- Sunrise Medical -

It's quite a large factory with factory floor areas, several office blocks, as well as the front main office building.

It's worth a look but watch out for asbestos .

Photos...

Factory Floors.

Wondering up stairs not knowing what I'm going to find...

Leads up to a large open cupboard with this generator(?) inside, with asbestos stickers covered all around...
Was dark and I didn't have my mask on at this point, then realised the signs... Felt annoyed at myself because quite sure I breathed something in, the air seemed a bit odd there too.
Straight to the doctors the next day.

Hello on site security.

Towards the end of the explore was taking self shots on the long stairs case with self timer, after a few photos I randomly hear a door close somewhere close in the building, wasn't sure what to do... Came to one of two choices; either leave or make a loud noise myself (like bang a locker or loudly close a door myself) to scare them away... Was getting dark and I had already searched the whole building so decided to leave, quickly picked stuff up (camera, tripod and bag) and hurried to the closest exit.

-Thanks,
Voibmi.

I worked there before Sunrise went. That store room in the offices was full of old car phones and IT equipment from the 80’s.

Same shit different era as they say.
