Great Tattenhams Methodist Church
Where? Banstead, Surrey. Photos 8. Comments 3. Posted 29 September 2007.
Great Tattenhams Methodist Church was built in 1953. At around the same time, another church was built nearby - St Mark's. Both were extended in the 1960s to cope with increased need. In 2000 it was proposed to unite the two, as the Methodist Church's maintenence costs rose. In 2004 it gave it's final service.
There are now plans to build 20 two-bedroom flats on the site...
Longcross Barracks

Longcross Barracks closed in 2000. Nearby was a military test/research site but they weren't directly associated with the barracks.
Not a very interesting explore, this one. Just a few buildings, all stripped out. I imagine it is a bit like exploring an old TravelLodge or something.
Silverlands House
Where? Chertsey, Surrey. Large photos 11. Comments 1. Posted 27 August 2008.
Silverlands House was built in the 1800s and has had a rather interesting history. It was a private home, an actors orphanage and a nurse training school. The training school finally closed in the 1990s.
In 2001 there were plans to turn it into a clinic for convicted paedophiles. Needless to say, local residents protested against it, what-with it being so close to local schools. During the protests, the house received a £3million refit for it's new role. But in 2002 the protests paid off and Parliament decided to end the conversion. It has remained empty since then...
