Browns of Wem is a manufacturer of pre-fab buildings located near the Shropshire town of, you guessed it, Wem. The company is very much still an ongoing active one, however they have a couple of interesting things abandoned next to their facility.

The first of the few buildings is an old maintenance shed, which I'm only partially sure was definitely owned by them - it had stuff from their factory inside it, however part of it looked more like a general mechanics place than a dedicated factory-related building. It is surrounded by old Browns of Wem trailers though so who knows. Inside is a lovely decayed dirty workshop filled with rusty machinery and other mechanical things - one of my favourite sort of places to shoot. It's been disused for some considerable time and the roof is currently being held up by two large planks of wood.

The other empty part is one of their 1960s Cedar Bungalows, an old show home which is rammed full of all sorts of brilliant old tat to poke around at. It's all fairly random, with one room absolutely stuffed full of paperwork, another room with a multitude of fire hoses in it and another room with a whole bunch of outdated electronics, among many other things. It was absolutely stiflingly hot in this building as the only ventilation came from the small way in and out, so although I could have sat for a good hour or so rummaging through things the oppressive heat made me bail out pretty quickly.

Yeah it's been on here a couple of times. The business is very much an active ongoing concern but these parts have been empty a long time.
