History:
The Decca Company started off as a British Gramophone manufacturer however during WW2 the Decca company started producing marine radar systems, with the first systems being built in 1949.
In 1979 Racal Electronics bought Decca forming Racal-Decca Marine where radar systems continued to be built until 1997 where after the company was bought buy a US corporation, soon moving location leaving the Decca Radar building abandoned.
The Explore:
3 of the 4 of us managed to get inside, we found it to be somewhat difficult entry but it was do-able. We arrived a bit late so it was already turning dark which really put stress on my images. I was not prepared for the amount of pigeons, and in result, the mounds of bird poo. Absolutely horrific smelling and I'd advise you to wear strong breathing masks as you don't want to be breathing in the stale air and dust along with the mold found throughout. Large set of buildings though, seems like there's a main office area and a second warehouse section, with both being excellent explores!
Now the pics!
The main room we first walked into.

Only a few photos came out well, I'll try not to rush it next time since I was mixing between filming and taking photos.
Thanks for viewing!
