Sunnyvale Brickworks - Oct 2010

Visited with coops.

Was a different explore, once we reached the place after nearly being eaten alive by two very angry boxer dogs, we were in awe at the size of it!
History is a little hard on this place as there isnt much on the web, but from what I have been told, the clay was dug out locally but all the beicks were sent up a 'high wire' to Hipperholme train station. The only parts left of the high wire are some concrete foundations in a stream.

Anyhow on with the pics.

Looks like a cool explore; nice shots.
There was an old brick pit up in Lincs that I used go to,but it was not quite on the scale of this place; more a minnow amongst the sharks really.
Forgive my ignorance,but what are the coops? is it some kind of board of director's or something along those lines?

He is a username lol not on here i dont think like.

Its a massive place in the middle of nowhere - the road down to it would just about take a transit van max

Nice find nij and co, if you guys haven't done stewartby and want to sling me a pm I would be more than happy to take you over there. Need to get a look at the left side of the site and capture a few missed shots on the side I did. I suspect Sunday would be the best day to attack it as the crews we encountered there wouldn't be around

Xmas day is fine haha.

I have a weekend off coming up soon, but I will be busy on the sunday

We can go for Saturday if you fancy it (As long as it isnt this weekend as I am off to Spain to work) the only problem may be in seeing the middle of the site. Drop me a PM if you want to give it a go...I need to see the left side of the site still and there may be a little more to see there
