Sileby Incinerator, Leics – October 2015
A bit late posting this one almost a month after visiting! After an unfortunate day of fail after fail in and around Melton Mowbray, after buying the obligatory Melton Mowbray Pork Pies (The more expensive in house made ones with all the jelly of course); we headed to our final site on a very long list and that was this little incinerator in Sileby, Leicestershire.
The site itself is pretty trashed and made for some awful lighting; but was actually rather photogenic. We must have spent an hour or more in this small site. Not much information on this one; but it appears to have operated as a private refuse incinerator from the 1970s-1990s and then as a council recycling depot until its unknown but guessed closure of around 2002. I found cans dating back to 2001 on the sorting machine and some cardboard cereal packets dating back to 2002.
Visited with Mookster.
