Report - Clerk Green Engineering - Batley - Dec 22

Clerk Green Engineering

​

Bit of a hidden gem this place IMO, though its not really hidden at all. I was in 2 minds whether to post but believe has been reported prev & has certainly been all over fb & the papers by Sheffield's finest!
Forgive me here but any prev reports must of been a bit "meh" because I had pinned it as "looks ok" but was the sort of place that blew my mind when I decided to have a look, proper old school engineering shop with soo much left to see & a bonus lotus to boot.

​

Cant find a lot about this place, it was a general engineering & auto repair shop dating back to the 1950s. I believe in its early years they manufactured bottle washing equipment.
Spent a good few hour or so in here solo & thoroughly enjoyed it, so I'll let you make your own mind up with some pics!

That will have to do, thanks for looking.​

yes decided to post it. as mentioned its been in yorkshire live amongst other places & could of sworn its been on here but cant find it.
It deff worth a visit before everything now inevitably gets nicked.
Im hoping a few visits prompts the owners to secure it which wouldnt b that hard.

Yes these places seem to be getting less and less these days its always a thrill to see new stuff coming up albeit not as often. Great report and thanks for posting.

Thanks dave, I am of course fully aware that posting often leads to the demise of such places but hopefully give some of u the opportunity to see it.
Tbh iv had it pinned for prob 2 years & like I say its on a main rd so not exactly hidden anyway.

Wow, I really like the look of that. A proper old school place which, like others have said, are quite few and far between now. Nice shots.

It can't do much more than what everyone's favourite moron Lost Faeces has done.

Ran the Lotus' plates on the government site out of curiosity. Apparently not been taxed since 1999 and last logbook issued in 95
