I think this place used to be called Salmon & Gibbs. I've lived near Brackley for nearly twenty years, but I remember very little of this place, and there doesn't seem to be much about it online. It closed back in 2007, and since then has lain disused.
I believe that the land has got planning permission for 130 houses, but I believe that there is a dispute with local landowners (over a ridiculously small overlapping patch of land, by all accounts). It also looks from planning documents as though the Brackley bat community have a thing or two to say, although there is the potential of them being mollified by the construction of a bat barn!
The planning document described the area thusly:
One pretty smashed looking house and one not so bad. Apparently these were built so that there could be a round the clock presence at the sawmill - can't think why that was needed personally.
Someone showed those lavs!
Tanalised timber - a product that has been pressure treated with Tanalith E. It was hard to tell whether these cameras were on or not, but I was quite wary of them all the same.
This building looked like a loading bay, but its contents were quite mystifying. It was full of Orange brochures like the ones seen above - all aimed at Synergy in the workplace, workplace culture bla bla bla. It was too dark to sit down and have a good read unfortunately.
Lots more to be explored but darkness drew in too quickly. Anyway, thanks for looking!

Sounds like nothing needs changing to me! Anyway, the pictures:
