This is a place I have been meaning to see for over a year now but never got around to it.dont know why as its only half hour up the road.so I finally got around to doing it.headed up there on my own and after a fight with brambles I got in.i was a bit unispired at first with lots of big white trashed rooms in the dark.but as I wandered around around looking in some of the other rooms then I found the upstairs with the staff canteen and some of the out buildings I enjoyed it more.i ended up spending a few hours here mooching around.you could see clearly this is the locals hang out were they come to smoke there Jamaican woodbines.this is the second Grampian foods place I have visited with the first being in elmswell which was massive.that has all been demolished now.
Grampian foods produced breaded poultry products here,but with the downturn in sales of breaded poultry they were put on a ninety day consultation in 2007,with the threat of job losses.in February 2008 the factory shut its doors completely with the loss of over three hundred jobs.the site has laid derelict since.
A few externals first this is the main production buildings with the canteen sitting above
This was one room I went in.it was pitch black and burnt out
Next to the burnt room.was this room.i liked it in here.it was some sort of mixing room,with a large vat with pipes leading from it.and a large grilled bung in the floor
I don't what this building was used for.it may have been a warehouse or something.it had offices and locker rooms and a labatory in it.
I was dying to know what was at the top of these steps but they had cut away the bottom section.so I walked up that thin bar balanced myself and pulled myself through the gap between the building and steps.i only took three pics.off the main rood space and some machinery and an external.
It was then into the main heartbeat of the factory.were the produce was made.most of downstairs was fairly dark.with lots of white walls.
So it's finally upstairs.this is were the staff areas are.the kitchens and toilets.the night shift rooms
