shredded wheat

A few things to say, this was my first time exploring so sorry if my reports not spot on, I’m very new to all of this, Not much to add as this site has been well explored but, a few updates to the state it’s in, I genuinely have no clue what we were breathing in, very damp smell just lingering...

History I'm not adding anything; this place is already well documented. The Explore I'd been trying to access this building for some time. I'd never had issue with the fence but the building had been well secured and cameras manned. Previous attempts attracted people shouting at me over the...

History of the building: It was designed by architect Louis de Soissons to encourage companies to establish factories in the industrial areas of garden cities. The design of the Welwyn Garden City factory was inspired by an existing one in Niagara Falls, USA, also operated by the Shredded Wheat...

History Henry Perky invented the product we know today as 'Shredded Wheat.' After a while of selling his product, the formed a company called 'The Cereal Machine Company.' When building the Welwyn Garden City site, they decided to stick to the name 'The Shredded Wheat Company.' This site was...

On in late December I decided to make a visit to the massive shredded wheat factory, joined with a good friend of mine who goes by the name ExplorerX on most websites. When we arrived there were workmen on the roof with what appeared to be welding torch of some description preparing the office...

A pretty empty shell with not much to see to be honest. The most interesting thing about this visit was the PIR sensors and cameras inside the building. Wasn't long before we had security hot on our tails. They were often calling to us from a few yards away. I haven't explored a place in these...

Designed in 1925 by architect Louis de Soissons the concrete and glass building had been making cereals since 1926. The building was given a grade II listed status in 1981. one of the most striking features is the large tubular building at one end of the site. The Factory closed its doors for...

I've visited this place three times now, the first two times back in 2009. Most of the insides of the factory have since been stripped out so it's mainly just a large empty space these days but there still a few nice details about. It's funny, I guess, looking back how I missed them all the...

Visited with Els Been meaning to do this one for quite sometime now. About 4 years. Sadly its stripped, wrecked, ruined and looking very sad for itself. Here is a brief history courtesy of Wikipedia Peely paint Heaven! More at...

A local one to me, a couple of my mates used to work here. It’s quite sad to see the state this building has got in. As I'm sure some of you are well aware this site has caused quite a lot of controversy recently, with a certain Trog becoming a bit of a local media star! After seeing this I...

Ok, this is on the web as a blog post - but a blog on a commercial companies website - so sort of 'in the news' Urban Explorers in the News - www.palladiumboots.co.uk WTF - it describes 28dayslater as 'influential', is scathing of the press "stirring up a bit of hysteria" and is very...

The former Shredded Wheat factory in Welwyn was abit of a last minute decision and it seems we rattled a few cages by exploring this site. A week or so after the explore Skeleton Key posted up his photos and we started hearing rumours claiming that the police had turned up just after we'd left...

Splored with Bonfire Queen ,Troglodyte & Peaches ;) Future approved plans for the location...

Shredded Wheat is a breakfast cereal made from whole wheat. It comes in two sizes, bite sized (3/4 in x 1 in), and normal size, which are sometimes broken into small pieces before milk is added. Reading through an old newspaper article written in 2005 it would seem Cereal Partners wanted to...
