Huyck Ltd were involved in the manufacture of equipment used in the paper making and textile production industries. Trawling through the interweb I can't find out a lot about this specific site, other than it closed sometime in 2005 and has been empty ever since and also a planning application is in progress for the building of 250 homes on the site.

It's a pretty substantial size, but as with most factories of its type once all the equipment's gone, which of course it has, all you're really left with is a massive empty warehouse.

It was still interesting none the less and there were a few interesting bits and pieces left in the offices.

Oh, and the power's still on :D

Manufacturing floor, more recently been used as a drag strip by a white van and peugeot 106 which were dumped in there for some reason.

Off the manufacturing floor there were quite a lot of bits and pieces left.

As I said, the power was still on in some parts of the building.

Staffroom, looks like it's been used more recently as a den for local kids.
