I have been disparate to visit this place for so long. Had never seen it up on a website anywhere before and I wanted to see if it was an actual abandonment because from the road you couldn't tell. I sent off a text to Fezzyben to see if he was up for an explore or three and luckily he was :p So off we went!

This place is incredible, and I will be back very soon with a model for my portfolio shots!

(Here comes a slow trickle of photographs, just general location shots, nothing special, because i'm SO going back!)

The company was called Bonas Bros Webbing and tape. the name made me chuckle. will put my pics up when I have added some coal to my steam powered internet connection
 
Nice photos both of you, looks like a pretty interesting place, might have a gander when i'm in the area. Is this that place you mentioned as a potential site a while back?

hi there, i wondered when somebody would go and take a look at this place. i work in this area and drive past most days. i did'nt think much would be left of the place as gyppos trashed the place last year and stripped it of scrap. its also a magnet for vandals, as you can see by the state of the place. the building was intact and in one piece about a year ago, and has since undergone a rapid decline. i will have to take a closer look. anyone interested in a visit?

Couldnt find a willing model, so I did it myself :)


It had been accessed since me and Fezzys explore yesterday, and there was a lot more things that were smashed, people had tried throwing machinery through windows, one machine was stuck in a window, but was too big to have gone through so it was just there, stuck. I put a few things right, like I put all of the draws back in the desk for making my set up. I made it look a little more pretty again.

Those are really fab pics, NB. There's so much light in them and I like the derelict feel of the place much more without seeing the trashed bits, if that makes sense. :mrgreen:

Complete sense :) I just love the feeling of desolation and abandonment in general. So I like to try and bring it across in photographs. I don't like seeing places completely gutted :( Thanks Foxy :)

doesn't look much from the outside, but really like this^^^^ type of space, was thinking would be great for a model shoot, then scrolled down the page and there was you sat there! :mrgreen:

really nice set! although the very quick damage sucks :( I've found it really weird how a place can go quiet for years, then after a few explorers have been in the chavs follow soon after, either thru word of mouth, or seeing people milling about :mad:

anyway, what have you done to the self pics? lense correction, or deliberate crazy'ness :p
 
Hi, amazing photographs NobodyGirl! This is exactly my kind of place - Odeon Master I see you're from Burton like me, drop me an email if you do head up that way and don't mind me tagging along? [email protected]
 
you scrub up quite well. NG! :mrgreen:
more used to seeing you scrabbling thru broken windows, or crossing dodgy floorboards with big holes in them!:mrgreen::mrgreen:;)
