This site, now mostly stripped of equipment saw over 100 years of chocolate production until its closure in 2006.
Though a lot of stuff has been removed it seems there's still lots to see here. I took many photos and struggled to condense them to this many!

Nice first post, Cake. Don't tell me you didn't taste the brown stuff in the pipe!:lol::lol:

A couple of minor criticisms if I may? You do not need to state "report", we are clever enough to work that one out for ourselves. If it is not a report, then you have posted it in the wrong section.
Also the green circle/black arrow is not necessary nor encouraged. I know some cannot remember which forum they are posting on(you know who you are:mrgreen:) , but it is not required here.

Welcome to the forums:)
 
Great to see - interesting images. Pity there's so little equipment left. :(
 
Thanks!

Bryag I didn't taste the chocolaty (is that a word?!) residue in the pipe but I did get my nose right in there!
Ahhh.. just re-read point no.3 of posting rules. Must have missed that 1st time round. Eek! :exclaim:
Although really just a suggestion of what was once there a few bits of plant/machinery remain.
Worth a return visit for sure.
I've included a few more shots here, still way less that what I took on the day.

If you look a little closer at the dial (This made the trip for me):

Thanks for looking.
 
Some cracking shots there – and the bright colours are a little unexpected. Mind you, no surprise if you've seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory … ;)
 
Very good effort Cake...must go look this one up as I am only in Swindon.Some parts of the place resemble some old Mills I have seen.

Hello form Bristol, we're not far apart at all.
Thanks , yes well worth a visit I'd say.
Anywhere you'd recommend particularly in the South West area?
:)

Yeah that top floor with the red and green was most surreal. Nice work on your Flickr site by the way.:)
