I noticed this place Google maps while checking out a pillbox nearby I thought it was an old sewage works. Then while checking out the pillbox , I could see this large concrete tower that looked like a hopper. Curiosity got the better and I walked on along the towpath to see if I could get a closer shot. Well would you know it the fence was down in one place and it was rude not to pay a visit, I don't have a clue as to what it is I can only think it was the old paper mill. These are a few of the photo's I took round the place.
First view of the place.
One of the upright pipe support bases.
Dam big hopper.
Part of the site.
Some of the overhead pipes.
Don't have a clue what this is.
More pipes.
Even more in the trees.
Think there could be a bit missing here.
Even the portacabin's been nicked.
Big blue hopper.
Tower in the trees and no I did not climb it, I may be old but not stupid.
Years of built up crud.
Did climb up on this though.
Drive motors.
Down one of the pipes.
Few more pipes for good measure.
View across to the hopper.
Across the mixer.
A few handles.
And we end with a sluce gate.
Thats the lot, might be worth a return some time in the winter if it is still there and there are more photos on Flickr and there is also my Blog http://spuduka.blogspot.co.uk/
