Hi guys,

I've been thinking about this one for a while now..... being from bury st edmunds, for as long as i can remember this place has been abandoned but always been fenced off and had always had live businesses surrounding it so access had never been perfect...... currently as we speak the old businesses have been demolished and the typically houses are being built on the old grounds which has opened up some access points and made it a bit easier to scout.

i Guess my question is... has anyone had the pleasure of exploring this building at all....? as i have said before this building has been closed for years and years.... well before i got into exploring... search results don't seem to bring up anything maybe one of you has had a look but not reported it...?

I recently went and had a look... the easiest way to get to the building is to walk of the edge of the platform at bury st Edmunds train station although i hopped the fence next to the building site for a mooch .... all entrances that i could see have been bricked up, its also worth noting the is a camera around the back of the building although its not directed on the mill , but directed of the construction machinery. I need to go back and try get around the otherside to see if the is any way in but i havent found the time lately.... maybe if no body from here has been in it might give me the kick up the backside to try again,

I'm pretty scared its going to be torn down at any second i have seen loads of applications to demolish it but none really seem to come to fruition, but now the housing development has started it makes me think its next!

Yeh I did it years ago. It's fairly empty. At the time part of it was being used by said buisnesses for storage and it was alarmed in that part. Pretty typical old empty matlings/mill inside but probably worth another look now the other places down there have gone.
