Visited this old dye and paint factory a couple of times now and thought i should post some photos (i have lots to choose from), so here goes.

Unfortunately I don't really know any history about this place. It is due for demolition soon and it's sister factory in hunslet is nearly demo'd.

Interesting explore and nice pics, doubter.
Had a quick google and found this website about Yorkshire industry, including a little bit about Yorkshire Chemicals.

Thanks for that Foxylady

YCL is a great explore, we did it on 2 occasion, were there for at least 3 hours each time and still didn't do the admin building fully.

Is this still standing? I thought YCL Kirkstall got demolished with the Hunslet one..

Doubter · Feb 21, 2008

The kirkstall site is still standing. I'm guessing they'll start work demolishing it when they've finished the hunslet site so if you want to visit then do it soon before it goes.

TigerTails · Feb 21, 2008

Ah, great! I'll try to get there soon. Loving the first pic, btw!

Great pics, the colours are fantastic, shame there leaving the clock even though it cant tell the time

Great looking location! The pictures are good to, particularly the first one.

It's not a clock in the traditional sense of one. I'd guess it's more of an indicator as to when whatever materials are being dried started their drying process.

Still looks good though. :mrgreen:

Fair enough, though I was refuring to its lack of hands :lol:

but cheers for the extra info
