British Iron Works, South Wales meet - February 08

[smileysal]

Whilst at the South Wales meet we went to the former British Iron Works. Not sure of its whereabouts, i just drove lmao. Anyway, on with the pics.

It was in a beautiful setting.

The former winding house

The right hand side part of the building was the first part of the managers house, the building on the left was the later managers house.

Arched door inside the house

Another view of the arched doorway

This is the sign (or whats left of it) of a former garage that was there after the iron works closed. The pit is still there underneath all the beams and roof.

The chimney, not sure if the weather has done the damage with the hole in it, or people

Another view of the chimney

A little friend either Crash or King Al found

A view of the house from the back view with Sheep explaining something.

Wales is full of places like this, a lot are untouched by chavs too which is always nice. Nice work
