Wheeler's Scrap Yard, King Edward Quay, Colchester -September, 2008

Before I went to the Bonded Warehouse a bit further to the east, I has a crafty peek at the old Scrap Yard, which you'll see is pretty must opposite the old Lighthouse Ship. I'd had me eye on this place -in particular the old House and Workshop, for years, but it had been sealed-up tight until recently. It's nice too see that the old Quayside beginning to be done-up, with some funky looking lighting etc.

On with the pics..............

Wow didnt know that place was abandoned, nice look inside the buildings, i love that wooden cable reel :O the workshop looks a tip though :(
 
Nice little explore there. I drive past it every day, never realised it was abandoned.

Have you tried the warehouse at the other end of the quay? Looks good, but I could never find a way in.

If ya mean the one with the tower, I had a look around the Warehouse bolted onto the side, but access to the tower has never been possibel (well I haven't found a safe way in anyways!)
