GMF & Dewhurst, Ystalfera, Swansea - April 08
My Brother & I were told about the old Dewhurst factory in Ystalfera and wanted to take a look.
We located the place, got in and started walking around, took loads of pics.
We found a boiler room, took a few more and turned to go out of the door.
I looked up and saw the dreaded red blinking PIR light , pointed it out to RB and calmly but speedily left the area.
Once we were outside, we decided to take 5 and wait to see what the response was.
We waited 30mins and no-one turned up and as we turned to leave, I saw the sign over the door of the factory was GMF, we looked to our right and there was the Dewhurst factory.
So we decided to take a look in there as well. both great places, if a bit chavved up and mostly stripped.
The GMF Factory.
A shot down the side.
Obviously had an auction at some time.
Obligatory long distance shot.
I like anything with "controlled" written on it.
Old invoice.
Incoming 3 phase.
These ones below are from the Dewhurst site.
Some trashed phone kit.
In the boiler room.
"Arty" shot of the heating pipe.
Interesting fire protection system. ty-wrap melts, releases the wire.
Which releases the lever with the weight on.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
