Originally, I had planned a trip to a Cornish amusement park today, and in true Cornish holiday spirit was going to brave the rain as so not miss any of the fun. However, the only person I could find to go with me, was one of my non-urbex friends, she naturally canceled this morning, so I decided to go to the creamery in Torrington.
It opened in 1874, and closed in 1993 due to a fire in the part of the factory that is being demolished, bit by bit. The "man" said that two people had recently jumped off so they decided to start there. They started tearing it down 2 months ago and at the rate they are going, it will take them a couple of years.
It was my lucky day because the kind demolition man took me on a guided tour. I even gave him my phone number and he said he would ring me if he found anything interesting for me to see before it is torn down.
The corrugated metal tower in the background of this photo is the one that is being demolished.
This was about 30 seconds after they had pulled that huge chute down. When it hit the ground, it was like an earthquake under my feet. Incredible experience.
This is the fire damage in the part they are tearing down at the moment.
The demolition man that showed me around, was really excited to show me the art in this place, he said he thought it was a shame that it was going to be destroyed and that he hoped the artist was making a living from art because he deserved to.
Many thanks for looking at my photos. I enjoyed every single moment of my day out.
