Pianoforte

[Rubex]

From what I can gather, Pianoforte Supplies Ltd was first built in 1910, closed in 1982 and employed over 1800 people. But not much more information was available. (Thanks Mookster!)

I visited this explore with Mikeymutt. Getting in was quite entertaining to say the least - I think Mikeymutt is the Spiderman of the urbex world! :laugh:





































Thanks for looking,

Rubex

Don't know where you got 1982 from, that's it's closure date

The factory was first built in 1910 but after a fire in 1933 was constructed to it's current size and shape. It was a massive place employing over 1800 people in it's heyday. After closure 2/3 of the site was used to make car parts until 2012.

I love this place, one of my favourite industrial explores.
