A large abandoned industrial site in the UK.

The site was constructed between 1916-1918 using over 30million bricks.

The site has been closing over the years and at the time of these visits only a small part was still live.

The main building was the cleanest factory building I have visited. The lights worked and even the lift!! Further into the site you find lots of decay and foliage as nature is taking over.
Demolition is well under way now. May still be a few lil bits left to see here.

1. We start at the cleaner part of the site.

14. Can't resist a bit of symmetry.

Really surprised at the lack of populatity with this site, I am not really sure why. I thought it was bloody awesome.
Thanks for looking, for a few more of my shots check out British Celanese
 
This is very nice. Loving shot 2. Looks like id enjoy a wonder, site looks huge
 
It was the same with British Cellophane in Bridgewater, no-one ever went there either and that was a huge industrial site like this. Cheers for posting.

Lovely report darbians..funny you say that krela I was only looking at some old reports from British cellophane and thought it was awesome.and I guess it's been demolished now or converted or reused..

Demolished, definitely. It's now a pile of ground up rubble in a landfill somewhere. The land is designated for a business park, whether it's been built or not I have no idea, Bridgewater is a shit-hole I try and avoid.
 
Good photography. I like picture no 11, you shot one light shining through, maybe a star filter to give that bit more impact. And there's nothing wrong with a bit of symmetry.

No filters used here. Lights just do that sometimes.
Thanks.
