Another probably well documented wander.
A little history on the place: handmade brick and roof tiles were made here since 1872 but sadly went into administration in 2009.
The owner of the brickworks in 2016 was found guilty of damaging/destroying the resting/breeding place of a wild animal of a European protected species.
The explore: this place is basically in the middle of nowhere with views for days. Inside - although most of it is rust covered and the roof falling at parts - it's just like the workers have gone for a tea break. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were able to wander freely without feeling like we were going to get asked to leave. The machinery still left inside was pretty crazy, stacks upon stacks of bricks as far as the eye could see all baring the selborne stamp all sitting like they could be shipped out to your nearest building site at any moment.
Unfortunately the office building had been sealed up but we still had a great couple of hours imagining what it would have been like when it was all up and running!
