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.

ReplyDeleteIt was certainly messy, probably the messiest explore I've ever done.
ReplyDeleteWas 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.
ReplyDeleteCheers, I'm not sure I would risk going in there now as it must be at the point of collapse.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you put any photos online and I will link to them from here.
