Not quite but all the works side of it has yeah. Oil storage and piers are still untouched which takes up most of the site.

Cool, if im ever down there, I may give it a looking at.

I was under the impression the storage tanks were still in use and thats why the works area was still in use. Maybe things have changed tho.

Yeah a lot of them are apparently, but yeah, could explain why the works area is still in use, although it looked a lot more like the demolition contractor was in there. Still, there's not much left to see really other than just tanks and a few pipes.

Still can't believe these mind blowing pictures. Gutted to have never made it in here due to a brief hiatus in my urbex career, but the refinery has been a definitive local landmark of mine. Managed to infiltrate in 2019 and some friends climbed the chimney, but sadly much of this is gone by this time. Will link these images on a local historical website of mine if that's alright.

For sure go ahead, let me know if you need any more pics.

Cheers mate appreciated big time. May even include a few pics in that case. It’s stuff like this that proves that urban explorers have a use, nobody else would dare capture these pics whilst they had the chance!
