One of my absolute favourite places to shoot, ever.
Almost three decades ago a factory that used to produce parts for Pianofortes shut down, some was repurposed into making interior parts for cars and closed recently, about 1/3 of the site though was left totally derelict. As you can imagine after almost 30 years of abandonment the majority of the site is picked bare, but one total gem of a building remains. As far as natural decay goes it's right up there at the top.
The colours and textures in here are the best I have ever seen anywhere. I could quite happily sit in here all day shooting all the little details.
Mix of two different visits and two different lenses.

Cheers guys, its a very special place. Although it's been on the UK urbex scene for way longer than the five years I've been involved it's very often overlooked in favour of newer stuff...but its a lesson to people to never forget the old faithful ones!
Went back today, got some more photos which will be up shortly

Pretty sweet explore man! With a bit of editing, I think you could really help the pics come alive and get more color out of them. A small demonstration with your own material below:
