Anyone remember this post from a few months ago, a bit of a fake report with some images stolen from the internet about the Royal Mail Depot in Watford.

[ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=23393[/ame]


It was pitted fairly quickly, but it caught my attention.

I visited a while ago with Headflux but didnt really get anywhere. But I visited again recently with Steve2109 and got a bit further.

The site is huge, and it feels like we've only seen about 20%, if that. This report covers the exterior, the garage/maintenance area and a few other bits. The main area still eludes me, but I'll keep visiting... one day it wont :lol: It is VERY secure. Windows boarded both sides of the glass, exterior doors chained and padlocked and even when inside the interior doors are all chained and padlocked too, seems like something interesting being hidden away??

More info, and plans for the future of this site (Morrisons) can be seen here (along with the original photos from the fake post earlier)...

This part is the garage/maintenance (the rest of the place was inaccessible so far)

Anyone else fancy a look there?

Thanks for looking :)
 
Steve, that 3rd pic with the bikes, I missed that, where was it? :-/
 
It was to the side of the large plant room I went in ! I thought you had been in there as well
 
Well done for getting in and doing a report, the pair of you !!

There still looks like there is plenty to see. I will have to add this one to the list too and is not a million miles away. My local one got demolished straight away and I never got a chance to have a go.
 
Nice work guys good set of images....I remember the look on OMJ's face first time he tried this place lol....Steve you are missing a pic :)

Whats one, the one of you trying to get in? I couldn't really include you in the 'I visited with....' bit :p
 
Lol was aimed at Steve2109 and his missing images of him with his eyes covered :)

Didn't get one P7, a lot of my photos were poor and i forgot to get the normal eyes covered shot !! must be because my daughter was not with me...
 
Wow that place is massive. Nice work.
It certainly was. Few of us postal staff saw much if it except for the section where we worked. It was a pain for us delivery staff that our bit was located 100 metres or so from the loading dock. A lot of space was occupied by the "IMPs" and other sorting apparatus. It wasn't a very nice environment to work in. Noisy and not very well lit.

Always interesting to hear from former workers of a place, thanks for sharing
