Report - Tarmac building materials - Little Lever, Bolton - July 2021

[MK83]

History - Not really much history on this place. It was a factory that manufactured concrete construction goods. It looks like it was opened around 1948 and closed in 2019.

Explore - We noticed an article about houses being built on the site of this place so we went for a quick look while in the area. The access is a bit of a climb. There really isn't a lot to see, some bits of machinery and a tower to climb is about it. The top floor of the tower is very dodgy and the floor moves a lot when you walk on it. Everything that can be set on fire has been in this place. Quite a shocking amount of destruction considering it hasn't really been closed that long.

Thanks for looking.

Still worth a poke around. Good job. Bloody fires annoy the hell out of me.

With these random finds you never know what your gonna find until you go in. Was somewhat underwhelming when we got in but you never know unless you look.

Well, there’s definitely a stone crusher in that place. We had one in Bath which has been covered on here a while back. Tarmac owned that place too... and It’s been shut for 30 years. Funny that they just leave these places to fall to pieces. But good that they do as we wouldn’t have nowhere to explore.
