Nettlefolds, The Underworld - Birmingham - 2012

[Derelict-UK]

I first visited this place back in 2007, the upper site has been slightly more demolished, the lower part awaiting it's future of a new super hospital courtesy of the cash strapped NHS.

Below ground not much has changed apart from the monumental stripping of anything worth it's weight in scrap metal.

It also feels like you are in the bowels of a decade old oil drum, seeping through and covering virtually any surface.


Nettlefolds was a division of GKN manufacturing screws and fasteners during the last Century.


I didn't go overboard on the images as I have been previously but we did have fun with some flashlights.


Pics edited to give you the feel of the grime of the place!!!

Above ground was a good sight for me, a picture I took 5 years ago had got better with time (thanks to a few pigeons)...
