A former brickworks site providing 59,000 sqft of old industrial buildings on a site, mostly concreted, of about 7 acres at the western end, plus two 3 bed cottages. It has been an employment site since the 1930's. There is a further site of 9 acres at the western end used for open storage of brick earth.

The factory closed in September 2008, They blame the pressures of the credit crunch and the downturn in the housing market resulting in fewer builders buying bricks

Went to this place with @flippyroo and a non member, Was nice seeing a place without vandalism and graffiti.

The place is falling apart most of the wood is rotting and the roof is collapsing quite bad, Was really good place spent around 2 hours looking around.

Looks in pretty good condition, must have been dark inside though!
Yeah we got there pretty much as the sun set.

It's not to bad apart from one of the buildings, you could feel the bricks sinking as you walked on them and the roof was falling in on its self lol, was nice seeing a place that hasn't been trashed tho.

:D was a good night


Yep I got some good shots. I will find that map for the other tunnels I said about. Looks like you got around that place more than I did that night, so funny how we both saw security vans but know they not armed with anyone, and they couldn't care less anyway :D
