Report - Rowntree's/Nestle's York - November 2014

[GPSJim]

I've had my eye on this place for some time and have had numerous fails, but those of you who know me know I'm not a quitter! Rocked up here with Mr Dan at the end of a very very busy Urbex weekend!
The day was quickly coming to an end and we knew our hours of light were restricted, so forgive if these were a little more rushed than usual.

I've not seen this place appear online much and it's probably because the security are always quick to keep it secure. On a revisit recently with a non-member it had been secured once again, so save that wasted journey!

The building's offices have been trashed at some point, not sure when, but the old factory floors show some excellent timber flooring and is still in great condition. Pigeons dominate the stairs towards the top of the building and Mr Dan almost got 'nuked' while following me to the roof Since a lot of the original building has been demolished and all that is left is the main front it makes for an interesting explore since you can't access places you would think would be easily accessed... Anyway, on with the pictures.

Thanks for looking!

Hi, me and a non member gained entry here into a big hall/room thing on the ground floor but couldn't get anywhere else as we couldn't find a staircase, would it be possible for you to tell me the location if the stair case please?
