Grain Mills, Gt Yarmouth - August 2009

[manof2worlds]

Took a look around this disused site after many months of pondering.

Been abandoned since the 1990's and it showed. Pidgeon by-products were very much in evidence in a couple of buildings, but the place did have an amazing feel to it. More to come soon (when I can sort out a Flickr Pro account - lol)!!!

Hope you like them

Dude,

Did you shoot the Rabies sign on the door in the small unit to the right of the plant? I shot this place, was cool

 

[manof2worlds]

@Sophos9 - nope, missed that one (you may have asked me this before - lol). Your pics of this site are awesome. As soon as I can upgrade to digital SLR I'll be going back. I got more pics of the offices which I'll put up soon (as in when I get a Flickr Pro account - lol)

 

[sophos9]

Rabies is a killer

What the hell went on here? (hope you dont mind the pic?)

 

[manof2worlds]

wasn't there a petrol pump in this building?

 

[sophos9]

Not sure?

I found a load of criminal conviction print outs when in the building to the left (one thats been burnt out) - wonder how they got there?

Nice find and pics, Manof2w.

@Foxylady: thanks for that It is well moochable

Hello Matey I accepted your Friendship request! Awesome shots, this was my first ever explore way back in Feb! Its a lovely place to go and shoot! I wouldnt want to go up the Silos though! Well done! what do you think of the Derelict Art college in Yarmouth! worth a try?

 

[manof2worlds]

@Black Shuck: oh yes - I remember as kid looking at that place thinking it was something more than it was - fertile imagination - lol. So, yes, I'm game for it

Cool Mate! I can see a Burgeoning Partnership here! awesome! I never realised that the so called Grain Factory was actually a Fishmeal Factory.Can you remember the Old Coasters on the Quay?

There is a Petrol Pump near the Office.

@Black Shuck: when you talk about coasters are you talking about the likes of the Norwich Belle, the Golden Galleon and the Queen of the broads? If so, then yes I do remember them very well and went on them several times during my childhood.

Sounds good to me dude - let's get in contact and crack the Art College. There's a few sites in Norwich as well which are veritable jewels in the crown

I'm researching them for the uber urbex kudos

Theres a complete maze of underground tunnels however much has been lost in history - locating access points is difficult tho, need to speak to historians...

 

[manof2worlds]

Didn't know about that one!!! I'm looking at a couple of large abandoned office blocks close to St Crispins and St Augustines, an old asylum, an old boarded up shop close to Anglia Square and an office block in the city centre. All seem to be challenges. I like a challenge ;-)

There's loads in and around Norwich, Gt Yarmouth and Bungay (Wainford has 2 very interesting locations that I'm scoping).

A joint venture would be a cool prospect, 2 eyes being better than 1 etc.
