All that history wiped out, i reckon they didn't even bother saving anytihng from inside

At least i've got a Robert Fletcher shirt, tie and baseball cap to remember it by

That is one of the saddest images I’ve seen on this forum, someone PLEASE go get those pretty typewriters

I think the saddest part to see is the rollers for ke

And Jaffa, you may have the shirt but guess who has the last respirator there

Only now seen this. Such a shame with all that lovely equipment inside, will probs end up in landfill

This is a brilliant report, I must have been here half a dozen times but your pictures really do it justice. It looks magnificent! The boiler house was the first building I got into myself and I too, was in awe! Sad to see it completely flattened now... Theres a vid on YT from a member on here walking round the flattened site, seeing all those bits of familiar machinery scattered about the place is a strange feeling. Did you manage to do the Social club round the corner?

I just saw that video then. It is very depressing recognising parts of the site in the state that it’s in. What I am confused about is how that forklift in the mulch room was so intact, that thing was on the fourth or fifth floor if I remember right? They wouldn’t safely bring it down only to cover it with rubble. A tough thing!
I should try get back to see the rest of the structures, especially that boiler house before it’s gone.
