Frears/Nabisco Factory, Leicester

[Goldie87]

This is the old Frears Bakery (later Nabisco) Ive been wanting to do this one for a while. The site is currently under demolition to make way for an Aldi store. Visited with Mr Sam. A lot of it is just big empty factory floors. I've just tried to show the smaller and more interesting parts in the pics...

Funky colors through the windows

Chair shot

This was a fantastic 1950's staircase, unfortunately none of my pics do it justice

Factory floor

On the first floor

Lift motor

This bit was full of gloves, whatever football team you support, there will be a pair of gloves for you here!

Time has stopped

Cool pics guys. Did you try anything from the fridge

 

[smileysal]

Like seeing the lift motor, and the different colours coming through the glass windows.

The stuff in the fridge looks well dodgy lmao. I could do with the sugar tho lmoa.

Cheers guys,

Sal

Nice shots - that fridge doesn't look nice... but surprised you got the shots as it was sooo dark.

 

[Goldie87]

Cheers for the comments people. Im quite pleased how my first few shots turned out what with the poor lighting and my crappy little digicam lol. Sorry Kezza, I should have text you. We just randomly decided to go out late in the evening lol. Sal, it isn't next to a railway line, not sure where your thinking of lol. Oh, and welcome waynezbitz1

I bet that Coke in the fridge tastes rank!

Interesting stuff there guys.
Why is it, I wonder, that there is always a mug like the one on top of the fridge in every institution/workplace I've ever seen? Probably the same reason you always see a copy of 'The Moon's a Balloon' by David Niven in every charity shop. Now, if we knew why, we might be onto something!

I worked here!

I was directed here by a friend after telling a story about when I worked at Nabisco's on my blog. It was in 1987 so I suppose I should not be surprised that 20 years later it is about to be knocked down, and I presume has been by now. Great pictures. I especially love the first one with the colours and the one of the clock. That one is a bit creepy-I used to start work at 10 each night! Thanks from an ex biscuit packer!
