Thanks to DesertionPhotography, Frosty and co for showing me this place.
One word, F**ked! Well OK, if you look beyond the initial destruction you can still work out how the place functioned. There are 24 grow rooms, 12 down each side of a central corridor which were all environmentally controlled, heating lighting ventilation and humidity. I presume they grew the mushrooms in rotation, while one room was being harvested, another room was being setup. There's also a large packing and loading area, staff rooms and offices, but the whole place has suffered badly at the hands of the local copper thieves, which is hardly surprising considering its semi rural location.
The thing that got me about the whole place was the sheer amount of stuff that's been left, boxes and packaging, loads of paperwork showing a grim financial situation, records of orders and shipments etc. and loads of paraphernalia used in the cultivation, most of which is in pretty good nik! I wonder how much this place must have cost to setup initially, as it's a pretty expensive setup by the looks of it.
Anyway, on with a few photos.
This is the corridor that runs the entire length of the building, with the grow rooms off each side of it.
And this is what one of the grow rooms looks like inside
There are piles of stuff in some of the grow rooms just left there.
I presume this was for loading trucks etc.
There's a huuuuge fridge which is still pretty clean it has to be said
And the gear that runs it. At first I thought this was a generator, but after a while I realised it's actually a massive compressor for the refrigerator gear.
Some of the products they Produced (this stuff didn't smell very nice)
Like most places of its type it's not terrible interesting, but if you look hard enough there's still enough bits and pieces to make it worthwhile
Maniac.
