As a former employee of BUSM 1988 - 1997, i can tell you the best places to visit within this site are below ground (especially under the main building) this is a HUGE run of levels and passages with sealed doors and stored pieces from WWII

My old company sold some machines to this place and I was a regular visitor right through the 90's. Its so tragic that all our shoe making and associated industries have all dissappeared abroad.

Nice to see round the place though even if it is a bit emptier than last time I was there.
