Came to this wonderfull site over two visits. The the second time right after an emergency standby shift. An "all nighter", well that's what I'm booking anyway. It was great watching the sunrise and varying lightplay coming through the windows of the workshops, onto the array of machinery. The guys who worked here certainly loved their nudey calenders. Loads of jazz mags littered around and 70s (hairy)porn playing cards scattered about.
As I say this was my second visit. I wanted to come back and have a play with a 24mm prime I just treated myself to. Except I suffered an epic resolution fail. The night before I took some shots for an ebay sale. I'd selected the lowest res on my camera 720x480 and forgot to switch it back FFS so apologies for the varying quality of the shots. Although upscaling them to 1024x638 with a smidge of sharpening didn't make them turn out as bad as I thought.

The original site in Willenhall at Doctors Piece was once a piece of land belonging to Doctor Richard Wilkes, which eventually passed into the ownership of the Chapel of Ease estate. During the cholera epidemic in 1849, the land at the side of the forge was hastily turned into a burial ground and some 211 victims are believed to buried there.
George Dyke has produced metal forgings for nearly 200 years and during this time it has been able to establish itself as a major name working at the forefront of the metal forgings industry.
Looks like Magneto had a go at these gates since Speed's visit.
