Hi all, made a visit to the labs today... FINALLY! Been waiting to do this one for ages, so was good to go for a look around today! Access was... interesting, but nevermind, we got in and back out again!
Some history on the place since some of you have asked... The Labs were built during the First World War to aid the production of Cordite from the Factory across the road. They were used for 'quality control' tests, ensuring that the materials produced were of a high standard. After World War 2 production of Cordite at Holton Heath stopped and it was eventually passed over for Defence Research, who left the site in the 1990s
LOL! :laugh
The good old chair shot!
These vandals are so impolite sometimes! (blood was added in Photoshop - no need to be alarmed!)
Wondered if I could get away with some weird colours on this one... at least it isn't HDR!
I hope you liked them, there's a few more on my Flickr: Exploration - a set on Flickr
