Visited at the beginning of July as I was in the area and it seemed like a shame not to have a wander about for a few hours, as the weather was nice.
Having looked at the reports of this over the years, it is a shame just how trashed the place is now but is worth a butchers if you happen to be in the area.
Some of the buildings are so smashed up and decayed that the rooms are quite unrecognisable from the photos I have looked at in earlier reports of the place.
I found a good website about Octel Bromine, which tells the history of the company, explains the process of extracting bromine from the sea water and has historical photos from the site and its workers.
The pics I took were just phone snaps and are not in any particular order but hopefully I’ve captured the best of what remains of this rather desolate place.
