Keeping this location under wraps as it was quite good - so if you know where it is keep it to yourself!

Probably the best explore I've been on to date. I even got to meet quite possibly the nicest metal thieves you could encounter :)

Thanks for looking!
 
Nice one mate:), looks like a lot of the stuff has gone since we did it. Its a entertaining place to see but in some respects you need a strong stomach. Some information that might interest you, the place was held in reserve in case another BSE or foot and mouth outbreak. Later when they started removing bits I think about 2007/8.

good to see it done again :)
 
Pincheck;287137 Some information that might interest you said:
Interesting to see these facts, but is Scotland different to the rest of the UK regarding Foot and Mouth, i.e. infected cattle can be transported to a licensed slaughter house? There can be no doubt that this place was one of the designated slaughter houses for cattle infected with BSE, but the F & M notification is new to me. A live stock farmer in England, who 's herd tested positive for Foot and Mouth, watched as the herd was slaughtered on the land they grazed on and then burnt in a huge pyre, the ashes being buried. It is not a sight I would wish on anyone.

Don't know mate, I just know what I heard. I know for a fact when we did it the lines still worked the pic still booted up to win 98 and the cattle and sheep head cutting saw and piston cutter where still powered. That and there was fresh yoghurt in the staff fridge, not sure if it is still owned by the Irish group Abp.
 
Pincheck, no electricity now - the metal fairies saw to that, and it is quite interesting about it still being used up until 2007/8. In one photo I have it would appear that the fire extinguishers were last serviced in 2010, I don't know but they were also serviced in 2009.
 
Nice one, looks a good sized explore too.
The Boning hall wins tho, titter! :p
Cheers for sharing great photos :)

Despite the collapsed fences, as of the last time I went past I'm sure there were groundworks guys with mowers or strimmers tidying up out the front. It'll be redeveloped eventually, like the steel fabricators across the road..
 
the cartoon mask just reminisces me of a chuckle worthy meme type pic about the distict lack of "take only photos" rule of this here urbex
