Crown Maltings - Burton-on-Trent

[Decender]

I haven't done any explores for what seems like an eternity for one reason or another. So when someone told me that this place had opened up again right on my doorstep I thought it would be rude not to pop and have a mooch.

I can't find much history about this place other than it used to be part of a larger site of maltings in the area, most of which were demolished in the late 60's but a few remained. A few years ago more were demolished including an old brewery site, but this one still stands. Half the site is inaccessable due to still being in use, and what is accessable is in a pretty sorry state. Woodern floors on the lower levels are not in the best condition in places, but the concrete floors higher up a solid enough. There were a few areas we saw through broken floor boards that looked interesting, but could't figure out how to them. And although there is a basement, this seemed a little illusive aswell.

If anyone else knows of any history of this place, please feel free to post.

Anyway, on with the shots.

Some really nice shots here. I really like the 3rd to last one.

Thanks m8. The light through the roof on the upper floors is pretty cool.

Really nice moody shots. I like those little boxes, they make a great shot.

Thanks for sharing

Looks good, and only around the corner for me too.

Doesn't look like much left in there but you came away with some decent moody shots

Yeh there's not much left at all really, but I think we missed a few areas. Might pop back at some point just to satisfy my curiousity as its only 10 minutes away lol.

A lot of black but it is suitable for the location. I especially like the fourth pic with the steps and the shadow.
