Urbex St.

09/05/2026

Was in the area so thought we would check how the work was going on one of the grand OGs of urbex. Last went 6 years ago when I fell through a floor. Then the renovation news, instagram page, all the contact to urbexers from the new owners..... I expected it to be finished, or at least close...... It looks exact the same as when I last went!

We did the same for Strawbridge House, another OG, a year or so back.... Now full of life, love and attention from great owners..... So was really shocked at this poor place.

This game is getting absolutely stupid. There's a hotel near us (the Redc****e) which closed last month for multi-million renovations. It was all online, Devon Live, Torbay Weekly, all them clickbait sites (even posted about it in here), and is due to open in 6 months after the work is done. Now it looks like it's getting TikTok famous as "explorers" have been in to video it and act like it's some derelict, abandoned shell?!

It's getting absolutely stupid now. Is Urbex actually now just 'get into a closed building as soon as it shuts for a bit'??? In that case, any business that close on Sundays, are they an urbex target on Sundays too?

As I've said in the past, my gold tip; go the day before it closes down; take a load of pics: wait a few days for to officially close; post pics; well done, you're famous as the first that got in.

There's an empty Lidl here too. Apparently that's an urbex target too. A huge, empty, shell, that used to be a LIDL. A f*cking LIDL.

If it carries on this direction, it's f*cked. As actual REAL security/workmen who find you on their site where their expensive tools are, aren't gonna be as soft as the mercenary security companies protecting some old knackered shell, where every they don't really care about, they are just doing a job.

Anyone that does this, or associates with people that would do this, do us a favour. Post below why you do this or promote this. What story are you trying to tell with the videos? I'm coming across as a right grumpy c**t, but I'd genuinely love to be educated.

We know it was in a mess the past few years. But no historic building deserves this.

Salcombe Castle, also known as Fort Charles, was the last Royalist stronghold to fall in the South West during the English Civil War. Surrendering to Parliamentarian forces on May 7, 1646, after a long siege, it earnt it's nickname as the "last outpost to resist". Built by Henry VIII for coastal defense, it was strengthened and renamed Fort Charles for its valiant, albeit ultimately doomed, resistance led by Sir Edmund Fortescue, finally yielding only after all other Royalist positions were lost.

Originally built on the side of a cliff face, erosion has played it's part and now, at high tide, the castle is alone in the rugged waters of the English Channel.
