Arrow Rover, Longbridge, Flight Shed, - 12/11/06

Today I woke up feeling bored and tired...I made myself get a grip and went over to meet raddog who was bored doing up his house..and so we went for a trip.

We were going to check out a few little things, to document them and it was just a passing comment..."wonder what longbridge is looking like...?"

And so we went for a drive...most of the plant that we explored before has long gone..flattened, however that probably made up around 25% of the site, and we had high hopes...

The past few weeks has been the most mind blowing time for exploring for me EVER..High Royds, St Josephs and now this..

This isnt like they just upped and left one day...its like there should still be people there..its simply stunning...

anyway, here's a few pictures...



































Then we saw this...something very few people will ever see...a real bonus..

A rover which was never released...possibly the saviour of the company...shelved??
