Odebrecht-SLP Engineering, Middlesborough

This place was an offshore engineering works making components for oil rigs and stuff up until about 2002. Real heavy engineering stuff. Its now owned by Able UK (best known for the Hartlepool Ghost Ships) who plan to turn the place into marine structure dismantling site. So it will end up ripping up the sort of things it built in the first place, which is a bit ironic.

On with the pictures

Presumably this was written when the redundancy notices went out...

Excellent pics, Cerberus. Love the broken window one with the different kinds of glass...well neat!
Don't think much of someone's idea of a pin-up, though!
Nice explore.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting history too. Big ol' overhead cranes too!
