Lucas have been at this site since the 40's (bw5). Check out Lucas Memories website for more details or check my earlier posting for a brief history of this place. The following pics are before and after the pikeys took the site over. Thankfully they've now gone and in less than 3 weeks the police will be taking over the place for training purposes.

That site looks massive, if only there were places like that around here!

What a mess now :( shame really
 
I've seen something similar at a local abandoned hotel. Was such a good explore until the pilkeys arrived. Completely trashed the place. Even left some unpleasant surprises in rooms. Its such a shame they feel the need to do this to places. Might go and check out this place though, looks really interesting. :)
 
Blame the local paper

Pikeys seem to turn up when the local paper runs an article on the place. This place was overrun with the buggers when the Birmingham Mail ran an item about the place being derelict for several years. IDIOTS. The place had been empty for less than 5 months. Denso was still clearing out the shop floor when the pikeys went in.:mad::mad::mad::icon_evilDEATH TO PIKEY SCUM:icon_evil:mad::mad::mad:
 
Must see if I can get over there soon mate. You fancy showing me around? I'd love to do some long exposure stuff with those stairs!!!!:)
 
Pikeys

These must be a rare breed of pikeys they seem to have trashed the place to further extents than normal. great explore like the staircase thats cool.:)
 
I can remember when it was lucas's alternator and starter motor plant before they sold out

used take aluminum castings for the alternators in there twice a week


shame the pikeys have trashed the place mind you given the price of scrap I'm surprised they didnt wreck the place even more.the place I work has had several visits from our caravan dwekking chums as we shift scrap the last time they found the wagons, minus the aluminum tipper bodies and the load of steel swarf on a site that had been used by pikies
 
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH If anyone is looking at this lot and thinking where the hell are the pics, I've just realised that I removed them from me photobucket page. I just assumed that once they were transferred to here they would stay here. Bear with me until I get these probs sorted out. :mad:
All sorted

Who knows

I have no idea what they are supposed to be doing with this place. One moment they say its going down, the next they say its going to be used for police training. To be honest the whole thing is a joke. Any questions?:confused:

Another industrial monster in its winter years. Quite sad, but great pictures thanks guys!.
 
So sad to see it going downhill like that, Great pics and a good find before it was too late ! :)
 
what a wreck now, such thoughtless destruction... :(

idiots... still, good photos, silver lining and all that :)
 
it seems the demo guys are doing a far neater job than the pikeys were.

i cant understand how they get away with it. well i do because the police will go nowhre near them as it breaches their human rights ect. they ought to come down real hard on these people and confiscate there caravans (proceeds of crime ect). that would upset them.
