G R bodycote was a small hosiery firm making making boys and mens underwear. It closed some time in the 1990's. Quite a nice little explore, there is a surprising ammount of machinery left in there. Visited with MD and Boothy.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it bizarre to see a good industrial site like that just to make pants? :lol:
Love those pieces of machinery and the lift thingy.
Fab photos, Goldie, and a nice find. :)
 
interesting. Drive through Hinckley quite often and there looks to be quite a lot of old industrial buildings.

Like Foxy says, it's difficult to work out what all those presses and the hoist could have had to do with underwear production.

thanks for telling us about your brief encounter :err:
 
Was a tidy little place,Theres plenty of machinery left about which was odd as this site is missing to main walls.

All in all it was a good site
