Wallerscote Island

Wallerscote Island is situated on the river Weaver in the North West of England near Northwich. The Island is home to part of one of the world's 5 largest soda ash manufacturing companies known as 'Brunner Mond'. In 1873 and Industrialist named John Brunner and a Chemist by the name of Ludwig Mond formed a soda ash manufacturing business so successful that years later the 'Brunner Mond' corporation merged with two other companies, one of which was ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries).

An annoying one, this was. One of those explores where as soon as you have climbed three fences, a dog walker finds his way freely into the same area you are in.

We definitely found the most awkward way into the site imaginable.

Good fun
