I'm sure this site needs no real introduction, A real classic that's been done countless times. A mill that produced cigarette paper and closed down overnight in the early 00's. Everything is still in place and hasn't been vandalized at all, Thanks to it being locked down well, aswell as on site security.

I'v been wanting to do this one for ages. I only got into the hobby earlier this year and this has been at the top of my list since then. Iv been before but never found a way in. After hearing about the demolition work beginning, i figured i best get there whilst i still can. Me and my lad had an early start and head up there at 7 this morning. Decided not to try getting in where parts have been ripped down as parts didn't look stable so went to find another way in. I had a vague idea of the access point, It wasn't easy to spot, But was super easy to get inside whilst the mounds of razor wire tell you otherwise.
Inside is looking quite rough in parts. There are two large water leaks coming from pipes at ceiling height. Not sure if this is typical here but there's enough water flowing out to make a lot of noise, and Two floors have started flooding enough to get inside my boots.
I didn't see as much as i'd like, i'm gutted i couldn't find the room with all the shiny rollers. I either missed a door, Or the wooden staircase with a handful of steps missing leads to all the good stuff, But i decided to play it safe. Once reaching as far as we could find, There was a wooden door with a window missing, was debating climbing through but this lead to the area which is half demolished. We walked around to the exterior of the torn down building, But bailed when a wagon started backing in. Another visit is definitely on the table in the near future to try and find the parts i wanted to see.
Shout out to the two lads with the camera hiding in the bushes on your way in, as we were leaving if your'e on here!!
Thanks for looking!
