After failing to find a way in to another building, I came across this place!
It is next door to Mossley Rubber Works – a place I photographed and featured last year. It’s not far from Mancunian Way on an old industrial estate in Manchester.
When I did that shoot, this place was still a live site. Not any more, the roof is totally gone from most of the site and lots of debris is lying around.
I did a night shoot primarily and then returned the following day to hold a photo shoot for a musician friend.
The shots I got of him were well received but not appropriate for here, the two big pipes were really the centrepiece of the site.
The main premises’ appears to be a plastics and colouring works as far as I could tell. Can anyone else shed light on it? It is unlikely to still be standing.

I aimed my flash gun into the pipe to get this effect, and yes – hrd’d but it needed enhancing. The blue effect is a clash of white balances.
