Shredded Wheat Factory

Rubex · Mar 23, 2016

The Shredded Wheat Factory opened in 1926 and closed in 2008. Large storage sheds were built around the factory but they have since been demolished leaving the factory standing in a large area of wasteland. Tesco submitted plans for redevelopment but they were rejected in January 2012.

Thanks for looking,

Rubex

I enjoyed that Rubex, great pics. I remember a friend of mine used to service some machines there and always came back with loads of boxes of cereals etc that he bought from the staff shop.

hi,
I worked there for 22 yrs. Its a shame that it got to that state well done for taking the pictures it brings back memories thanks again ,

Oh its so great to see this place again! there looks like a bit more water damage over the years but thats to be expected I guess, I just love this factory!

Thanks for documenting it after its been quiet for so long, I love catching up with places.

I heard it was going to be redev but the council wudn't allow it...the silo's were going to be turned into a roof cafe, such a shame the plans weren't allowed!

Wonderful report and pics Rubex, Thanks!
