Hey all,

After my reccie in April, I decided to have an easy explore again. I didn't realise the actual size or layout of the place. It's sort of a big "W" shape(similar to most of the factories of this era) when viewed from above.

It's been cleared out of late, but was vacated about 20 years ago as far as I can find. There were a few things left lying about, but the building was my main target. There aren't many places of this age left un-converted in the Jewellery Quarter.

The original building would have housed a single factory, but it was split up in the 50'/60's for different commercial uses.
