Art Deco building in barry - Pic Heavy

[fatdeeman]

Another old one I looked at with cardiffrail, a lovely looking building, was apparently last occupied by a sign writing company before a fairly serious fire.

We also found that one area of the place had been used to film prison scenes for some unknown production with false cell doors etc.

Nice staircase:

Gotta have a picture of the throne!

Melted android heart?

My intitials! - Not my **** graffiti though

Fire damage:

More fire damage:

Spot the porn:

Where's Wally?

Old skool

Squatters?

Sadly I went back not long after to take some shots with models but this is the sight that greeted me

The end.

Although badly trashed it was still a cool looking building. Thanks for such a good report, fdm.

I take it the amazing fairground junkyard about 100 yards up the road is gone too then?

 

[fatdeeman]

If you mean the place with little kids rides and fruit machines etc then it was still there when I checked last and found the other building demolished but I don't know if it's still there now.

My family used to have an electric cooker like the one dumped there.

 

[cardiffrail]

Nice pics mate. I was gutted when that one went. The last time I drove past, about 6 months ago, the shed that contained the fairground stuff was still there, but didn't have time to stop and look.

Thats a lovely art deco building, well it was anyway. Shame most of its features were ruined in its decay, mind you I bet it was nicer before its occupants painted it white so you could blame them as much as the vandals.

damn shame I like nice 30's stuff like that! polished concreate staircase is a nice touch

 

[Foxie]

Amazing looking place, shame what happened, Thanks

Cool looking building, almost all the different types of decay are represented hear, realy like the shot of the cross section of the wire

 

[Nigelwyn]

Any of your shots would have made a good post. shame it was demolished. An art deco building like that must surely have been listed.

What a shocking end to a lovely building. Loved that curved front of the building, and those stairs. You'd have hoped it would have been listed, another lovely building gone.

CHeers for the pics, i liked this building, even with the fire damage. The outside was lovely.

Yeah, nice building, good use of b&w and sepia. Good work.

Nice explore, and a great set of pics. The cooker I can understand, but a washing machine? wonder what they washed. Wayne

Darn lucky to have got in there, documented the place, gotten a truckload of great pics before it was demolished.
Love all that Deco stuff. Don't see much of it anymore.
