I have had to split this report in two parts due to the amount of time we spent here and the amount of pics we got.this is why industrial is my favourite type of explore.because you can actually get to look around and explore.finding little hidden bits.but I love the colours too and the rust and decay.we met up with my friend in Sheffield and he joined us here.we had a great chat as we wandered around here about all sorts and we became great friends..there is quite a lot to see here with several buildings,this report concentrates on the main packaging area and factory floor and kiln areas...dyson refractories was built up in the 1800's by John dyson and his son.they produced bricks and other clay related products.at its height it employed hundreds of workers.rge company worked closely with the Sheffield steel industry and with the decline of steel production in the eighties the company started to see a loss of work.the kilns and machinery was started to be dated.in 2006 the company relocated leaving the site derelict.
The main factory ground floor.i think this is where the finished products were shrink wrapped and also the storage area ready for transporting out
Loved these two bits of graffiti
Heading upstairs is the main production area were I think a lot of the main production area was before the ware was sent down by lifts to the kilns down on the lower level.
The floor here is a bit ropey.so kept my distance a bit from the edge
Loved the old lift working here
Heading back downstairs this is the main kiln area.it was virtually pitch black throughout here.but it was such a nice area.with the kilns stretching in a long line along the building.i did love this bit with the cart tracks running through here
A few externals.
Part two coming soon.
