Visited here with a few friends,it was a chance explore.we pulled up to stretch our legs and have a bite to eat after finishing an explore.i said to them look we are parked right outside this large derelict industrial site.the others were not bothered about it and said it did not look that good.but anyone who knows me well knows I was itching to get in there.so they said you go have a look.so I had a wander around and said it is quite good.so they came in.they just stayed in the main room with the stairs and cranes while I went exploring the whole site.
Butterley engineering was a company founded in 1790 by Benjamin outram.the company was very specicialist in its works,they built the Vauxhall bridge over the river Thames.the Barlow train shed at st Pancras station.at its height it employed over ten thousand people and was producing overhead cranes and bridges.in 2009the company was put into administration and shut its doors with the downturn in the market.demolition teams were quickly on site.looking at old pics the site was massive originally and incorporated train lines.it still has its own underground canal.that would be interesting to see.and it has been explored in the past.the net would have you believe it was all demolished.but it's not.there is several buildings left and they are very nice.
