Visited back in July,
Britains leading supplier of feedstuffs for livestock. Formed as an amalgamation of BOCM Slicock and Pauls Agriculture in 1992. Pauls started out in the brewing industry trading malt and barley but this soon moved to trading maize and products to feed horses and other animals post 1900. BOCM was a producer of vegetable oils intended for human consumption and soap manufacture.The by-product of this was known as 'oilseed cake' which was a protein rich feed that could be easily fed to all types of animals.
Due to competition and economy this mill and various others were closed down in order to save money and keep the company in with the competition. This particular plant was closed in 2006.
Evidence of other buildings remain on site including the impressive brick facade of the admin building. All that remains is the main production building and another unknown building..
Exterior
Stairs
Ground floor
First Floor
Looking down through a hole in the floor
Control room
Broken
Messy
Stairs
Looking down the stairwell
Looking NE out over Glasgow, taken at 300mm
"served with honour to the end"
Found this on the wall as soon as we entered, it was unsettling to say the least....
This place smells horrible due to rotten molasses and what not being spilled everywhere...not for those with weak stomachs ; D
Thanks for looking
