Low Hall Mill, Holbeck. Leeds

On a snowy, gloomy evening Ultrix and I ventured out into the unknown hoping to find somewhere suitably exciting to explore after a recent urbex drought. After debating where to go I suggested we try an old mill in Holbeck which I had recced on an earlier expedition.

When we arrived we were greeted by an eerie, rustic looking mill which was surrounded by a 24 hour car repair garage and situated just off a main road.

After a breif exploration of the outside we realised that the sooner we made access the better due to the public presence next door.

Once we were inside we were met by a gamers mecca; the walls were lined with vintage arcade machines, jukeboxes and arcade memorabilia. The machines seemed as though they were untouched by the hands of time which was a gross comparison to the building they inhabited.

I really enjoyed the whole evening but I have to say my find of the night was a 1970's cocktail table featuring a game called "Moon Attack". Although the table had seen better days it added to the whole ambience of the evening and really topped a great night off.

After a few hours of photography in this interesting site we heard a banging downstairs and figured it was probably best to call it a day.

One of my favorite explores to date, and it was great suprise to find such a gem. Glad to see Ultrix back in action, hopefully next time will be just as eventfull!

Thanks for looking.
 
That was certainly a bit of luck finding that! :)

The old games machines look fantastic with all the circuit boards and that :)
 
No way! - This kit should be in a museum........ it's 30+ years old in reality but times have moved on a lot quicker in terms of technology........ loving the cocktail table, and the wood veneer looks smashing....... Tis a real shame to see people abandoning history like this! (but it makes for a fantastic post....... Thanks!!)
 
What a great find. I remember playing on the Asteriods "Table" at me local Swimming Pool for hours "back in the day". For me, those arcade tables were the Big Daddy of the Atari 2600, with all that "wood effect" veneer :mrgreen: Nice looking Mill entrance too. Cheers for this trip down memory lane :)

Great stuff. Do you think the stuff was just being stored it, or was it an amusement centre in a previous life. Bearing in mind the location, I'd say the former was more likely.
