I noticed someone had already created a thread for their photos taken at this location, not wanting to hijack their thread, I decided to start my own (I hope that's okay). I first went into this place in November of 2014, and I've been frequently going there to explore and photograph. I'm only amateur, but I thought I should share what I've captured anyway. These are the best I've taken so far, I'll definitely be returning to continue photographing and mapping the place out.

Good photos! I'm glad to see that you got to this location, it used to be a lot nicer before they started to clean it all up, and remove a lot of the equipment.

Thanks, most of these photos have been taken while I'm exploring with friends so they don't give me much time to set up nice shots. Plus it's freezing in there, making it difficult to hold the camera. I'll hopefully be able to get better shots in the spring. It's such a cool spot with lots to explore. I've been there at least half a dozen times, each trip lasting about two hours, and I'm still not sure if we've discovered everything there is to see there.

1 - Good pics. Thank you for showing us!
2 - The foundry is a very long explore. We've also been in there for hours without seeing everying there is to see.
3 - How did you get up on the roof?

In the attic of the office building, there's an open section of the window. You need to climb up a bit, but it's easy and the platform to get to the window and it's pretty secure.

I think we've found some ways onto the roof in the past, but just decided against it at the times.
