That’s an incredible set of photos, I even like the jaunty 2008 style lol. Reminds me of good times, haha

Not making the trip up years ago when I had the chance will be something I regret. Bloody part time explorer me

Cheers mate. Yeah the 2008 pics as bad as they are remind me of some good times.

There’s still time, and plenty to see. Get yourself up here. Give me a shout if you.

 

[TheTimeChamber]

Thanks mate, I’ll drop you a message

How long do you reckon it's got left?

It's mainly only the newer additions which are being demolished, some of the buildings are listed so unless a mysterious fire should remain.

Good to know cheers mate

Then again I could be wrong about the older buildings being kept, here's an impression of what the site will look like after the development. The current demolition may be just the first phase?

Bloody hell. Yeah that shows the lot being gone. Quite a large site isnt it when you look at it like that.

I have a feeling its more of a scrap grab at this stage. Doesn't seem to be very organised. Lots of asbestos floating around the site and no effort to remove any yet which seems a bit strange. Then again ive seen some pretty hap hazard demo of places before so who knows... Someone post something on Facebook about the land being contaminated and it will be there for decades to come im sure.

all the main doors to the older section have been closed up, which you wouldn’t bother doing if your taking the whole thing down, seems more like a partial demo….but not sure what the point of that is?

Great coverage!

Is the workshop accessible these days? I walked around it a few times and couldn’t spot a way inside.

Clearing part or all of the land can make it a more enticing prospect for any developers who are interested as they won't have to spend as much on their own demolition or clearance works - plus it provides a handy pay day for the owners in scrap.

Good point, must’ve been some scrap value in that new machinery they pulled out. Plus I remember all the containers going about a year ago….there was a big shortage of containers after covid so I guess that would’ve made money too.

Yeah, I made a return visit and got it ticked off

The turbine hall has been cleared of all the scrap too. Its no coincidence.

Incidentally has anyone done the rest of the big building with the Landover?
