Attendance: Forsaken, Well Wasp, Emotive69 and Horus
History: Pilkingtons established in Lancashire 1826. The Doncaster plant was established in the early 1920s and was a huge employer in the region aswell as investing at huge expense in new technologies in the manufacture of glass plates. The plant was still running up to December 1998 and is now a huge sad mothball of history to yet another great British engineering company.
A nice snowy scene to greet us , the Pilkington plant on the left of shot.
Loving the old red signage , goes well with all this red martian dust or whatever it is !
Stair Porn …
And open door depth of field porn ….
Big Brother ? , or Sky+ Multipack , not sure ..
Every good urbex has a table full of keys …
The stairs to the top located and time for a higher viewpoint and some crane fun …
Took some bottle to get up there lol
Tarantino seemed to have left just before we arrived ….
We had a trip to Thorpe Marsh too just to see the old girl before she went and this is one of the few shots taken there as already been plenty of reports from there !
