sugar factory

Introduction Me and @JakeV50 had a small pump house pinned near to the Cantley Sugar Factory site so decided to have a look for it. Turns out, it wasn’t there anymore but along the way, we found a couple of nice little pump houses. Information & History Cantley Sugar Factory is a large...

The sugar factory was built in the mid-nineteenth century. The characteristic factory complex is one of the oldest in the region and one of the few preserved to this day. Over the years, it has been modernized and expanded many times. The plant closed in the 1980s. Full set (26 pics): LINK

Visited with a non-member This has been a long time coming. As I say, Taiwan has an absolute abundance of sugar factories and this is a prime example, although unlike most others this is fully derelict and rotting. Outside there are a couple of locos on display in the public area as seen in the...

First of all apologies for the delay in dealing with this, but this is the first report I've written since the birth of my daughter and so since then exploring has taken a back seat and so have editing photos and writing reports! I'm far busier than before, but I won't stop exploring ever. So...

Sugar Factory Located on what is now seemingly wasteland surrounded by vegetation lies an industrial artefact in this Italian town which caught our attention. Like a lot of European locations they are often given a nickname which makes any sort of research initially difficult with this one...

This empty huge hulk was an appropriate detour from the family holiday in the South of Spain. I spotted it on a drive to a regular 'ol tourist spot and made a location note in my head for a play on a spare evening. Nothing left inside this huge empty monolith. But it ticked the alternative...

Found this awesome sugar refinery by chance as I drove through this town on holiday. Stopped to take a couple of photos over the wall then noticed a gap in the fence round the side and went straight in. The whole time there were dogs barking nearby, although I couldn't see where they were, and...

Visited with Kent-Urbex. Kent-Urbex had been interested in this place for ages, but I wasn't aware of it. I randomly clocked it from the road on Wednesday, en route to the Arsenal v Barca game. On Friday I got a call from K-U asking me if I wanted to do it, and off we went. It struck me as...

The large silo of Tate & Lyle on the Huskisson Dock in Liverpool has had a number of reports on this site so far, and it's history has been well discussed. However, the silo was not the target of our most recent amble to the docklands. It was the large newer site that stands alongside the silo...

Sixxfingers & Tims Well just got back after being pestered by Tims, telling me how big and how good this site was... He was fucking right! Its huge and really impressive... and of course it goes without saying - a fantastic explore!!! (Thanks again for keeping on at me mate ;) ) If your up...
