dairy

Various photographs taken in the Estonian countryside in the east of Estonia (between Tallinn and Tapa). I have no knowledge of the sites but I believe that they were a Soviet-era dairy, a school, and a saw mill. All sites were walk-ins and are not far from the main road to Tapa (the saw mill...

Saw this on a quick gander on google earth and decided to go with a couple of friends. 2nd abandoned place and it did not disappoint! I was more prepared to do this place (unlike in my first report) so I was able to get higher quality photos with my professional camera A bit of history about...

Development and Early History Originally constructed in the late 1930s by Cow & Gate, a prominent manufacturer of baby formula, the factory's design incorporated elements of the pre-existing mid-19th century atmospheric railway pumping station that previously stood on the site. This adaptive...

This abandoned dairy factory previously operated by Dairy Crest sits just next to the Totnes railway station and the river dart, making it very accessible to get to. This therefore also means that it is about a half-hour drive from Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay etc. Once I arrived there...

Dairycrest, an abandoned milk based factory in Devon has probably been done to death by many on this site but it's the first time in years I found myself in this part of the world! I'd read about a fire here which apparently occurred in March 2023 so I wasn't sure if the site would still be...

Fairly local one for me, and can't pass up such a large site, especially when it's a walk on! Been covered countless times, but it's still clinging on to life. If you're into your Graff, it's more like an art gallery these days. I believe planning permission was obtained for demolition in July...

Hi all, been lurking the forum for a bit, I'm a photographer currently undertaking a project on the urbex world. It's been a ride so far, I've visited a couple locations in Cornwall and Devon and planning to do quite a few more over the next few weeks. This is the Torrington Dairy Crest that...

History Standing forlornly by the River Torridge is the remains of the milk factory that had been there since 1874. It closed in 1993, mainly as a result of milk quotas which had been introduced a decade earlier, and 134 people lost their jobs. For many years it was one of the town’s main...

The History Node court was built for the American businessman Carl Holmes in 1928 by Maurice Chesterton. Entering the building, you walk under an archway with single story wings on either side of it. At the back end of the property there is a two-storey cottage with a timber frame balcony...

Another place from the archive, this large dairy was a bit of an unknown before turning up but we found a way in pretty easily and got through the whole site with ease including the older mill building off to one side which had been turned into bland offices and workshops at some point. The most...

Dairy Crest factory at Torrington Devon November 2020, a very interesting set of buildings abandoned since 1993. Love some the graffiti in there, some real talent. Next time I visit I’ll put the drone up and maybe explore more of the place.

Hi all! Been a good few years since I've written a report of actually explored anywhere so feeling a little bit new, I'm aware that this one has been done to death and I'll be honest, there's not a great deal to see, but it's still a nice little explore and a good one to get back into it with...

This place is well known by every urban explorer in Devon. The dilapidated industrial building standing forlornly by the River Torridge is the remains of a milk factory that had been there since 1874. It closed in 1993, mainly as a result of milk quotas which had been introduced a decade...

This place is genuinely stunning and easily worth a good few hours exploring. Very empty and delapidated but the combination of retro architecture, amazing graffiti and a few relics of days when it was operational made this a really intriguing spot. History The factory was founded by Robert...

Torrington Creamery: History: The factory was founded in 1874 by Robert Sandford, the factory was initially built for the purpose of exporting dairy products to towns and cities as far away as London, In 1932 the building was sold to Cow and Gate and expanded significantly due to damages from...
