Although I don't really live in a particularly rural area, I thought this would be the best place to put this. My first real post, about one of my favourite places so far. :)

Just around the side (far right of the building in the top picture)

Little stable area at the end of what we think was the milking room.

We couldn't really work out what this room/building was..

This was on the floor, if that helps anyone?

On our way out, we noticed this, it only had a door in it, which pictures of are in the folder.

The whole picture set is here. There are pictures of what we suspect is a slaughter room, just so you know. :)


Hope you enjoyed the pictures. :)

Ohh, that's quite interesting information, thanks for passing it on. :)

Watch out what 'daps' you wear when Urbexing lovely.

Haha, that's my other half, she seems happy to endure the nettle stings we get through UrbExing in my area (it's pretty much the worst experience we get here. :p) Generally I wear cargo trousers and a t-shirt. And a jacket depending on the place. :)
 
hiya

Hi,there. I registered specifically to ask you guys about this place. Snooping around on the internet I think I found where it is, is it located at the end of Coppins Lane in Iver, near Slough? Also is it private property/ would I be in trouble if I wanted to take some of my own pictures there?

I'm studying the relationship between "Nature" and "Manmade" articles for a photography project, specifically looking at how things decay and are overtaken by Nature. Being able to shoot a couple of rolls of film at Coppins Farm would be a real godsend seeing how it's in my visinity.

Would really appreciate some help

These sort of questions aren't allowed on the public forum, but I'd suggest sending a private message to the poster of the thread. Your project sounds interesting...just the sort of thing that interests me too...and wish you well with it. Welcome to DP, but please read the forum rules too. :)
 
Lovely pics. Grew up near Slough, so always on the look out for local places!

As for the mystery room, I'd be inclined to agree with it being an abbatoir/slaughterhouse. The tiles on the floor and wall = easy cleaning. All got to happen somewhere!

Really interesting set of pics :)
 
The building appears to be circular and I was wondering whether originally it enclosed a horse gin that was later superseded by a steam or gas engine and was tiled out later for use as an abattoir or similar.The link below gives the general idea of working,they were used in all sorts of different applications.
