G L Murphy Machinery. Imperial Works, Menston. Visited June 11.

Wanted to do this for ages. I know it's been done to death, but still a cool little place.

Solo explore, so my arse was twitching a bit more than usual. Took the rangefinder along too and did a few on film, but still space on the roll - will add when developed.

For anyone who's not seen any history, here's a little.

Established 1930, Specialising in the manufacture of Reclamation Machinery and Leather Tanning Machinery.
All signs point to a 70s era closure, with the exception of the 2002 glamour calendars hanging downstairs. (No doubt added by local kids)

Anyway, pics:

Lol. Cheers fella. Yeah, there were a few bouncy spots! The vintage corner didn't worry me as much as the top kitchen though. Or the big steps!
