Report - Murphys Machinery Imperial Works Menston Leeds January 2019

So we came across this place on the side of the road on our way to Leeds to visit some places.
The place was in ruins, ceiling was hanging by a thread, we nearly went through the top floor and the stairs, you can tell the place has been closed for many years, lots of old machinery in there still. Still a nice little find and my first factory as well.

This place is one of the classics. Nice to see it's still kicking around.

It's in a bad way now, so wouldn't be surprised if it does get demolished soon

A true classic. Sadly looking a little worse for wear but still worthy a trip

I've been researching this place cos I now pass it every time I visit family in Leeds, and me and the Mrs we're wondering what it was.
Just wanted to post a message stating that it's still standing as of Wednesday night when we passed it.
Stay safe,
Matt.
