We had been watching this one for a long time and finally gained access after a tip off. Premier Screw & Repetition was founded in 1921 and went bust a few years ago. Some personal interest in this one for me as my mum worked there for a while, and my dad was there for most of his working life. Unfortunately there had been some damage, but overall it was a fantastic place. There were stacks of paperwork, furniture, and computers just left everywhere, though people from businesses in the area were going in there and loading vans up with stuff! Unfortunately, after being left wide open for a while it was damaged by arsonists early one morning :(

Were a few of these clocks about, they were used to time how long parts needed to be on the machines.

Some old photos of the factory in use...sorry about the quality, the originals are actually excellent. My parents can put a few names to faces on these, most no longer with us though. These are taken from large prints which were saved from the factory by someone. They passed them on to someone else, who in turn passed them on to me! There were also many old books there, i know one person saved some books dating from 1906 and 1909!
