Stewartby Brickworks, August 2010

After a couple of disappointing fails we tried our luck at this industrial site. It covers a large area with many parts very open and exposed so it took some deliberation regarding how to approach things. Once we were in, it was a really enjoyable explore.

One of the things about industrial explores is the scale of things, which dwarf you when standing next to them.

There were 'one or two' brickes laying about and a variety of clues as to what went on at the site.

There's some interesting history on wikipedia regarding the site if anybody would like to check it out:

Visited with Flame and the audible company of The Beach Boys.

A very cool site and worth checking out!

A lonely, and rather nice, chair:





Presumably some of the finishes available in the company's bricks:





This room was great. The amount of brick dust on the floor and up the walls bathed everything in a rose-tinted glow:





Items found in one of the crew rooms:







Another work area:





Many thanks for checking out the report!

Nice one, it looks good. Still have to tick this off my 'to do list'.

Yeah it's good Frink! Couple of things to bear in mind so if you want a heads up on anything, just PM me

Very cool, good shots. I went here recently and also enjoyed it. Did you explore the building across from the level crossing?

No we didn't. There was a bit of activity going on over to that side of the site. Don't know if it would have even affected us, but we played it safe.
