Tales of the Urban Explorer: City Sauna

avatar
(Edited)

By the time we arrived at ‘City Sauna’, we were both feeling a little pissed. ‘La Chambre Swingers Club & Sex Dungeon' was sealed, and I mean a fucking huge gate is now in the way, 12 feet high and beyond both of us.

One of the day's highlights had been cruelly whipped away from us and the whips inside that deviant club would have to be discovered another day.

30_IMG_4223_30.jpg

A Brothel of some renown was a decent substitute, one that has seen a documentary written about it (even though brothels are technically illegal in England), even better, though it's dressed up as a 'Sauna & Massage Parlour'.

29_IMG_4222_29.jpg

Being advertised as 'the older woman for the older man' is a little different but seeing what is on offer today made me think otherwise. I suppose some older blokes might enjoy the 'fat crinkly arse' type, but they don't all appear to be cougars at least when viewed from the rear.

Yes, 'City Sauna' is still in business. How they are evading the authorities, fuck knows as the services they offer are barely disguising their true intent. So why am I outside their very battered premises?

…they just moved further down the road and left the old place to rot away…

Normal business practice for the UK I would say, and as a side benefit it gives us explorers some fodder to feast on.

‘Busty Lilly’ is trying to get a degree by selling her arse and occasionally cheap custard. All you need to do is pour tins of the stuff over your client sitting in the Jacuzzi and listen to his moans of… ‘Oh yeah, baby! All over!'. It's a hard life.

...'City Sauna in the days when you could walk up, knock on the door and get a discount shag'...

Entering ‘City Sauna’ was hardly a feat of nature. It had been ‘Tour Bussed’ so hard that the front door was open and short of walking around the extremely ineffective anti-climbing fencing we were inside.

1_IMG_4193_1.jpg

Having watched part of the documentary, 'A Very British Brothel', I could identify the front desk and décor, though it was a little more wretched on our arrival.

2_IMG_4194_2.jpg

Poetry for the punters, or for the ‘workers’ that would be sitting provocatively on the sofa waiting patiently for the next goon to walk in?

3_IMG_4195_3.jpg

I see extravagant outgoings for the finest quality hand wash. From what I see in the blurred distance, I would likely take anything.

4_IMG_4196_4.jpg

'City Sauna' is still accommodating for would-be visitors, though none of this food is particularly edible.

5_IMG_4197_5.jpg

Sections of the ground floor were looking a little ‘burnt’. This would be nothing compared to what we would see shortly.

6_IMG_4198_6.jpg

Why Mr. Ali's council tax bill ended up here, I can't tell you. Maybe he was a desperate punter trying to get a cheaper blowjob by selling his sob story of debt to one of the ‘workers’.

7_IMG_4200_7.jpg

The desk telephone for taking ‘orders’ was still intact. Most other things had been scattered around.

8_IMG_4201_8.jpg

I can’t figure out all this; times and fees but for what services? A hand job is going to be cheaper than a bondage session, but the prices appear to be similar.

9_IMG_4202_9.jpg

'Only the best seats for my girls' – I can see that was the case once.

10_IMG_4203_10.jpg

The décor is fucking awful if I am allowed to say so. Who thought of this?

11_IMG_4204_11.jpg

12_IMG_4205_12.jpg

The cellar was the usual dingy hole with little down there besides what looked like a broken vacuum cleaner.

27_IMG_4220_27.jpg

It was time to ascend to where the action used to lay (as did the many middle-aged..., not so-succulent ladies).

13_IMG_4206_13.jpg

If I was to attend 'City Sauna' and be sent up these stairs, I would be performing a quick U-Turn. Gone was the beautiful furniture of the lower sections, only to be replaced by the entrance to a burnt hellish dystopia.

14_IMG_4207_14.jpg

The Sauna room had survived even though all that panelled wood would go up nicely in flames given the opportunity.

15_IMG_4208_15.jpg

Very serviceable, simply move the wood around, light the coals and you could start sweating profusely before taking a dildo up the arse.

16_IMG_4209_16.jpg

If one room had survived the 'fire' it was that one. Moving out and into the corridor looked like moving into the abyss (or for someone like me, derp normality).

17_IMG_4210_17.jpg

At least one of the lights had not exploded.

18_IMG_4211_18.jpg

When you can visibly see the floor fifteen feet below and wave to your comrade, you do need to take a little more care.

20_IMG_4213_20.jpg

These lights had fared even better, with just a touch of melting.

19_IMG_4212_19.jpg

Disappointed that we were late again, and were not going to encounter sex toys, KY-Jelly, lubricant, smelly knickers, dildos, or vibrators we spotted the pinnacle of our visit… those stairs!

21_IMG_4214_21.jpg

If I thought the stairs at Burnley Building Supplies, were a challenge, these were at a different level.

Try and avoid the bottom step... is always great advice.

23_IMG_4216_23.jpg

With stinking black encrusted fingers I reached the top floor of ‘City Sauna’ and gazed at my surroundings.

22_IMG_4215_22.jpg

Just off the landing section was a room that miraculously had escaped the wrath of the inferno and someone was living here?

24_IMG_4217_24.jpg

Why is it that nobody ever pays their bills? Yaser is also not the ex-owner of ‘City Sauna’.

25_IMG_4218_25.jpg

It's that Ali bloke again, the one who wants the sexual freebies. That is a decent-sized Water bill amassed over a long period.

It was a short distance to the 'squatter room' that had escaped the fire, and it was just as well.

26_IMG_4219_26.jpg

Going down the ‘Corridor of Ultimate Doom’ would have spelled death; I could smell it in the air. There was no stepping over that floor and I know my limits!

Descending that burnt-blackened rotten stairway was no less easy than getting up. I generally jump the bottom stair but as that floor is also full of holes, thought better of it.

28_IMG_4221_28.jpg

Very Apt I say. You could lock yourself into ‘City Sauna’ if you really can't get enough of it.

31_IMG_4225_31.jpg

In essence, 'City Sauna' is a fucking death-trap. This has to be one of the worst staircases I have encountered, and all for Mr. Ali, and his mate who just want cheaper shags.

I get the impression that you may live near a ghost town with all of the abandoned buildings you get to explore. Racking my brain but have you ever explored an abandoned bowling alley? I imagine that would be wondrous.

Taking a dildo up the ass hahahah! You are a true renaissance man seemingly writing just for my enjoyment.

I do have to travel, Sheffield is not very close to where I live. Everything around my place has already been done!

Not done a Bowling Alley yet, actually haven't seen one appear on the radar.

Taking a dildo up the ass hahahah!

Well.. you know some of them like chicks with strap-on's... hehe...

As a rule no.., but if the front door happens to be open.., then it makes life easier for us!

The documentary is authentic, but I don't know why they would draw attention to themselves as a borderline illegal practice.

It's a hard life.

Hard on would not last long entering a dive like this even when functioning, wall paper, creaky old rusted bed, cupboard with gravy.....?

Know nothing about reverse engineering, sorry beyond me!

Very exotic. I guess the clients were not too worried about the decor. Was this one for the bucket list?

Was this one for the bucket list?

Not really, it was doing the rounds last year and doesn't contain an awful lot of content.., but has some decent history. Anything 'sex' is always somewhere to visit.

"Very serviceable, simply move the wood around, light the coals and you could start sweating profusely before taking a dildo up the arse..." 😂😂😂

Before it was a Brothel, it was a pub flanked by a huge factory. From the days when the workers flowed out of their shit job and into the pub to forget about what was just next door.

Si esas paredes hablaran contarían muchas historias de sexo, amor y lagrimas, también de tristezas, derechos y lujuria, la vida del hombre y mujeres un sitio decentemente para masajes y sauna, pero otra cosa por dentro.

"Non-suculent ladies" at all, right 😄
Prostitution it's a fucking scourge but well, that's another whole level of degradation.
There are some guys out there who like toothless girls and kinky stuff.

More burnt interiors, so odd. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it does seem like the last few you shared had more burning, or am I just remembering incorrectly? I'd say it'd be interesting to be a fly on the wall in aa place like this when it was open (or it's new current place) but somehow I feel like even AS a fly, i'd need some hand sanitizer lol. Funny place @slobberchops
