Hi guys,

Cuban had been itching to go to this place for a while so we decided to go recently and it turned out to be a fantastic explore, with still a lot more to see. I am sure you all know the history by now from previous threads, so I shall go straight onto the pics, I visited here with Cuban B and my girlfriend.

Thanks for looking,


Outside the Paper mill,

More graffiti artists have been in since I last went by the looks of it, not seen those two pieces before!

There's some good pieces up at the top of the broke plant (Where Cuban's foot went through the floor).

Been here 3 times & there are still bits that I've missed such as the clock & the model made by the apprentices in the 50s.

Nice pics from both of you-looks like there's loads of stuff left internally & looks like a decent place to mooch around (apart from that top floor maybe! :eek:)

That picture with the half of a machine column/ block left in it (Totally Wrecked) looks awesome.
