Im struggling to find exactly how long this site has been derelict for, but it is pretty much as long as I can remember. Originally It belonged to John Ellis & sons who were a lime /cement manufacturer & distributor in the 19th century. Later in its life it was used by Watson Petroleum wholesale petrol & gas oil supplier that are still trading.

The foot prints aren't mine, so it has seen other visitors very recently.

There was surprisingly little tagging in there.

The last two are in the workshop area again, a good section of the roof has collapsed & so has
the suspended ceiling. Im still surprised that there weren't any pigeons in there!
Thanks for looking.
