A relatively unplanned trip with some members of another forum!

Luckily it was a beautiful day, and we had a great explore...This particular part of Hoover looks like it has been abandoned for a lot longer than the recently closed plant, which looks very much still occupied and busy.

Mostly paperwork inside, although some of it is hilarious! But we did come across a few little gems:

Came across som old washing machines, that even had the old manuals inside them!

Some beautiful views from the roof!

Ooooh I'm so glad someone's got in here. I know they're keeping some of the offices there, and the warehouse is still being used by them. But the rest is closed.

Excellent pics, love all those older models of washing machines, they look in excellent condition. Hope they stay that way and end up in a museum all together. Would be aweful if they were just left to be smashed up.

Good work you,

Cheers,

:) Sal

Here's my photos from the trip with inlovewithsound. A little late, I'd forgotten that I'd signed up to this site. :neutral:

Apologies about the size, downsized them to 800 instead of my usual 700.
