A large Leicester factory that was partially destroyed by fire in 2005 after being abandoned for a few years. Two complete buildings remain and give a good impression of what the factories of this area would have been like.

mmmm.... wood panelling!
I love it when I come across some unexpected wood panelling.
And before TC picks up on the double meaning.... it was half intended :D

cool did you ever hear voices/footsteps in there?

No, I didnt but my friend was doing a photoshoot in there and a tramp came and sat staring at her model! :S

We've used it quite a bit for different photoshoots, suits fashion quite well! :)

Me and mate did scare a homeless guy in westdale though! made me jump a mile! haha

lol we used to hear footsteps and voices, and once I heard crying! Never saw anyone there though :confused: Westdale looked like there were loads of people living in the offices, made us feel very uneasy

Have finally had chance to sit down and go through my backup hard drive. Sorted some pictures from my first explore round the building:
