Report - Car Factory, Dover. March, 2020

[Urban Ginger Hog]

A location I have walked round many times, and watched it fall ever more so to ruin. I wanted to return as all my old photos of this place had been lost when my files were wiped!! Totally forgot to bring my tripod so shots aren't great but give an idea of what this old factory would have looked like back in the day. I struggled to find any history other than it was originally a Fiat distribution and stores depot. Surprisingly the owners have left it for many years to simply rot.

Hope the photo's make up for the limited report.

I use a Nikon D3200 and have got into the habit of putting all my shots onto my phone as opposed to a laptop, etc. Great as and when you want to refer or look back through them but a sod when you break break your phone and anything saved to the phone is lost! Last I heard the owner couldn't get planning permission so god knows what they will do with it now.

I always think the same thing, such a waste of what could make a great youth club. Which skeleton man, there's so much graffiti there?

I use a 3400D Nikon so very similar. I use external passport drive, explores are really easy to find as every file is named. Holds loads. I used to one drive my shots, but got paranoid my laptop would crash lol. Yep right bummer if phone breaks.
If planning permission not granted it might be there some time.
