Abandoned Supermarket Garden Centre Kettering

[BakesFinds]

Found this by chance by going for a walk, wasn't sure it was a supermarket or garden centre!!! Only when I got home found out more about the site. It turns out it was Co-op garden centre didn't know they existed!!! It was closed in summer 2010 when Asda purchased the site from Co-op and decided they didn't want the garden centre part, not been able to sell so has been left and sadly damaged.

I enjoyed the site there are some interesting items if you take the time to look. With it being December made me laugh to find a Christmas Tree netting machine, never found one of those before!!!! In one of the pictures you will see an old metal bin which has a chain around it which is doubled padlocked it is heavy no idea what is in!!! It did in parts feel like you were in a Zombie movie especially the offices which are pitch black, did like the paint starting to blister.

Very easy there is homemade gate in the fence to the right.

there was a planning application recently to change it into a gymnasium but think that's fell through and so for sale again.
