History

Can't find alot of information about this place, although it was a factory making cassettes, cassette players, and other similar old school audio products. Judging by a half filled in calendar on the wall, looks like it closed in 2012.

I'll update if I find any more info!

The explore

My partner in crime (dad) is back, woo! This isn't too far from us so we pottered on down for a drive on a glorious sunny afternoon. The place is absolutely trashed however there is so much stuff still there to see, its like they just dropped everything and left! A really cool explore

Alot of pictures but it was hard to chose a few!

Exterior, nothing fancy

Anyone know what this is?!

Creepy butchers flaps, this is how horror movies happen right?

Thanks for looking!

Thank you! There's not alot about this place online

You have stumbled on a company with the same name, same business address and 2 different company numbers and data. I'm unable to find a link to these 2 companies at the moment. Manufacturing site of first company unknown. You have definitely found the manufacturing site of the 2005 - 2015 company - well done. The second company actually has the name of Graff of Newark Ltd - formed the year that the first company published their last annual return so definitely a link.

What I have found out is the business address in Bingham Notts is actually an insolvency company so both businesses used the same insolvency company to wind up their businesses

Anyone know what this is?!

It’s an oscilloscope. To simply put it, it’s used to test electrical equipment and the graph displays varying signal voltage over time

 

[Bikin Glynn]

Nice report. I wouldnt have said it's pic heavy. Seems you've posted a reasonable amount of photos to show the place well.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Nice find, even though its pretty trashed it still looks a decent mooch about. I find these places & their history interesting as I have relatives that work in places like this.

Yes, but easilly repairable and worth doing. Yes, it is CRT based but the tubes rarely fail.
