It was a sunny day, and we were in the Wolverhampton area so decided to give Featherstone a visit. Together with locash we spent a couple of hours on site wandering around. Here are the photos...

Royal Ordnance Factory Featherstone was filling factory No.17, covering just over 64 hectares, the factory used to specialise in filling various munitions, including, Bombs, Shells, Smoke and Cartridges.

It served a major role in WWII but since then has remained derelict, at some point BAE Systems took over the site and kept the majority of the buildings but sold off 13 hectares to HMP Service who have now constructed a prison on the remains of certain parts of the site.

At present the remaining site is up for disposal and planning permission has been sought to transform the site into a housing estate.

The entire site is almost completely gutted, apart from a few relics lying around hinting at its' past.

We had a good long wander around, but came to the conclusion that we'd missed its' prime. Which is a shame, I would have loved to have seen how it looked in pristine condition.
 
It might not be in it's prime but it looks like you had a good explore. Nice one guys
