Report - Viyella Works, Nottingham, April 2011.

[crusader]

Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks to Layz for giving a heads up on this place, I wouldn't have found it without his help.

I love the architecture on this building, it is an intriguing maze of walkways, corridors and assorted rooms.
I unfortunately didnt find a way into the tower but I will revisit sometime I hope.

Here are my pics:

Outside:

Viyella logo is still visible on the tower:

Dusty assorted paperwork

One of the first floor rooms:

Me sat at a desk

I wonder what that used to be...

I saw the same things in Forest Mills, anyone know what they are? I suspect they are for fitting clothes...

Window pic:

Now this was an interesting find!

The second floor:

Do not use the fire escape:

Sewing machine:

A room filled with loads of assorted old paperwork dating back to the 1950s

Walkways :

Another interesting find: a large trapdoor operated by rope pulleys

A few shots taken on the roof:

Forest Mills visible not far away:

Thanks for looking, I took over 100 photos on my visit to the Viyella Works, and I strongly recommend a visit for anyone who is in Nottingham
