| | | I like many kinds of abandoned locations - churches, schools, hospitals - all the usual stuff. However nothing gets me going quite like abandoned industry, so when I was confronted with this place I pretty much had a happy trouser accident right there and then - a simply enormous monolith of a factory spread over nine sprawling floors. Not having seen any photos of the place before I didn't know what to expect, and once inside I was in my element. I spent a large amount of time wandering around the huge place on my own, away from the other six in our group. Way more than I normally explore with and they were busy getting in everyone's shots (hence the reason we tagged the weekend the 'you're in my shot tour') so I quite enjoyed the peace and quiet and taking it at my own pace. Come to think of it, I explored a lot of the locations on my trip over on my own away from the groups I was with and I have to say it did wonders for my confidence. This was by far and away the nicest smelling explore I have ever done - the majority of the factory has a very strong odour of Spearmint, and congealed on the floors are big pools of glucose and other raw gum making materials, which makes some floors incredibly sticky and other floors almost spongey. I loved this place, it's right up there with my favourite factories I have explored. I could of quite happily spent the entire day in there but we had other places to be. 1

| | | Posted by relik If this is the same place i'm thinking (the smell of spearmint and glucose on floor lead me to believe so), i've had two failed attempts here: First time, a trucker saw the first group of us dart inside (everyone ended up getting out before the cops showed up), so he called the police. The second time (rather recently), police training was in session. Doesn't help it's on a damn busy intersection either! I've never actually saw photos of the inside until now, so thanks for sharing! Nice work!
| I'm not surprised by that - as I'm sure you know the way into the site is ridiculously out in the open, and all it would take is one 'concerned citizen' to see you and it's game over. I don't quite know how we managed to get six or seven of us inside without being rumbled, although someone did honk at us as the last of us slipped inside. It's well worth the effort though, it really is awesome inside. Posted by enirus What lens are you using? Love these pictures
