This is a report from 28dl I did a while ago. The picture links dont work there now so here it is for your enjoyment...

Lots of things to see at this place and there are still some companys working in some of the buildings.

First thing i came across was this camper van, Dont know if anyone was living in it though!

I came across a Plant room with what appeared to be 3 huge Lancashire boilers still inside, I could not get in so had to take pictures through the window and vents.

Ah memories! Remember wandering round this place numerous times ages ago. Been meaning to go back and still not got round to it! Good set :)
 
Nice report, that place in its prime was one massive site. I used to work there on some automated machinery from late 80's to late 90's. Would luv to get back n take a look at it now, any offers?? :mrgreen:
