Hi all. First picture thread from me so be gentle!

Took the D50 and 10-20mm out with a mate who has similar kit to a disused factory. Hope you like the shots. :

Very nice. What did the factory make?

 

[Woodsy]

Used to make Cellophane. That should give you and idea of where this place is

I love this factory...there's so much left on the site that makes it interesting. Excellent photos, Woodsy.

Oh indeed Foxylady. This was infact my first proper exploration, and when you walk around this place it's hard not to be utterly overwhelmed by the scale of it all.

Thanks for the compliments

Nice one, being a chef i've used probably miles of the stuff, interesting to see where its made. is that your car parked in the warehouse?

 

[Woodsy]

lol, no. my friend and I got there by train. I was very supprised to learn when I was there that Cellophane's core ingredient is infact trees! People commonly get it confused with polyethylene. The difference being that Cellophane has no elastic memory, and so will stay deformed when bent, and is also completely bio degradable!

Cellophane has no elastic memory, and so will stay deformed when bent...

Which also gives it the ability to make you swear a lot when trying to use it!

Great pics! I pass this place every day and keep wondering myself how to get in and explore

 

[Woodsy]

Haha, it must be so tempting!
