we'd been eying this site up for some time but there was always on site security as the hardstanding to one side of the main factory complex was being used as storage for light plant, mini diggers, dump trucks and the like.

The Dairies have been derelict since October 2001 and large parts of the site have been demolished and to be honest there wasn't a lot left.
