TH IS SITE CONTAINS ASBESTOS It's a fairly destroyed site with a main warehouse building and an area I assume was used for admin but it's in such a state of disrepair I could only guess from the layout These first few images are of the leftmost section of the building and the amount...

The Marley Works grew into a massive manufacturing hub producing plastic building products, drainage pipes, and guttering. The Marley Tile Company began after World War I when a shortage of traditional clay tiles prompted Aisher to use a simple Winget press to make concrete tiles. He named the...

I have fond memories of this place from the 1990's; it supplied the electronic components not available at Maplins; VCR and car radio spares, and the employees were time served bench engineers who were happy to advise relevant information. But then sadly, Wizard Distributors moved and vanished...

I've finally decided too come back and do my 2nd ever report, there are a couple reports about this site but considering I've visited it about 10 times now and there hasn't been a report in a couple years I figured I would post some updated pics and info and hopefully some stuff that hasnt been...

An exciting project getting an official viewing around the 1880s mill on Minshull/Bloom Street, which is currently undergoing a major redevelopment after many years of decay. The lower floors were in use until 2014 with the Essential nightclub, while some of the upper floors have been untouched...

Introduction After seeing @TalkingMask's fantastic film images of this place, I wanted to check it out for myself as I quite like these large empty industrial spaces. Visited with @JakeV50 on a recent trip to the Sheffield area. Not to be confused with the other Record Tools site closer to the...

Now this place was surprisingly nice for what it was, the scale of the warehouses and the bits left was really impressive even some of the tagging was pretty cool . Does seem to be what they did left is what they couldn't take/sell. One of them places where its probably more impressive in person...

This place was fairly low down on my list of map markers. I didn't feel like it was good enough for a sole visit but after failing on another site, this one was along my homeward route so figured I'd pop in to have a look. History There isn't too much to say about this place. It was built in...

Bowmans Mill Complete chance drive by this place & its absolutely wrecked but strangely I still got some decent shots here. With a heritage in milling dating back to 1857,Bowmans diversified successfully into the ingredients market in the early 1990s. The business counts majorblue chip...

This was just up the road from the diecasting factory, this time we gained access by squeezing through a mangled window grate. It seemed that the building had multiple uses, there were some offices that were used by a company called DAKP, the garage was used by a 4x4 dealer, and the warehouse...

A permission visit from years ago which I never got round to posting. Before the development of the electric motor, machinery in port cities was often powered by pressurised water. This was the Victorian equivalent of electricity, with hydraulic mains serving factories or equipment on the...

Hello again, Part two of the Solk furniture site. This half of the site is mostly warehouses and storage however there is also a room at the back of the site where it looks like some locals hang out and get up to no good. As you'll see in the photos, getting up to the second level above the...
