Report - ICI Imagedata, Brantham, Essex, October 2020, nighttime explore

[UrbexSuffolk]

First Report here!
This has already been covered many times on 28dl. However it is still a proper explore and was fun to see. It is, as said before; heavily vandalized and there is a looming feeling that demolition is near.

History of this site:
There is a lot of confusing history around the BX site, it had so many different names over the years and many of those were used at the same time it would appear. This area was once a joint venture between BX and Ilford, running under the name Bexford producing thermal films. It was taken over by ICI at some point in the 1960s and remained operational as ICI Imagedata before being taken over by ITW Imagedata in 2010, who still operate out of part of the site up to the present.

Good on you for getting out, but these places look so much better in daylight, plus you're able to see a lot more of what there actually is there!

Not bad for a first report mate. As mookster mentioned - ten times better in daylight!

Fair point, we're planning a daytime explore next time we go out.

To make this a stellar report, you need to include a few more things.

• A month and year of the explore in the title. I wouldn’t recommend adding the exact date of the visit as the forum is public, and known to be viewed by security and owners.
• A little history in the body of the report.
• And as prior mentioned, some better photos; visiting in the daytime or even investing in a torch is a good shout!
