We have been watching this one for a long time and finally gained access!
Premier Screw & Repetition was founded in 1921 and went bust a few years ago. Some personal interest in this one for me as my mum worked there for a while, and my dad was there for most of his working life. Unfortunately there has been some damage, but overall its a fantastic place. There is stacks of paperwork, furniture, and computers just left everywhere.

Were a few of these clocks about, they were used to time how long parts needed to be on the machines.

The canteen, we have some photos of this in the 70's, will post them up when i've scanned them!
 
It's always good to explore a location that has a family connection. I take it from the name that they made screws and fastenings? was the firm ever a part of GKN?

Looks like an interesting place in any case.

nice work mate.
love seeing the old paperwork.
thought you where camping tonight?
 
Cheers people. No staying out yet, no ones ready yet plus ive bust my camera!
 
very nice photos as foxy said shame its trashed, this may seem a daft question but why dont these places give the old booklets and paper work to a museum im sure they would be better off there than left to go in a skip and be lost forever
 
Excellent pics Goldie, its such a shame everything in the offices are just flung about. Love seeing the difference in the old pic when the main room was working, and again when it had closed. Looks like a very large place.

Nice family connection to the place.

Excellent report Goldie.

Sadly another piece of Britains manufacturing history gone,no doubt to be demolished and replaced by matchbox houses:mad::mad:.

A great find there,love the nostalgic shots especialy the old documents and cheque book as well as the picture of the factory when it was working
I would spend days in there going through that lot:lol::lol:

The documents and books left behind were interesting. Yesterday some books dating from 1906 and 1909 were found!
 
Can't be 100%, but looks like theres been a fire there late this evening :( Was shown a photo which showed the road cordoned off and fire engines and police cars outside. Hope no one was trapped inside, unless they started the fire that is!
 
I saw the fire, it was behind the ATS factory, is this where premier screw is?
the fire brigade had a cherrypicker to put the fire out
