This sort of place was just what the doctor ordered for me, a nice big chilled decaying industrial wander with lots of things to climb up, lots of pipes and a couple of buildings to poke around in too. It also has what I consider to be one of the best pieces of graffiti I've seen pretty much anywhere on the side of one of the massive storage tanks.
This waste water treatment plant is all that remains of a former Agrochemical manufacturing facility which was demolished in 2010. Due to the extreme level of contamination on site, between 2010 and 2013 a huge decontamination clean up operation was undertaken and it was finally signed off as safe in 2014. There are now houses being built on the site of the old agrochemical manufacturing plant but across the road the old water plant remains untouched.
Overall we covered the whole of whats left, climbing up many things and having a good time before moving on to the next explore.

Awesome set, just like always. I'm curious, however- what exactly was in that tank in #23? It almost looks like it was full of rocks.
I have to say, that "Smoke and Mirrors" graffiti was a nice find, and the vines across the window in #16 was also pretty awesome. Those would be my favorites, though it's a bit hard to choose just two.

At first from a distance I thought it was a layer of charcoal for filtration, but they are little plastic devices which are obviously some kind of filtration method - the entire tank was full of them from bottom to top. The structure in the middle rotated around the tank spraying liquid over them which was then filtered down to the bottom where it came out of small pipes in the base. At least thats how I guess it worked from looking at it.
