This was the place I was most excited about seeing on my surprise post-America welcome back weekender, I had spent ages drooling over photos of it's lovely decay before and never thought I'd be in the right area to pop in.
It's a seriously gorgeous old factory, all wood and metal slides and rusted ironwork decaying wonderfully. We got in easy enough and spent a good few hours wandering around soaking up the peaceful atmosphere on a gorgeous sunny day, which after the fraught and stressful explore of Thamesteel was a real relief. The top floor is pretty much impassable now but most other areas are still alright if you're careful enough.
I am led to believe this was one of the first large scale fertiliser factories in the country, before it shut down in 2002. The site in the quiet picturesque village of Bramford just outside Ipswich is currently up for redevelopment so god knows what's going to happen.
Thanks for looking!
