I went to have a look around over the weekend and after. 1-1/2 hrs of trying to get in I found away so here it is .
Photos taken with my Sony DSC-HX90 and my Sony DSC-HX80 hope you enjoy.

I didn’t know much about this plac so I Stole this history:
Pilkingtons established in Lancashire 1826. The Doncaster plant was established in 1922. Looking at the site you can when they expended over the years. Especially when you look from the roof, you can see the different sections of the factory and how they differ from one another. When walking about this is really apparent.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Pilkington opened plants in several countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada and Sweden. The firm was taken over by Japanese company NSG in 2006. The factory closed in 2008 with the loss of more than 100 jobs, not entirely sure why it closed however I'd like to say it was due to the takeover by NSG.

The site is used by a company called TRACK WORK WERE THEY STORE RAILWAY SLEEPERS but the building is abandoned.
Have a look at my YouTube. Urban lad “Yorkshire” for the full video.


Thanks for taking the time to look at my pictures.

Wow, looks like the place is in actual turbo shit state nowadays...

Glad I covered the workshops looking as though it's just an empty shed now!
