Intro
This place is one of those, the moment you see it you want to go that was the case for us.
Initially we had been put off due to the "armed security" and constant patrols. After a lot of waiting we went and hoped for the best.
The risk was worth the reward.
The Site
Dating back to 1874 these works have produced sodium carbonate common in cleaning products, dyes, fertilizers and other such products.
The works have been operated under Brunner Mond, Imperial Chemical Industries, and TATA Chemical Europe. The works were also responsible for "accidentally" creating polythene in 1933 during an experiment.
TATA Europe closed these works in 2014 along with the attached power station responsible for power supply.
The Explore
The sun was rising and we had finally stumbled out of the car along with drive through breakfast.
Then we had to start sneaking through the woodlands, open land and buildings to get to our first target.
Initially we had been on high alert for the heavy security and after what felt like 20 minutes, which was actually 2 and a half hours, we realsied we got lucky.
As midday rolled on we had seen what we wanted and decided to leave. Which of all the times security decided to patrol.
GREAT.
Anyways.
