We spent a day mooching around Stoke and while this place has been covered loads we've had it on our list for a while so decided to have a look while we were there. History - There's very little to be found on this place. G Yorke and sons manufactured brushes and brooms. It looks like it was...

Dairy Crest factory at Torrington Devon November 2020, a very interesting set of buildings abandoned since 1993. Love some the graffiti in there, some real talent. Next time I visit I’ll put the drone up and maybe explore more of the place.
