Hello people :)
These pics were taken on two seperate visits.
Sorry if the pics are too big, they seem large to me.
History:
The GNR warehouses were constructed in 1857 by Thomas Hine for the storage of grain from the railway.
They were abandoned in the 1980s (I think).
In 2005, the bodies of two homeless women were found inside one of the buildings, and the buildings are notorious for drug addicts :eek:
Thankfully, we didn't see or hear anything except for pigeons :p

Anyway, here are my pics:

Outside:

In this building, there was a lot of nice architecture still visible, despite the graffiti.
I believe that the two homeless women were found dead in this building :eek:

Some kind of platform, probably where the carriages came in to unload the grain from the railways:

Piles of stones:

I hope you enjoyed my pics, thats all for now :thumb
 
Nice explore, nothing like that around here now :0(. Your 'cash register' would appear to what is left of a mechanical calculating machine (similar to THIS).
 
Hi there John, whereabouts do you live?
There are decent sites in every area I think
I live in East Herts. What I meant is that there are no large derelict factories round here any more, they get redeveloped immediately they are closed down like [ame="http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=18265"]THIS ONE[/ame] that I posted earlier.
 
The cash register has gone downhill in the last 3 years...

i took this in 2008
