Torrington dairy, Torrington , Devon , sept 2011

hi all now im aware this ones been on the map for ages if you live in the southwest but seeing as iv not done a report for ages i though id post up my recent foray into north devon

this place is pretty big , was in there for at least a couple of hours and we still spotted stuff to look at on the way out :/

its essentially a 1930s art deco style industrial building (that parts nice to look at) there are some late 80s add ons that look a bit ... well modern (in a distinctly 80s way)

it is seriously smashed up though, which is a shame cant help thinking if it was pristine and as it was in 1993 when it closed with all the equipment in place it would be better (thats kind of an urbex rarety though)

there is however some very interesting graffiti in the place, some of it is highly impressive !

the history is a bit patchy but there has been a dairy operation on the site starting in 1874 as a buttery, this then progressed until what you see there now.

the site closed in 1993 due to a fire in the drying tower.

anywho enjoy






the view as you walk in










the drying tower
















just for an idea of scale the door way is only halfway up the building !

thanks for looking
