I have no idea what this factory did , what it was called or a darned thing
about it to be honest.

It is well and truly fubar'd but as you will know, dear readers, I quite like
my sites fooked with almost no limit to the amount a place can be fooked
and I'll still get something out of the place. It is also, druggie central with only St. Cyprians in Liverpool and an old
nurses quarters building in cheadle matching it for amount of needles
at a site I have visited.

I had company ...twice over. First time I had not been on
site long when I heard at least three separate voices from below ... great I thought.
I contemplated.. should I just carry on, should I GTFO to be on safe side.

I decided on a half way house and started collapsing my tripod and started heading
vaguely to my entry point ready to leave. I didn't rush and thought I'd see if they came
within sight in which case I would have left .. I saw nothing so waited a little
while longer before deciding "fuck it" and went to the furthest away part of
the site and carried on. i did not see or hear them again.

Then a while later a guy wandered in and started to walk straight towards
me but on seeing me stopped dead in his tracks - I looked at him for around
a second or two and then just ignored him and carried on...he turned and left.

I was very lucky with the day - was a lovely day with a lovely quality of light.
Enough waffle and on with the graphical representations.

I really rather like this place :)

Thanks for looking​
 
The title is very apt. Very little there but the pictures are uber sharp. I like this wide shot.

Interesting and contrary to popular belief you really can polish a turd.
 
Some awesome photos there mate, shame about the needles scattered about the place. Not a big fan of graffiti usually, but some of that stuff is pretty damn good!

Thanks for the share! :D
 
welcome and I used to feel same way re graf but I now make a cear distinction - anything that has ant artistic intent and does OK or better I don't even call graf anymore it's street art to me whereas squiggles and mere tagging is shit
 
just up the road from me


Us too Keith. I am far from certain but I have an idea it's the old Weatherproof Windows factory... any offers?

Amen to that. If you appreciate real "urban art" there are two incomparable sites to visit, one in Sheffield - the Yorkshire Waterworks pumping house, and the other near Berlin - Heilstatten Grabowsee.

lovin the graffiti here, ok some is pure crap, but the rest makes up for it, love the colours you captured too, great pics :)
 
Nice photo's! I'm sure I've seen this place before somewhere? Maybe on another forum. :)

Nicely summed up,I could not have put it better if I had tried:):lol:

That is one massive place and looks like it covers some ground,its a wonder the match box house building brigade havent nicked the land for another one of their crappy projects.

Pleased to hear you carried on despite the "inhabitants".

Captured its lonely desolate presence well,good pics.
