There isn't a great deal of history on this place that I can find but it opened at some point in the 70s and closed between 2005 and 2006.
They tested everything from drugs to household items like irons and candles.
I visited with crashmatt, kaputnik, ashless, 85 vintage and the revolution. Whilst we were in there we also bumped into Goldie and MD. Nice meeting you guys.

Electron Microscope

Motors for erm well I don't actually know

Lots of books lying around

An autoclave?

I'll add some of my pics onto here if thats ok, was nice seeing you guys

Despite the fact pikeys have been in, there are still plenty of things to see. It also has nice views of nottingham castle.

Cool photos guys. Tis a good explore.

Ben, I don't think that's an electron microscope.

Marvellous stuff. Looks like a cross between a school and a mad scientists' play area.

I think it's an Ealing reflecting microscope. But really I've no idea, I just noticed the label.

I didn't realise you guys were there at first as I was off on my own taking pictures. Went to talk to two of our group in the stores and then went for a wander in the dark basement where I saw six people (6 in our group). Only after you two walked off I realised six + the two I'd been talking to = eight.

I was having a slow day....

Wilson Bowden have proposed or have permission for an office development for the site, but that was a year ago if not longer.

A 'Total Reclaims' board went up very recently outside, and work to clear the inside has begun, the same firm were very quick in clearing and demolishing some buildings close to this one.

Demo work has started here now.

I went past yesterday and saw all the windows and frames had been taken out. A guy I work with lives close to it and said they've pulled some of the back bit down, but not sure which part he meant.

fezzyben · May 22, 2009

Most definately mate. Good job I went to have a look that morning or i'd have said there was no access and we'd have missed out.

85 Vintage · May 23, 2009

Do it now!

Went past and had a look today.

A sizeable bit has gone, rear and to the right of where this pic of Goldies is taken from. The part with the roller cabinets and the storage area with the ass for the people that have been

Access is ok still, for now at least.
