Hands up who likes Chocolate? Actually I don't.. but anyway what's cooler than a derelict chocolate factory that still has that whiff of coco in many parts of it?
Elizabeth Shaw was the final name for the factory located in the Greenbank part of Bristol. It had had many names over the years and chances are if you are of a certain age you'll have eaten many a sweet snack that originated from this place. The factory closed in 2006 and Rookinella/Sinnerman smashed out an epic repot/visit in 2007 which even got picked up in the local paper (when papers and UE wasn't really a thing). It was still fully loaded with production line machines as if it was ready to work the following day. After that it security stepped up but rather sketchy security at that as the place was absolutely raped of every last bit of copper/metal. Basically if there was any value it was weighed in. It was by accident that we rocked up here this day, can't say I knew much about it. A good little explore, felt much like a woolen mill in places. It was sporadically used by BBC Casualty for several episodes (before filming fucked off to Cardiff) - they used to portray it as the metal health unit. Naturally one episode someone fell through the floor to their near death below, you could still see evidence of the room/area they used when we went. Visited with Scotty and his non 28DL mate.
