On saturdays trip, this was our first stop off point, without planning at all, we noticed the building, and we thought it definately deserved a better look. Access was slightly comedy it has to be said...

Its a bit of a shell, but it has some very in tact parts such as the safes in the basements, and what seems to be some sort of PABX exchange in the cellars with lines to farnborough and hatfield...

A very cool little place, with some nice features...anyone been here before?

the rear of the building...

Looks good, I saw this place last year when we made our trip to bristol. At the time the site was crawling with workers woring on the other buildings on site and we decided to move on to other areas.

I gather the site was first done by the chaps from Spaceminuspeople back in 2004, Though i'm not sure they got into the pegasis Building.

Got anymore pictures form the inside?
 
Yeah, the place is largely empty. A lot of the areas are badly damaged but is still well worth seeing. I would suggest you see it, there is a large art deco staircase inside, but I didnt take a tripod, however dweeb has some quite interesting shots of it...

there is access to the rooftops for night shots over bristol area, and the basement has a cash wage payment area with huge safes e.t.c.

I'll try and get some more pictures up...but my pictures from the basement are very poor...

turk ;)

EDIT: Just looked at sminusp's site, and it seems there was a lot more buildings to see then , and there was a lot more things in situ than when we went...
 
Nice one! there's always been workmen around every time I'm up that way.

It's actually called the Pegasus Building btw...

When sminusp went there I seem to remember they got nabbed by a panda car going past on their way out, which is both comical and unfortunate.

With regards to the buildings, probably more than 75% of the site has been demolished over the past year most of which were the actual production line buildings, and the security seems to be variable, 2 years ago there wasn't any, then they got shit hot, now there's virtually none again. The site is due to be used for more airbus stuff iirc.
 
From what we could see, and what we achieved, the only way in do-able safely involves a slightly comedy climb...

Its a great little place, nice relaxed explore, the guestbook that we signed in the cabin, states that there were people in there...the day before us! officially!

you should check it out...

Bugger, last time we were up that way it was a bit dodgy, although the main gates were wide open, the copper chopper was flying around and around, lol.

Its funny to see that guestbook, hehe, I even recognize a name.

Been researching this place for ages and finally came across these, It was also known as new filton house and is luckily grade 2 listed
 
Sorry to be a geek but any shots of the PABX? I am a collector of such things and have worked on a few LOL :)

Lovely photos by the way.................
 
Looks an interesting place, and good to see the pics of it back in the day, Type1vw. would love to see some night time shots of Brizzle from up top :)
just realised, the visit was made back in '06

You cannot see the building through the tarpauling because they are unvailing it sometime this year or next.
Cant wait:)
 
Lovely, such a great thing to see it being restored instead of being pulled down :)

Lovely 1950s art deco...............
 
I drove past this the other week and it doesn't look like much has changed since about 2 1/2 years ago apart from the tarpaulin round the outside.

I dont think you would notice as the tarpauling trys to prevent you seeing whats happening, i always wonder if there actually doing anything
