My first UrbEx upload so bear with me please and apologies if you have already seen this location posted elsewhere - it is quite near another fairly popular location, so it's possible I'm not the first !

I stumbled across the location when out for a stroll with my camera in Harlow, Essex.

I knew very little about the Urbex scene but when I got back home and did a bit of research on the tinterweb about abandonded and derelict buildings I was directed to this site. I'm really impressed with a lot of your images on here and hopefully mine will improve. I am certainly looking forward to some more urban exploring soon and have another site in mind for the next few days!

Hope you enjoy the pics - any constructive comments gratefully received :)

Is that a Sierra in the car park? The shape looks right.

The photos are great, I especially like the close ups. There are staple shots so I am led to believe... peeling paint, stair porn and the obligatory toilet shot. Using that as a guide you have two out of three right there. Great little set of pics.
 
Some of these pictures are smashing. If you want to extend your approach you might try getting down a bit to lower the camera angle and squaring up to the subject. It's all a matter of preference of course but you may like what you see. I enjoyed you padlock picture the most. Anyway the best of luck, keep going!
 
Yeah, a total mess except for that smart rotating door. how come that part has survived so intact I wonder?

Semms like it's been empty since about 2005. Nortel used to have a massive presence in the area. Gradually it downsized, and Maypole Social Club pushed them out.
 
Thanks for all the positive comments! Been really busy at work last few days and didn't get to the other site I had in mind but I'll hopefully get up there soon and use your tips to improve my pics. Cheers !
Indeed it was a Sierra, Curious Dragon.
I believe as WittyKitty has said that they are fire hydrants in the last pic
I think the reason why the rotating doors have survived is the CCTV camera that point directly too them - although I'm sure that hasn't stopped yobs before ;-)
