This is more a memorial to this site than anything, to document the trip only. Back in June me and some friends had an utterly crap day exploring, with a failed trip to Colindale and a trip to Cane Hill being thwarted by firemen on the site but this little gem made up for it. Sadly this site much to mine and my friends horror was burnt to the ground in its entireity last month, too big a fire for a casual arson
From what I can gather on the internets, the garage used to belong to a Chrysler Group parts dealer, mainly Peugeot and Talbot stuff and suchlike. It appears it closed in 2002/early 2003, a planning application was made for flats on the site in 2006 but refused because of the trees and limited space. The site was made up of 2 houses (both trashed), the main garage building and much to our surprise a maze of corrugated iron and wooden sheds hidden from view, all built precariously on the sloped back garden. To say we expected to find what we saw inside would be a lie.....
