A large site which started life as A.E.Hawley and co.
Part of the site became Brookside Dyers and finishers which closed sometime in the 90's and the other half was Sketchley Industrial dry cleaning.
After Brookside Dyers closed Sketchley took ownership of the entire site until Johnsons Apparalmaster took over and eventually closed it down after relocating.
There has been loads of stuff left behind such as overalls, workboots, gloves, respirators, computers, paperwork etc, in some places is does not look as though it has been empty for long.
I spent a good 3 hours here and in no way did I cover it all. I stayed away from tha back part of the site as there was a lot of activity with workers stripping out the buildings ready for demolition, which in some parts of the site does not look as if it will be long.
I am glad I got to see what I did
