I recently visited an abandoned factory in Derbyshire and took some photos. I don't know anything about the factory, but I did see some posts on here about it. It's very easy to access, but I wouldn't recommend going there at night.

Nice one fella..Very atmospheric the sky looks awsome.

I`m sure i recognise the place but can`t place it.
 
The black and white photo's really give this place a great feel, much better than colour. Think you made the right choice there. I've got to agree the sky in the 3rd photo is awesome. great work mate

You recognise it from my post probably, it is in Ripley and I go here a lot.
Black and white looks better than my colour :)

The factory was used to repair diggers for the Butterley company.
 
Thanks everyone. Yes, it's in Ripley. I wasn't sure you could say the place name :)

I think B&W photos of derelict places work really well, but colour can also work well with dramatic blue skies :)
 
I agree,the b&w pics are very atmospheric and really give it that abandoned look in a different way to colour.nice work.
 
I live near it, PM me too if you want to go. I know the place really well. Totally stripped and chavved to Aston Hall levels to be honest.

If anyone wants to see a few more photos of the interior etc, click here

Well, my thread on this one seems to have vanished, so I'll add my latest pictures on here. Can I pretend that this place is a drain and name it? :p
It is currently being demolished. Sorry about the picture quality, I only had my iPhone on me.

Thanks for looking.
 
It's a good first explore, but get there quick, it is going soon I think. My other photos were better, taken on my "proper" camera :lol:
