Hogg Lab Supplies (Birmingham) 2011

As I was wandering about the area near Sloane House, I spotted this really interesting looking building.

Whilst looking around inside I discovered that it had become a squatters paradise. The bottom floor looked as if it had been used for storage of chemicals and the upper floor was now being used as accomodation.

The building was pretty much empty beside a few objects lying around.

Interesting, I seem to remember we had a lot of Hogg supplies and equipment in the labs at school. I have to say, the place looks pretty unpleasant (pic 5!) to say the least, did you get any exteriors?

I didn't, sorry.
The smell was so bad i just had to leave asap.
If you search for Sloane Street on google street view then you will find it opposite Sloane House

Aww that’s sad to see. I worked at Hoggs , in the warehouse, full time, early to mid ‘80’s. Have many memories of the place and staff
