Vernon Carus Boiler House - Penwortham - May 2012

[smiffy]

Decided to give this it's own report as I've took much more pictures in here then the factory itself.
Thanks to scrappy on letting me know it's a boiler house and not the engine house, which I originally thought it was. :lol:

This building seems to be the only place were the machines have been left and I think it'll be quite a long time until it's demolished, as I'm sure they'll have to move all of this out.
Inside there are ladders on the side of the boiler to climb to the top. There is also another room which has what looks to be another boiler but was to dark to take any pictures. In that same room there are stairs leading to the second storey which has a crap ceiling that kept on falling through, and again is to dark to take any pictures.


So here goes.....


The exterior.

Buttons :D
There is also a massive fuse box, but the pictures of it are far to blurry.

Got carried away with panoramas :p
One of the boiler house to the left, and obviously Vernon Carus to the right.

Yeah still was pretty sealed mate, just had to hope I could climb the front. Turned out I could, but getting out is quite hard haha! :)

It looks relativly undamaged in there - good stuff

Think most of the damage has been done by pigeons and rain seen as the roof has disappeared in some areas. But not much human damage has been done really, then again there is a picture on a website from 2007 where it looks a lot nicer.

Top job, gotta get in there! Nice injury too :p
