Hi

don't know if you know but the right hand side tower(the higher one) is actually the nitram 2 plant which shut down in 1990 and everything in there has been left as was the square part at the top is actually a chemical plant inside the tower!
I used to work at this plant in 1989 so I know it well..
access is easy and it will make an amazing explore it's 358feet to the top and if you look carefully the little rectangular holes at the very top are hatches to look out of!

pm me for easy access instructions.

here is another pic of it

I love the pics of this place - worked here for a while and loved to travel up and down on the old paternosters. There is also an old office block on the Billingham site (past the security. Would love to see some pics of in there. It was deemed unsafe many years ago - they evacuated the staff, and closed it up. Appaently it is how it was the day it was left, there is a branc of Baclays in there and loads of other stuff. There are some great art deco building on Wilton site as well - just left as if the staff walked out of them yesterday - wish I could get to see some of these. Keep up the good work.
