Abandoned Tannery... 1st Industrial UE
< on 3/20/2006 3:28 AM >

Ive been browsing around for a while now but thought I might post about my first cool UE on the weekend. Ive been into some abandoned houses and stuff before but this was about a million times cooler.

Its a fairly big complex that was a tannery. Theres a few buildings, one seems to be the main work area for whatever they were doing, theres another we didnt go into and another that seems like it was a big maintenance garage of some kind. The main tannery has also got a converted house attached to it by a tunnel that was used for the offices and for the vault. I dont know if it has a basement or not. I didn't see an entrance to get down there but I think it could have been blocked off.

A majority of the stuff that was laying around seemed to date to the early - mid 80's, but there were a few things that sugested that some kinf of bussiness was operating there (at least in the house part) durring the 90's. It really looks as if everyone just packed up and walked off one day. The basic materials are MIA but all of the equiptment is just sitting there to rot... along with all of the bussiness paperwork stuff. There has been some minor vandalisim, but it is, for the most part, intact. It is a "guarded" site as well, so that require some attention.

We were in there for a few hours anyways, there was lots to see and is definantly worth another visit. I got about 30 pics that I still have to go through, Il see about posting some on here later on, but I have dial up and it takes for frickin ever.

It doesn't have to take long. You can keep your images below 99k, and still have a good amount of detail in them.

Looking forward to what you have to show.

Even Infranview would work, and it's free.

So's The Gimp - Photoshop quality program, too, with tonnes of add-on modules. Either way - use some image editing software to lower the file resolution and size, compress it a little bit as a jpeg, and you should be good to go. It needs to be under 100k to post here.

LOL.

It's Photoshop quality, if you can figure out how in God's name to use it. It's an EXTREMELY difficult, cumbersome and sloppy interface. Oh, and if you're running windows, don't even think about it.

Ewww...


Back to the main topic, seems like a real cool location. If you could PM me the details (roughly) of where it is, I'd be much obliged. I'd like to check it out this weekend.

I guess I should have put a qualifier on that... if you've got two brain cells to rub together, you could try The Gimp.

I hope you get that figured out soon. If not, you can always email me a couple of the shots (email can easily handle files at that size) and I'll do the grunt work for you.

What did "the town" have to say about it? I was talking to a guy at work and he said the place has been closed "forever".

I got the owners name. And abouts where he lives so I can contact him.

They're forcing demolition on him cause the place is completely condemned and they WANT him to pay for it but it's up to city council to decide on whether or not to pay for the demo just to get it out of their hair.
