Elton Mill, Elton, Cambridgeshire

Elton Mill 


Date - January 
Location - Elton 
Demolished - no
*

This was our last exploration of the day, and I have to say the start was quite challenging because almost every single cow was in the field, and I really dislike cows. Once we got inside, we were only there for a short period of time since it was getting dark outside. We managed to have a quick look around, but I must say I definitely won’t be returning to this location because it felt quite spooky. 
Once we left the mill, all the cows disappeared, and I was relieved!


The mill dates back to around 1800, possibly even earlier. It was granted Grade II listed status in 1988 and was used for corn milling. In the 1990s, it briefly opened as a tourist attraction but sadly closed down again. There was also a house that used to be attached to the mill, but it was demolished around 1881.

RAF Warboy - HF radio site - Cambridgeshire,

 RAF Warboys - HF Radio site


Date : January 
Location : Canbridgeshire 
Delmoished - No 

This was our second exploration of the day, located just about 5 minutes up the road from the previous site we visited. Initially, we thought this was the medical center, but as soon as we entered, we quickly realized it was not. After checking the eDOB maps, we found out it is a communication center. Although the site is small, it is still a pretty cool little location. Despite being covered in graffiti, it retains a lot of its original features.

Strangely enough, I can't seem to find much information about this place. All I know is that it was part of RAF Warboys.
