Realstone works, Via Gelia, Derbyshire March 09
These are situated next to the road from Cromford to Bonsall in Derbyshire (don't know the name of the road, sorry) Access is easy, you can just just drive in but this did pose some issues, I will explain later...
The view from where we parked
H.M.S. Explorer on the Weighbridge
The largest building, in great condition, as if everyone just left, they probably did.
Lime Mixing Tank
Old Tank Stand (with artistic focussing :yes
Ok, I said I will tell you more about what happened: When we drove in, there were a load of chavvy types making a lot of banging sounds, we were naturally cautious, as we were walking round, they ambushed us, we were in the larger building, and they jumped through the doors screaming. There were 8 of them and two of us, and we both had expensive cameras (and I had a pickaxe handle) we explained we were just taking photos and meant no harm and they were quite friendly, they were apparently photographing their car and we could go and look at it if we wanted. we went to the building in which their car was situated, and the stink of weed was overpowering and there was a burst water pipe, when we went out, they were eying up our car and throwing stones at the buildings. They didn't hurt us or nick our cameras, only because they were high!
Mixing Tank
"The Hotbox" (The building full of ganja smoke)
???
My quest for smashed toilets continues
