Worth noting that it appears that security is being stepped up here after a spate of "recent incidents":

Taken them long enough to wake up!

Fantastic report. I do love factories, Im a machine & ornate lover. Machines are so photogenic, I dont pretend to understand what this place did lol, but I would be in my element here. Cant beat lots of machinery. Loved it, absolutely loved it. ::

I spent my last 3 years operating here before it closed, it looked no different when it was on work lol. At one time it had 2 set of calcium evaporators and also produced caustic soda back in the day. Sadly it was demolished about 3 or 4 months ago along with a few of the other plants. The bi-carb plant, part of the compressor house and water plant are the only parts still going. Great pictures and report brought back some fond memories for me.
