Shipton-on-Cherwell Cement Works, 2012

[mookster]

Something a little closer to my home now seeing as the first thread came from Belgium! This place has sat semi-demolished since the mid 90s, a survey was carried out which found the quarry home to numerous rare fossils and wild flora and fauna so is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Most of what you see when wandering is what you get, there aren't many interiors to explore and all the ladders to the higher parts are cut off well above ground level but on a sunny cloudless unseasonably warm spring day like when I visited it's a lovely wander.

I would LOVE to get up the top of the chimney but the only ladder to the top is cut off far above the ground and has sat rusting on the outside for 20 years....

I also took a few film snaps on my T70 with Kodak ISO200 Colorplus film from Poundland. I don't have a very good scanner so the quality isn't the best, they look much better in person.

For some reason that really reminds me of the old derelict brickworks I used to play in as a kid, the buildings look really simelar.

Nice set of pics there, cheers for posting.
