Intro
This site has been on our list to explore for quite a while now. Unfortunately when we originally planned to go the trains had a melt down and we could not get a reliable service there. Eventually the train service improved and we headed to the location. Only a few days before our visit a photographer had been caught by the the angry man with a dog himself, also known as, security. This made the entry to site difficult as we could no longer use the normal entry. We had also heard of demolition due to begin next month so we had to go.

The Explore
Once we arrived we eventually got into the building itself. The site was clearly popular with numerous amounts of graffiti. Instantly we could hear the movement of pigeons flying into the building trying to escape us. Our first goal was to climb to the top of the building, although security had cut most of the stairs up, we had to climb. From first looks we could see this building's photo opportunities. On arrival we noticed the offices had been torn down, a sign of the future to come I suppose.
History
Fullers Earthworks, Redhill was one of the three UK sites used for mining Fullers' earth. The Earth had absorbent qualities and was often turned into cat litter, oils, pesticides and sometimes beauty products. The company fell into financial difficulty and this site was closed as a result. The site was then later used to mine the leftover material, then as a waste processing site before being left to the elements.
Now in no apparent order, here are the photos.
After reaching the top we took this time to make the most off the cool breeze and views of the world around.
It was about now we noticed security, we were sure we had been spotted.

We left the site satisfied we'd covered everything after spending about 2 hours in the site.
