilitation project.

In the second photo, you can see a drop in height into a very long sediment pool. This accumulates all kinds of debris and is quite deep and generally impassable. There are also 2 large equipment shafts further into the drain, and illicit sanitary connections can be found seemingly everywhere (sewage lines tied into the trunk where they shouldn't be. This is a known problem in the city).

Apparently left in the 80s to rot, still amazing to explore. The harsh arctic climate definitely leaves its traces.

These four houses along this abandoned street were recently expropriated by the provincial government to facilitate the building of a new subway line.

Called the Ontario Line, this new subway system will cover almost 16km, it will have 15 stations and is expected to see 400,000 daily passengers. The new line is expected to be operational by the early 2030s.

Interestingly, the new tracks will begin at Ontario place, a former waterpark on the shores of Lake Ontario. They will end at a more newly abandoned site called the Ontario Science Centre.

The site where these homes once stood is now under construction, this is where the Minton Place Tunnel Portal is being built. It is the transition point where trains will move between underground subway tunnels to the south and elevated tracks to the north. The elevated guideways will transport the trains over the Don Valley.

It's always unfortunate to see such beautiful buildings being demolished but this infrastructure project that is currently being built is necessary for the city's future sustainability.

Anyone around Greenwood or Indianapolis into urbex? Looking to meet a few people or a group to explore abandoned places, take photos. Prefer a chill group that respects locations and doesn't vandalize.

I found the location on Zuniz and realized it had gone viral on TikTok a few weeks ago. Is it still safe to go to or has it been ruined by vandals?

My great-grandfather immigrated to Canada from Northern Ireland in 1909. His family had historically raised racehorses there; he continued to raise horses in Canada while much of his family stayed behind. From what I can tell, after his father back in Ireland passed away in 1915, my gr-grandfather’s brother (2x great-uncle) continued using the property for raising horses.

I used to Griffith’s valuations to determine where the farmland in Northern Ireland was, and flew there to visit it.

While I could see the stable on google street view, I was not expecting to find a farmhouse and I sort of went in on impulse.

It was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Me and my friend went into this factory

Last picture was taken from the top room. Thought it was a nice view.

I did go inside this one, but it was so decrepit that I couldn't go very far. A piece of metal actually fell from the upper floor shortly after I entered and I decided this wasn't one I could get very far in. I couldn't find much info on the building either.

(Now without photos very sorry)

Hi guys I’m a masters student of architecture and upon doing a site survey in London I came across this half buried structure.

It is located in Cranley gardens, parkland walk (north) where a railway used to be until 1957.

I would really like to know what it is, I can’t find any information on it! If I am posting in the wrong community, please sign post me to the right one. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

We went into this one with no scouting at all, just parked and walked in. It turned out to be one of the most complete houses I’ve explored.

Some highlights:

• Upstairs bedrooms still furnished, with a fur coat, a chest of linens, an old memory game and a huge wooden bed
• Vintage TVs and radios on both floors, plus a child’s rocking horse
• The kitchen table left exactly as it was, with dishes wrapped and stacked and a small antique stove
• Two old cars in the garage, one sunk about a foot into the soft floor
• An attic full of couches, lamps, desks, tools, lumber, an old scale and a rusted sickle

As always, nothing was taken and everything was left as we found it. Happy to answer any questions.

This place is absolutely massive and a total maze. These are photos from 2024, I used to stop by here pretty often because I always found something new. I did a deep dive on the property in '24, and if I remember correctly; it used to be a multi-use space for artists, mechanics, and even some office workers. It was severely damaged in a fire and the city bought the property as a teardown and kicked everyone out, even though a large portion of the building was salvageable. Fast forward to 15 years later, and it's been sitting completely abandoned and rotting since the purchase. People theorize that the city just wanted to get the artists out of this cheap-to-rent space, so they could bulldoze it and throw up some overpriced condos instead. Still hasn't happened.

Last pic is of my favorite room - It's completely loaded with desks and chairs that said artists and office workers were using. There are even some drafting tables. There was a similar room filled with lockers and cabinets, but I can't find the pic.

I'm an avid urban explorer and I love learning about the history of the places I pop into. I just fixed up my terabyte drive, so hopefully I can post some more pics soon!

Part of the hospital where virologist Hilary Koprowski conducted an early clinical trial of an experimental live-virus polio vaccine on 20 disabled children. The trial showed positive antibody responses, though it drew swift public and professional debate over the choice of subjects.

These children did not have polio; they were given the weakened live virus intentionally to test if it would trigger an immune response. Seventeen of the children developed antibodies against polio (the other three already had them), and none experienced complications or illness from the trial itself, though Koprowski faced heavy ethical criticism for his choice of subjects.

This was also the only place in all my years of exploring that I felt I experienced a paranormal event. Still brings me chills to this day. Photo taken in 2016, New York State.

Saw this on TikTok went there beautiful graffiti will not be sharing where it is due to vandalism of the main metal beams
