The main part of this factory, just south of the Metro Radio Arena, was demolished a while back and these photos are of the washrooms that remain. The place is probably in the worst condition possible and I guess it will be demolished soon due to the planned redevelopment of that area.

Wee bastards have ruined it, kinda loses the atmosphere with all the grafitti.
It was certainly messy, probably the messiest explore I've ever done.
Was in there today , It's in even worse condition than that, the bottom floor is cut of by railings on both entrances to the basement but it's still easy accesable took a few pics then got out of there didn't look stable in the lower floors at all,Where as the top floor was just rubble and a caved in roof. No Demolition has taken place nor any Construction, Brilliant place to explore so i really hope the don't demolish this place.
Cheers, I'm not sure I would risk going in there now as it must be at the point of collapse.
Let me know if you put any photos online and I will link to them from here.
