I had a look around this rather nice little engineering place in Menston.
To me it was one of the best locations for urbex photography i've come across, Mainly because the area was so small with everything urbex should be crammed into it.
Basically it was a small lean to shed at the side of the (as yet unexplored) main building.

The sun was out on a beautiful spring day that made the light inside superb!

Anywhere with poison bottles and macabre looking rubber gloves has got to be good.

There is so much more of this site yet to explore.

I for one found it far more interesting and photogenic, than the whole of High Royds put together only a mile up the road.
But that's only my opinion lol :)

Awesome phill.

Perishing gloves at their best I reckon - I was wearing a pair like that only last week...

The red brick is coming up ace in those shots - you definately caught the natural light at just the right time.

Is it me or is that brick chimney held up on two metal girders above the tank thing?

Great report. Well done for finding. :)
