Cobland, otherwise known as Derbyshire lol.
After going to Steetley Works (and getting busted :rolleyes: ) set off on a drive to find more places. Just on the northern outskirts of Carlton in Lindrick (on the way to Langold) saw 2 large gate post pillars. mmm, looks interesting I though, so off up the drive i went.

On the right hand side about half way up, there was a smallish type hall, (or maybe a managers house at some point?).

This building was on the corner (in the middle :eek: ) of the site.

the sign on the gate said it was a builders merchant, there was items inside the fence, but the large building looked derelict.

That's an old keyboard, as it doesn't have the keys introduced with Wondows 95.
 
Those workshops kinda look like old military units...any history of a base in or around this area?Very interesting explore anyhow
 
That's an interesting set of buildings there, Sal. Just imagine if you could get inside them all. Quite a day's, or a few day's explore, methinks. :D
Thanks for that.
Cheers
Foxy :)
 
Chelle,

I'm not sure now whether its military or colliery buildings. Some of the old colliery at shirebrook looked a little like these, but they've been gone years, so can't compare.

Here's the flashearth link.

Those workshop type buildings, didn't realise the building with the tower was joined on, too many trees since this pic was taken.

and that malting type place.

the site backs onto langold country park, think that used to be a colliery years ago. still searching what this place was.

Bingo, ive found out what the buildings belonged to. It is the former Firbeck Colliery. The large house was the general office building with the caretakers house at the left hand side of it. The large building to the rear of the site, was the former loco shed and workshops.

Info got from:-
