About time I had some new stuff to bring to the explore table! Hat tip to Stuart (who is a member here but I forget his name!) for finding it.
I really can't find much out about this place other than they offered fabrication, component finishing and product assembly services over a 17000m2 site. The company worked on their own projects of which some were valued in terms of multi-millions of pounds so it wasn't a small fry!
The company went into liquidation and the facility closed in 2008, and here's where it gets weird - after closure, part of the site was taken over by a nearby university to house their mechanical engineering department, they too have vacated the premises some time back so now the whole site is empty.
I was having autofocus issues with my camera all day so a few may not be as sharp as I'd like...
It's not an interesting building externally so just the one from me
There is a fair amount of empty office space
It had it's own bar in the far end of the top floor of the site!
Just a few records left....
Huge archive bins full of blueprints and diagrams
There was a great surprise we found at the end of the explore but sadly forum rules mean I can't include it, it's on Flickr though!
