Courage Brewery Dec 2010
What a day, visited with Mookster, had to do a return trip because last time I didn't bring my camera. Spent the day here and also rooting through all sorts of tat in several vintage shops we found, great to catch up with a good mate and an epic site to visit too.The odd thing about this site is the majority of the lights and electric is on so it always feel a bit unnerving, especially on entering, a real adrenaline rush.
The Laboratory, a nice part of the site although a little damaged now, very poor lighting though so photos are hard, this is the same for most of the site.
The large fibreglass "Corridors" on the roof were rather interesting, and made for some good photos.
More fibreglass, the whole of this part of the site glowed red, a very odd sight.
Still on the roof.
There wasnt any co2.
The outside of the fibreglass corridors.
Inside the brewhouse (I think).
These big hoppers were massive!
I find metal in the dark is really hard to photograph.
there must have been 20-30 of these around.
Inside another part of the brewery.
The damage in this part ruins the photo.
Massive tanks!
Natural light is so much nicer than flash.
These lifts work, I didnt try them this time but my last visit it started going up when I pressed the button!
This room was truly epic.
I wish I had thought of looking round when it was in use these really are massive.
The other side, in natural light.
Looking from above.
The awesome control room!
Loved these little dials.
Must have cost hundreds to machine these...
Back downstairs...
A lot of things were on pallets ready for auction.
Although I will not release any information on access whatsoever, and neither will Mookster, I do suggest if you want to see this place, see it quick. A lot of the things inside had auction stickers on them and it seems it will be just a shell this time next year, probably a lot earlier. A wonderful place and only takes a few hours to get around, the lights keep you on edge as does the constant dripping and creaking of the metal.
Also, make sure to prop any doors that you open, some of them don't have handles the other side, particularly the roof.
Looking back on the brewery.
