History

There's not much history on this place. It was originally Boulton and Paul, which later became a part of the Jeld-wen group. Later in it's life it was used for training, offices and storage.

We never meant to do this

With Miss Mayhem returning, following a long period of ill health, it was only right we dragged her down a drain
We were looking at a few bits and bobs in pork pie land, which became dead ends, much like the town. On our way back to UrbanCaving's drainmobile, following a futile journey along a brook that felt like a pilgrimage. I spotted this and remembered that myself, The Wombat, AuntieKnickers and The Stig had looked at this a few months back, and felt it wasn't worth it. (Plus the fact that we had already pissed off Mrs Wombat, making her wait any longer would've put our lives at risk) Anyway, we looked at it, had a fag, then thought 'fuck it', might as well.
Once in, it was relaxed. I did have a nervy moment when MM & UC left me on my own to do a page 3 (think they're fed up of seeing my bare ass), and I couldn't find them afterwards. Then while I had a fag near the access point, a car pulled up outside for a few minutes(This is on a quiet, empty street). MM & UC suddenly appeared at that point and our mystery driver departed.
Interesting to do a derp in waders , and great to have MM back on board.

Cheers for Looking

 
Sounds like a fun group you've got into, did you have a Buzz around the workshop on the bike? I enjoyed it, Thanks
 
Worth mentioning that this was Boulton & Paul Joinery, and like you say it became Jeld-Wen - it was a manufacturing joinery factory that made staircases, windows and doors.
