Forest Mills Nottingham various visits 09

first of all big thanks to layz ( kaiser) for showing me this place,absolute diamond of a bloke and very clever

been here a few times and every time i see things different this really is a huge site
with various things in the building from a car workshop to a prostitutes rest area to a sound studio and even a few rooms full of kitchens and even arcade machines
also was told by layz that there was a baths on the site and today finally got a quick look inside but not alot to see as the pool has been filled in and its now used as storage

im going to try and do some digging see if i can get any history on this site so bear with me

Bradgate still there? I want to go but heard it was fully trashed or even demo'd

Very nice pictures and location

I like the corridor shot. I won't lie, a lot of the shots are (to me) mediocre, but hey it's still documentation nonetheless. The one of the Window would be a cracker if it were straightened up a little tho.

I'm sorry mate, but are you sure you're on the right forum? This is a forum to document derelict places, the clue is in the title, not a photography forum. We're all here to document buildings before they get either demolished or converted, as these buildings are a part of our history.

Anyhow, onto the pics, like the workout in the gym lads, and nice to see the drawings of the leotards. on that made up bed in there, was someone living in there? :/

like the different areas of the building, and love those cars.

Nice work guys,

Sal

DHL, I'm flattered, other people would simply have called me a nerd, but I just like old buildings.
Was a pleasure to explore with you, will let you know when I'm back oop North.
