Hello all,
This is my first post, I'll warn you it's quite Pic heavy. Any feedback would be welcome.
I won't go into too much detail on the history of the site as it's been covered here (http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php/2272-ROF-Thorpe-Arch-Wetherby-N.Yorks-Dec-08) and I don't think I've found much more out about the site as a whole.
I've been visiting Thorp Arch during my lunch breaks as I work near by. The site is huge and if anyone decides to visit I think you'll need about a day to see everything.

I'll start at Queen Mary House in the centre of the estate. Named after the Queen Mary due to it's 3 explosives storage towers, looking similar to the ship's chimneys. Currently used by Moores Furniture Group the building is only half used and the portacabin at the back is no longer used.

A view up into one of QMH's towers. From outside the tower you can still see the rails through the doorway.

Moving on, within the Moores perimiter fence I spotted this structure on Google earth. Anyone have any idea what it is?
