This was another part of the recent roadtrip myself, Muffie and Frosty have been on. Thanks to Clebby for suggesting this to us, we didn't know it was in the area. (y)

Partially live still, we accidently ran into the live section without realising it. How the guy driving the forklift we were in clear view of didn't see us I'll never know.

The Works is still used as a distribution centre, the equipment in the silos seems very much active as does the railway siding. The cement production facilities however have been idle now for more than a year, and are practically decomissioned now - asides from the odd light on here and there, most of the rest of the power is now off. However there's still a few panels buzzing away to themselves.

A great explore, spent several hours here and we still know we missed bits.

11. British engineering at it's best. If it can't be fixed, wrap it in PVC tape - that usually does the trick! (y)

Everything on this site, as you'd expect, is covered in massive layer of dust.

17. Equipment under the silos seems very much active, things clicking away and buzzing at us.

It's much much larger than fullers, definitely worth the trip :)
