Having worked here as secca in the past I'd thought I'd snap some pictures for my first post (be gentle!). This was a production factory that made double glazing windows and doors and was running up until 2008/2009. Although the company pulled out of the site and the town they are still trading in Doncaster. As you can see from the pictures the site is very large and there were approx 400 employees at the height of production. The main factory buildings and outlets have been bordered up securely to prevent access and I was told that a recent asbestos survey confirmed large amounts nearly everywhere. Security on here is fairly tight with a manned gatehouse. Since the closure the agents have been trying to sell the land off in small parts but so far have only managed to lease it a company using part of the site for offshore fabrication work and the Fire Service for training. The majority of the buildings are intact (ie no vandalism) and most are now home to the local seagull population.
