Office Building (Chick House), Bracknell – Feb 2016

[FoxChild]

This is my first ever post! Be gentle!
This building is in the middle of a working site. I have not posted external photos of the building in case it is recognised. It has been left for about 5 - 10 years as the site back then was having some organisational changes. Employees working in the building were moved to other, more modern parts of the site and the building was finally closed down. (No gas, electric or water).
The building is also referred to as the ‘Chick House’ because at one point in its history it was apparently used to rear chicks. I have also heard it referred to the ‘Soil Prep Lab’.


























Footprint made by the fire brigade as they carried out a practise ‘search and rescue’ drill.

First report - you're having me on! A really superb set of images; only thing missing for me was an external, but understand your reasons. First image could well have been a soil analysis lab - judging by the electrical feeds. It also could have held a number of rotating bed egg incubators, used in the chicken rearing industry. Take your pick. The living carpet is also amusing, I have some of the same growing around a large bonsai sitting on our kitchen window cill.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work, again well done!

Lovely photos and some serious mould there! I like the fern carpet too (I've got a thing about ferns).

That's a great report by any standards, let alone a first report.
That third shot is an absolute winner.
Looks a great explore too, thanks for sharing

A very good first report. I like your angles on the photos and the unusual shots. Some serious mold going on in this office. I look forward to your next report.

not bad photos for a first timer. Stuck trying to work the location. Thinking perhaps one of the many offices that were dericlict above now flattened Charles Sq?
if not.. Perhaps Wick Hill?
(sorry yes I'm from bracknell lol)
