I have been past this place many times and it's always been pretty well sealed up. You could see machines and stuff in there but also lots of fire damage and vandalism.

Today I was suprised to see they have started demolishing the place so I decided to stop and have a look around. I needn't have bothered because it's utterly trashed and has been stripped out for demo. Only a few of the original machines remained.

Anyway, not my finest hour but still worth ten mins :thumb

bloody hell!! this is 2 mins down the road from me!! infact a mate had the second floor, he made leathercloth in there!!

i had a go at this 12 months or so ago, but the curtain twitchers struck, and i got threatened with arrest off 2 nice coppers :( although its worth noting at the time it was being set fire to every other week, and the old bids thought i was there to the same!!

B..
