This warehouse complex is next to the British Extraction building but I'm not sure if it's actually part of the same site. Either way I think it deserves a thread of its own. Loved this place, something unexpected around every corner, some much better than average graffiti too.

Lots of big spaces like this...

and dark corners with fantastic shafts of light

several identical stairways

and upstairs, what a surprise! You could almost call it a roof garden.

the wooden floor had lifted into curves, one had been smoothed and cleaned to use as a skateboard ramp (not this one obviously)

the smaller rooms at the front were certainly not what you'd find in a modern warehouse

haven't a clue what this was used for :confused:

and lastly some rather funky pipework

Took lots more photos but I seem to be having focusing issues at the moment, hope it's just me, not something to do with the knock my camera had recently!

That's great Muse, I love the light and the soft colours on these; very atmospheric. It is mad that such a large place that would have been so busy and noisy is now being slowly returned to nature

I was just going to add a thread on this place but seems a bit pointless now.. can I add some pics to this thread please?

fraid its those arched windows that do it for me - something about the way they bothered to put arches in rather than a straight lintel always has fascinated me

That floor with all the plants is superb, gold dust.

I want to see that place purely for that.
