Visited with the usual Bennys...

Started with what was probably a locomotive shed, but was now used for storing old casting patterns...

Then a walk around the ore preparation plant and workshops...

and then we followed the conveyor up a monster tower, over a mesh floor over some stinking water and rotting iron hulks...

And then over to the finishing shed. Like templeborough, but with a bit more left. And the fact that it's still standing.

Rail bogies just piled up...

Next, we found the electrical stores. A small forge and workshop area downstairs...

and then three floors of spares, still there.

Some old paperwork...

There's still lots more to see here as well. Will definitely be back.
