Another one for you all...

Unwin Brothers, Philip Unwin & Sir Stanley Unwin are one of the longest established printers in the UK and have been around for 180 years and held residence in the Woking works since 1896. From what i understand they were responsible for developing the Gresham Press.

The Woking site was closed down in 2007 and production was moved to a new facility in Chessington due to a merger with another print work that had gone into administration, Lasting Impressions.

I didn't even know this site existed until it popped up on 28dl, and i only live round the corner!!! Good explore, even if we did get rattled by security and make a very hasty exit through the fence...

The outside, has that awesome victorian mill look, shame it is demo'd now :(
