This factory originally opened in 1966 to make aircraft enginges, the company got into financial difficulties in 1971 and the factory finally closed in 1977.
In 1979 the site reopend under a different name to make car seat belts, it stayed open until 2004 when production finally ceased due to...
(first report)
So myself and @milestromp had been researching this factory for a while (back when the film crew was there) and had no hopes of getting in. a year later we thought we would try again, and here's the report.

Apologies for the lack of quality, this is my first post here.
History (creds to @urbexrebel67 for this) - The Pilkington Glass Factory is located in Doncaster, in the Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate, in the outskirts of the town. Pilkington Glass was founded in 1826 as a partnership between...
This is only our second thread (myself & @Narg1992). We thought we may as well post while we are in lockdown due to the amount of photos we have lying around!
So as we are local to Halesowen we thought we might as well check out the New Hawne Colliery. Unfortunately we dont have much history on...
History:
The history of this former textile mill began at the end of the 1800s. At the time this whole area was booming due to the growing textile industry. When operating this facility expanded throughout the years to become the second largest textile mill in this town. The customers which...
I think nearly everyone and his doggo went here so i never posted a report at the time. The first 2 shots are of the last Mini to leave Longbridge which I'm sure some of you photographed in situ about a decade before.

First time exploring and found this abandoned roof tile factory that sits just to the North of the River Derwen on the hillside above Ebchester, County Durham.
It was previously owned by Marley Roof Tiles and we found some paperwork dated from 2015 but don’t know when it ceased operations as...
An unplanned explore on a sunny August bank holiday evening led to a return the following weekend fully armed with our cameras! These are shots from both visits.
Stewartby Brickworks has stood in the small village of Stewartby since the 1920s. Stewartby, then named Wooton Pillinge, soon became...
"There's a camera up there, wonder if it's live?... oh yep! it just swivelled around towards us!" ... That soon sent us running.
The CEMEX Floor Cement Plant in Halling, Rochester, was once one of the largest concrete production firms in Kent, creating a variety of concrete floors, bricks...
I'm back again, catching up on all the reports I've not got around to putting up in the last year and more!
This time around, it's an interesting little place tucked away in rural Suffolk.
Unfortunately I don't know the history of the place, when it closed and why. It's clearly been abandoned...
This is an edit of a livestream I did from a half abandoned brick factory in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The outside of the site has been turned into a scrapyard, but the buildings have been left mostly intact.
My friend and I attempted to sneak around and see as much as we could.
Hope you enjoy. :)
Although there isn't much left here and a lot of the site is pretty bare, this is still a nice easy explore - especially for anyone looking for somewhere who is particularly new to this! The site is pretty big and offers a range of wall art to be found.
You can check out all my photos from...

The Visit
I’ve had my eye on this one for longer than I care to admit and had all but given up on it, however driving past one morning I couldn’t believe my luck when I spotted a way in, a few hours later I was back and inside the building, spending nearly 5 hours wandering around...

This is my first report so please feel free to let me know if I've done anything wrong or what I can do to improve. I'm also well aware my photography isn't the best...I'm still learning!
I know this place has been done a lot but there's something about it that I fell in love with after first...
The explore:
We found this old factory local to us by chance, fairly simple to enter. Not entirely sure of the history. Houses next door to each entrance, factory is located behind the houses.
Seems to have been an old computer parts storage warehouse, most of the parts being from 1980ish and...
A little mooch from a couple of months back that I completely forgot to post! I really liked this place, it had some interesting graffiti and was strangely peaceful.
Standing on the edge of the canal in Harefield stands Harefield Limeworks. It is known locally as the Hanging Monkey due to the...
So this is my first report! So please be generous..
It’s not so much a factory but it’s attached to fullers earth works, (surrounding buildings)
On my recent trip to fullers earth works I found that you could no longer access the factory directly as there were new boarders put up around it...
Intro
We accidentally discovered this site the day before our visit, after having to cancel a London explore, so with little knowledge we headed there and hoped for the best.
The Bulding
The site itself (NOW DEMOLISHED) consisted of two buildings and multiple conveyors and towers, a bit like an...
