Terry's of York. March '13 Visit

[yorkietommo]

Me and royalbob had a little trip round York doing some street stuff and decided to call in here on the way back as it's a place I never got chance to go.

Terry's opened in 1926 and closed it's doors in 2005. All the choccy oranges are now made in Poland and other places. A lot of the site has been demo'd.

Only had my compact camera and we weren't exactly dressed for squeezing through gaps. Secca in a cabin behind the clock tower meant we couldn't get up there either. Although it did look doable with a nice tempting window.

Anyway, here's some snappy snaps.

If security were actually in then that's possibly an all-time first. I'm assuming there was still demolition plant onsite as there's fuck all else there to protect.

[yorkietommo]

Aye, secca was in. No machines on site, but the sheeting was patched up everywhere. Must be something in the works.

[Boba Low]

Finally. Can't wait to sit on the clocktower roof again when it's live.

[lennymcgra]

Love this place, great post

[Clough]

Secca on site, the last time I was there the doors were chained open!

Some nice images! What compact was it?
