Right then, hopefully this'll be my first report that isn't relegated to the hidden section of the forum.
Not a lot of history on this place since it seemingly stopped operating as an incinerator a couple of years before I was born, and the rest was borrowed from wombat's report. "The incinerator opened in the 1970s, and closed possibly around 1991. The site continued to be used by the county council as a tip until 2011. The chimney was demolished at least 12 years ago."
I've been here several times when the site was in use as a tip as I only live a few villages away, but never actually knew what was inside the building. I only discovered that it was an incinerator recently and as I'm at uni now I've had to wait for an opportunity to catch the urbex tourist train. I decided I was paying it a visit today, and as nobody wanted to come along it was a solo explore. Access was pretty easy, and even better I could park less than 20 metres from the gate . I really wish I'd brought my 10-20 home instead of the 17-50, 17mm isn't really wide enough for this place, and that lens would probably have coped better with the flare. Anyway, on with the pics:
The main gate, looks pretty boring
An external after exiting the building, during a thunderstorm
...and I'm in
Looks like the metal fairies have been in
The room where the tip 'office' was located
Now down to business...
Thanks for looking,
