This one was a bit of a trip back in time. I first stumbled across this place completely by accident two and a half years ago when I first started my job. We give all of our used grain, hops and yeast to a local farmer who collects them after each brew and we drive a van up to the farm to collect the containers on the morning of a brew day. When I first started I was sent to the farm by myself one day. Being Scottish and living in Surrey, I didn't exactly know my way around at the time! I'd been up with someone a few times before so I know roughly where to go. Sod's law, wrong turn, oops! But that's when I first round this place.
I had my first proper visit here in March of this year but there were too many people about and it would have been a very noisy entrance due to the amount of decaying bags of empty cans blocking the doors, hence my chosen name. Fast forward to just recently and I was delivering to a pub near by and I was kept waiting at the bar for a good while and I overheard two toffs speaking about "that wretched house the kids vandalised finally being demolished." As soon as I heard the road name I decided to have a peek one evening. Not my best pics I have to say. We were doing a collaboration brew that day and I was taking some pics with my manual f1.8 lens on and I forgot I was still set to an iso of 800, so they are a bit grainy. I decided to duck out for a while before meeting everyone else at the pub, and to my delight they had started to clear the area prior to demolition so I tip toed straight in. There were cans everywhere so I decided to keep the name I had come up with, even the bath tub was full of them! Sadly my one pic of this was too blurry so I wont bother with it.
It was a bit of a rushed one because it was close to getting dark. I popped back recently to take more pics (better ones!) with my new camera only to find it was been wiped off the face of the earth so figured I would post them anyway.
Thanks for looking!
