Odebrecht / SLP was used for making sections for oil rigs, and as such has some seriously heavy industry in there, including a few gantry cranes that can roll the length of this huge site. Plenty of stuff laying about from giant nuts and bolts to old paperwork, as well as the aforementioned cranes to climb and take pics from. combine this with the superb light in there and this really is worth an explore.
Its located right in the heart of the St Hilda's estate in Middlesbrough which is decidedly rough, so you might want to park well away from the site and wander down into it for the safety of your car.
There is a bit of climbing required at this site, so non-climbing members might want to give this one a miss.
There is also the office building off to the right of the compound. I personally gave this a miss as it was trashed to all hell and was running on limited time.
Gloves / masks are a good idea if you intend to climb any of the gantries, as most of them are covered in pigeon dirt, but other than that standard kit should suffice.
