Gerrards Soap Factory

[smileysal]

Huh huh, just found these pics of the outside of the old Cussons (formerly Gerrards) factory in Nottingham.

Visited a few months ago with Ab$olut and Potter. We only did the photos of the outside, but hoping to keep an eye on the place to maybe do an inside visit. but sadly that hasn't happened as yet.

At the front of the building there was a security portocabin and a couple of cars, and also a Digger (part of the place had been already demolished), the offices are at the front of the factory, on Wilkinson Street, and they all looked intact. and the old stone part of the factory is still there also. anyhow, hope these pics work this time

this is a view of the back of the building, from the railway bridge.

view looking back up the lane.

And a few more.

part of the building being demolished.

Silo type things.

Loads and loads of tubes

Sorry, thought i had more pics. will go back soon and take some more, (if the bloody camera decides to start working again.

Ta very much for adding those pics Potter

It might just be me eyes playing tricks -but I could swear that the letters on the wall are made up from bars of soap -perhaps "Imperial Leather"?

It will be interesting to see how we can get round the fencing.

We'll find a way
