Another season; another backlog, this shiftwork sure makes you a bit slower! I visited this site back at the end of March with Mookster and a non forum member. I have posted several reports after this one, but for some reason this one slipped the net.

It was operated by Pilkington Glass up until the 1960's where sand was washed prior to the production of glass.

The site is in St Helens, Merseyside and is an absolute mission to get into through mud, undergrowth and then in through a rust water filled basement. Its a wonder non f us fell into the water.

I Accidentally shot these in JPEG so the editing is a bit ropey.
