Arrow Birmingham Battery and Metal Company, Selly Oak 01/03/2009

My first proper explore, and we visited this generously covered factory in Birmingham. Visited with inlovewithsound, T, and PP on a sunny sunday afternoon.

It's a shame how little of the building is left, and to see the neglect and damage which has succumb to the place. But then it's also intruiging to think of some of the things which have happened under its' roof past and present.

As soon as you get inside the main road outside feels miles away as you're engrossed by artefacts dating from all over the last century. I loved the atmosphere and peacefulness of walking around and would have been happy to not even touch my camera, and just take it in.

But that'd be no fun would it

It's my first report, so please leave your feedback and thoughts!













































Inspired to check the place out from previous reports including these from bubblehead (http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/...ad.php?t=37177) and dweeb (http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/...ad.php?t=24861)

drove past here the other day heading towards brum, as you know it has all gone now but found it ironic that what once was a beautifull looking building has been replaced with this view.
