Ripped from Wiki
"British Cellophane Ltd (BCL) was a joint venture company formed in 1935 between La Cellophane SA and Courtaulds, when they began building a major factory for producing Cellophane in Bridgwater, Somerset, England.

The process for manufacturing cellulose film from viscose was discovered by three English chemists, Charles Frederick Cross, Edward John Bevan and Clayton Beadle in 1898.

I'd been wondering what was going on here at moment so its great to get an update and see that things are largely unchanged... Though have they started to demolish the outbuildings in the last photo?
 
Awesome visit

I bet there is an eiree silence in there! All those machines just sat there.

I worked there for about a year before it closed and a lot of the site was unused and had been that way for a long time, it was quite eiree going down to the rest room on the night shift as it was dark and very creepy.
 
Great photos, looks like a good explore. My grandfather used to live in Bridgwater, and you always knew when you were close because of the stench from places like this. Probably a good thing it's closed in that respect.
