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...

Hello! This is my first time posting and I just wanted to share my experience with the Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory in Bristol. First things first, it is still standing (Only just) although it is in the process of being demolished and turned into housing. Not that it's a boring visit by no...

In response to the increasing demand for delicious treats made with chocolate, a factory was purpose built in 1901 – 1902 to manufacture confectionary products. It was built on fields near the city centre of Bristol, in-between the Greenbank cemetery and the railway line. The first engine used...

Explored with Rigsby. After the usual getting in thing, and dodging the land pirates, we pretty much had a free run of the place, ever mindful of their potential presence and threat though. The main shop floors were stripped, no, they were wrecked, but it was still interesting enough...

This site, now mostly stripped of equipment saw over 100 years of chocolate production until its closure in 2006. I was inspired to visit this place after seeing some cracking existing reports on here. Though a lot of stuff has been removed it seems there's still lots to see here. I took many...

This place is great! Originally Packers Chocolates, the factory became Elizabeth Shaw, but I saw evidence of Goodies, Terrys, Cadburys and Lindt brands being produced here... The Factory is a stunning building with glazed loading bays, which house elevated walkways to join the buildings...

Hey guys, I visited the Elizabeth Fry chocolate factory with a good friend of mine DjJudas21 this weekend (not yet a registered user). This report is a combination of both of our photos, (the bracketed ones are by him). This place has to be one of the best sites I’ve ever visited, due to...

My first visit there with Sinnerman and Dreamworx. Security is on site and the building is quite bricked up. There are what looks to be camera and PIR'S recently installed. Working in a group got us in the place. Saw most of the factory in about 4-5 hours enjoyed a snack with a good view on the...

No joke! This is the Longbridge of chocolate factories! Visited with Sinnerman, this was probably one of the funniest and wierdest explores I've ever done! I met Sinnerman outside a graveyard and we made our way to the entrance point and started looking around to see a way into the main...

Thanks to Markr for the lead and Mr Loft for doing the first recce (I've PM'd him about access) I've stuck this in RU for now because all the machinery is still there and I only covered about a 1/4 of it before my torch ran out and I couldn't take any more photos. A really stupidly...
