History - Established in 1898 Eva Brothers Ltd was a traditional Forge specialising in the forging of stainless steel, nickel and other alloys. Their Manchester base was known as Crabtree Forge, and was one of the last traditional forge works to remain in the area. The piston con-rods for the Titanic were forged at this site. After the demise of Steam locomotives in the 1960s, traditional work slowed down and the company began focusing on the automotive industry. They made various car equipment, and blanks for forging car parts. In 1960, Eva Brothers changed its name to Eva Industries. The company eventually closed down in 2005.

Explore - The way to get into this place was actually fairly easy, there seem's to be two entrances into this building, one was via the canal through a gap in a fence which leads you through a forest, and the second entrence we found was a green gate just a tiny walk down from the first entrence, this one gets your right inside of the building. This site is fairly big, it has three buildings, each one having unique elements to them.

Only two pictures showing at the moment...
Beat me to it, I was gonna ask that, this place has loads of interesting stuff to photograph across 3 buildings. I quite like how dark and ominous that first pic looks though.
