Factory in Wandsworth, London. December 2008

I came across this place ages ago, but only now have I finally got around to doing a full explore. It's not the most interesting place in the world, being composed mainly of large empty rooms, but it nevertheless has a certain charm that is always found in buildings of this age, whatever the purpose. If anyone knows anything about the history of the place and what it was used for, I would be interested.

Anyway, on with the pictures:







Evidence of rather naughty activities:

In the basement. Sorry the pictures are so bad. It's a large place, and my torch was too dim to lightpaint it properly.



The offices. I was surprised to find a number of foxes living here. I wouldn't have thought that they'd be good at climbing the stairs.




Now this is the strangest thing in the entire place. Behind the doors of what looked like a electrical cupboard around the side of the place is this room. What on earth is this stuff doing here? I can't imagine how it was any use - surely there was no power?


Oh, here's a Flashearth link. As you can see, it's a big place.

Nice find. Thanks for the photos.

Maybe from the source that powered the factory?
Interesting looking building. I like the conveyor belt and other machinery remains. Nice find.

Interesting, the place looks familiar

It looks familiar to me too and I haven't been to that part of London! My brain hurts now!

It's well f***ed that place. I'm quite shocked at the naughty stuff too - I've never come across so much before.
I like the first pic. Knackered building with brand new in the background. Class!

Love the pics. This place looks fascinating. Particularly like the conveyor belts. Looks like there's been people staying there - any sign of current residents?

I don't think so. Access was easy a few months ago, but the council have sealed off a lot of it. I only got in by using my bicycle to climb over. Not the sort of thing that is welcoming to squatters.

Amazing pics !

Very moody, I can imagine some horror being filmed in there, perhaps another saw ?

That picture of the drugs is shocking, gives me mixed emotions of disgust and also pity for the poor soul that shot that filth up in a place like that.

Well done guys !
