typhoo tea factory

May 2024 The Visit I visited this place with @stranton and @Mr Budge. In the past, I have had a few attempts at seeing the neighbouring Burtons Biscuit factory, but I didn't have much luck back then. The old factory has since been demolished, and a new housing estate now stands in its place...

(as of 12/06/23) This isn't a usual explore report but rather a notice for anyone looking to go to the Typhoo Tea Factory in Birmingham. After heading there earlier today, my friends and I discovered that the building is starting to be demolished, with heavy machinery, workers on site, and...

History The Typhoo Tea Factory was founded by John Summer in 1903. The factory was used for tea production from the 1930's, surviving bombing during WW2. Typhoo merged with Schweppes in 1968 and the following year merged with Cadbury to form Cadbury Schweppes. The factory eventually...

I know this has been done on here before but figured i would make it my first post. Although virtually gutted this fairly large factory hold some beautiful graffiti and some interesting items. Closed about 50 years ago from what i can fild the builidng has been left...

We know this place has been done many times, but as we are new starting up, we thought we’d make this our first explore. When we originally got there, we found no way in but we didn’t give up. After wondering around for about half hour, we noticed a couple of homeless guys inside, and after...

n classic Harry style; this forms part of another explore backlog! I visited here in November 2018 with Mookster. It formed part of a little Midland Roadtrip we did that day. We all know what to expect with this place; its pretty pillaged now, access was a doddle and it was full of other...

First stop off of the day of me and @Brewtal's day trip to Brum. The facilities were great, even had on-site parking. History The Typhoo Tea Factory was founded by John Summer in 1903. The factory was used for tea production from the 1930's, surviving bombing during WW2. Typhoo merged with...

Yes I know that this place has been done to death on here, but after many attempts of gaining entry to this place, I finally managed to get in today. After a quick look round, and carefully picking my way through the needles by the door, I found that this place is quite a good explore, and you...

So most people have seen it before, the Typhoo Tea Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham but today was the first time I’ve managed to get into it, and finally! Entry was fairly simple as my Mrs knew a way in from a previous time she’d visited. The inside is fairly trashed, but it’s still lovely to...

So here is a pretty interesting one, we managed to get ourself locked in! So when the day started off we wasn't entirely sure how to get in however after going round the perimiter there was an open gate as the area outside the building is actually a private carpark. Note for later that this...

On Thursday 22nd March I took a trip down to Birmingham mostly to see what range of Derelict properties I could find, but also to find the Typhoo Tea Factory which I had largely anticipated. Passing through the Digbeth area the amount of properties didn't disappoint- the variety was endless...

The History Typhoo Tea Factory, founded by John Summer in 1903, was known as one of Birmingham's most prominent landmarks. The factory was used for tea production from the 1930's, surviving bombing by the Luftwaffe in WW2. Typhoo merged with Schweppes in 1968 and the following year merged with...

I do have a thing for roofs… in fact, once inside most venues I tend to head straight for the roof, and work my way downwards. I love the views… and the fact that I can stand there and watch the world go by underneath. What I like about this roof, was the fact that I seemed to be...

Typhoo is well known to any Midlands explorer worth their salt. Some of us have been trying to get in for getting on for 10 years now so it means a lot to finally see inside. The factory closed as Typhoo in 1978 and part was later used as a clothing wholesaler 'S Rose' which appeared to have...
