The History

The John Player Bonded Warehouses were constructed in 1939 for storage of tobacco and were used until 2016. There were originally three warehouses, with two already demolished in 2017 leaving just one standing along with some outbuildings and workshops.

The Explore

The biggest attraction here is the rooftop which has splendid views of Nottingham. It's obviously quite a popular attraction for the local youths, as upon arrival one Friday night for a visit we were greeted by the fire brigade presumably rescuing some poor sods who'd let the fire door close behind them.

We had a check through the outbuildings next to the road, but apart from a massive spoon there was little to find.

All eight floors are completely uniform and empty

And a few shots from my first attempt at manual long exposures during a night visit

Brilliant to see the old buildings. A real part of Nottingham history, like Raleigh and Boots. Is is still possible to get in?

I worked with a bloke who worked there. He said there was a lot of people always there from customs and excise!
