For some reason or another I never got around to posting this place.
This is up there with some of the more unusual places I have explored, for sure. I'm sure at one point these large former chicken sheds were attached to the neighbouring, still occupied, farm house (and indeed they are storing various bits there too) however it would appear that this collection of structures - six in total - were taken over and used by a company who specialised in electrical wholesale, clearance, parts, literally anything electrical you could think of from military stuff to phones, computer parts, games and consoles, electrical wiring spares and everything in between. There were also, weirdly, a number of cars stored in one of the sheds as well.
J. Bull Electrical Ltd. began post-war in 1945 selling ex-military phones and other equipment, gradually branching out into all corners of bulk electronics sold through catalogues, newspaper adverts, and eventually the internet. They went under in 2006 according to the paperwork inside, however there is almost nothing on the internet about this place that I can find. Although the business appears to have restarted under a new name at some point, this location is totally absent from anything I have read up on which is slightly frustrating as I'm usually pretty good at digging up info! In the intervening years has been thoroughly gone through with, I imagine, most of the good stuff long gone - whats left is all ruined having been sat in a damp wet decaying and collapsing set of sheds for thirteen years. It became almost overwhelming after a while because of the sheer volume of stuff left inside along with hundreds and hundreds of the tea shipping crates things were stored in. You could literally spend days going through all the unopened boxes of ruined things here.
It would appear from reading peoples testimonies that the company wasn't held in the best regard, regularly supplying faulty goods, or not shipping stuff at all. Having seen how they stored their stock, I'm not at all surprised...
The lighting in here even on a good day is utterly terrible but I tried my best...
Thanks for looking
