Work commenced on this abandoned construction site in 2002.
The family built complex (between a mother and her two sons) was to consist of a pharmaceutical laboratory with a university situated out the front but funds ran dry and the family had a falling out - the project was abandoned mid-construction.
Since then the place has sat empty and unused with a large fence around it - all the construction equipment; cinder blocks, tools, bags of concrete have been left behind collecting dust and colonies of spiders.
Sitting on a hill in a prominent location this location is highly exposed to the motorway which is why the place is so recognisable, however as the site is guarded by security 24/7 (split between 12 hour shifts) the walls have remained free of graffiti and tagging for over twelve years.
Whilst I was unable to gain access to the laboratories situated at the rear of the building, this here link I have provided displays exactly what I was unable to document:
