I-M-M-E-N-S-E.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading that and appreciating the fantastic shots. Great work - if I was wearing a hat, it would be doffed in your direction.

cracking pics a site i know so well worked there once back in the early eighties,security is pretty shit hot there,as always,well since someone nicked 4 massive blocks of low grade silver some years back ,like well over a tonne,but it has many ways on to the site,they is many conveyer belts etc that can be easy accessed and yer can get around the full site with out being seen once yer in the conveyers that is, most of the conveyers lead to others like them but be well warned face masks and a defo change of clothes for anyone who ventures in there ! were talking dust thats very fine and about a foot deep in places,yer can get away with no face mask but next day yer nose will be sore as hell full of black bogeys and yer eyes will look like yer got big black marks underneath them,also one or two buildings even though they been shut down for yrs are alarmed with no possible way to enter even from higher floors ! what i wanna know is where is the tunnel entrance points that lead to the other side (northside) of the river Tees ?

Things have changed at the BOS since these photos. All floor slabs have been ripped up, torpedo fleet burnt up , transfer cars burned up, slag pots scrapped and now the ladles are being scrapped !

Cheers for the update. Glad i got to see it before they got the gas axes out! 99% of the exploring community are missing the best place since Burlington, crazy really!

Great pictures, and very sad. Used to be in the industry myself and it's ridiculous the state things have got to

Great work there and secca still on the ball as ever mind i caught off workers a few times over the years who then informed secca and a pleasure it was too to be escorted off site in the works security van.

I've took the liberty to shift this to the noteworthy section

Cheers dude, I've lost interest with this little story as my photos on upload lost their original quality and it pains me! I may have to re upload them and edit the whole lot.
