We went into this place blind as it was totally unplanned. The majority of the building is wide open and so we decided to check it out not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised with how large the building is and the amount of rooms to explore. It seems this place became abit of a rave hot-stop during the Covid-19 lockdowns with some scouse humour graffiti’d across the walls. Overall not a bad explore but nothing spectacular.
History -
The Regent Road premises had originally been the marine engineering North Works of H. And C. Grayson. Later in the 1950s rebranded as Merseyside Food Products which operated a margarine factory out of a large complex in Bootle. The company produced the finest margarines, edible oils and shortenings including pastry fats, and supplied many major food manufacturers in the UK. At its peak, Merseyside Food Products had around 250 employees, however the factory fell into a decline after highly respected Head of Operations Leo Gurwitsch retired in the 1990s. The factory later closed for good in 2001.
The rear of the complex is known as Brunswick Engine Works and was last operated by The Sandon Motor & Engineering Co Ltd, a car and auto parts company.
