After hearing about this place from a few people around Aberdeen, I knew I had to take a look. I went in twice, once with a member of the forum. The place is huge, it would take an entire day to see everything, and I still haven't.
Broadford works was a textiles factory which closed down in 2002, owned by Richard's ltd. 190 jobs were lost and disputes over redundancy are still ongoing. AFAIK the place closed down in December, and hints of this are evident, but there were no christmas decorations put up since the staff knew they were leaving. On one wall in an office leaving messages to colleagues are left behind, including one reading "Merry Christmas, Boys."
Here are a selection of the photos I took. I am a lowly 2nd year art/photography student so I apologize for these not being perfect, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.
