Nastech (formerly Torrington Bearings) Coventry, April 09

I saw a report for this place on 28DL and as it is literaly only 5 minutes from my house I thought it would be rude not to pop in for a nosey.

Nastech manufactured steering colums for the automotive industry, previously it was Torrington bearings.

I have worked in here myself during the nineties as a contractor and a couple of lads I work with now used to be employed there.

It shut down around 2000 / 2001 and has been empty ever since.

It is quite dark inside as a lot of the windows have been bricked up (they were done before it closed as they used to leak pretty bad).

There is not a lot left inside and it has been heavily trashed. The basement is flooded although it was flooded before it shut down.

Not a bad explore although I will pop back again for more pics as I didn't have a lot of time when I visited

Anyway here are some pics





Reception




Switch room








Upstairs offices


Factory floor


Flooded basement

Nice pics. I've driven past it many times. Application to pull it down and build a cash and carry i think.

Hi,

I paid this place another visit and took a few more pics.
