Just wanted to say Hello to everyone as this is my first thread on the site and thanks to all of you to inspire me and get out there!
For some time now I have walked past the mystery electrical facility and tried to enter it multiple times however i could not find a appropriate way of getting down the the facility. I have researched it many times and came across some information that was shown Gromr123's post, from the user Stu8fish, were he said the following.
The first site is the Former Reigate Corporation Electricity Works power station built under the Reigate
Electric Lighting Order 1897 and completed in 1901. The order was introduced to help introduce the new power of electricity that spelt the demise of coal gas as a form of fuel.
Currently in use as a primary electrical distribution site. Power is fed to this site at 33kv and transformed down to 11kv and then fed out to local substations where it is transformed down to normal domestic mains voltages 230/400v feeding your house etc.
There are live high voltage compounds on the site and active security patrols visit frequently.
I knew there were risks to this facility but after having to walk past it on nearly a daily basis i decided to enter the compound with extreme care. I did not enter any of the buildings i just walked around the site taking photos.
I hope you liked my first post i will be posting more soon Thanks for all the inspiration you guys!!
