This is my first ever explore and also the first time I had used a DSLR not set to auto, so it took a lot of trial and error with my shots and any feedback/criticism is welcome.
Down to the site itself,
Thanks to Ollies report I found the name of the company which was Nutting and speed and managed to find a little more info on the company.
Originally it was called Thoday and Son, a corn and later seed merchants' business originally in Willingham, moved to the railway station before 1900 and was still there in 1984, having taken over several other similar firms and changed its name to Nutting & Speed. Lurmark Ltd. began manufacturing spray nozzles in premises in the centre of Long Stanton in 1954 and moved to a new building in Station Road in 1979. (fn. 77) Each business employed 30-35 people in Long Stanton in 1984.

The closest end of this building as you will see in the next few shots is pretty inaccessible.
Being my first time and the camera belonging to my girlfriend I wasn't going to try and get anywhere on this side.
A sack conveyor from the bottom floor up to the top.
I noticed the one way flaps at each floor, presumabley to stop the sack falling on someones head.
Some kind of tumbler or sorter I think, this is right next to some small chutes to the floor felow.
Yours truly.
Another piece of graffiti.
Hope this isn't too bad a report, as said before advice is welcome especially if you see where I have gone wrong with camera settings etc.
