Tulip Foods Ltd, Coalville, Leicestershire - Aug '15

[Punk]

Explored with The Stig and two non-members

History

Originally a Co-op Bakery, this was built in the 60’s and employed 40 people. In the early 90’s, Co-op sold the building to a new business called Belvoir foods Ltd(later becoming Belvoir Bacon Ltd). In 2007, Tulip Ltd bought Belvoir Bacon Ltd and moved the business to Bardon Industrial Estate. Soon after, TS Bloors briefly used the ground floor, converting this part of the building into cold storage. Since Tulip left the premises, The upper floors have been left empty, only local kids have been bothered with this part. It was constructed close to a well and next to the railway for more efficient production and transport.

Currently for sale for £250k

Explore

I've attempted this a couple of times before but was attacked by locals, throwing rocks on both occasions. This is very close to the town centre(if you can call Coalville that). Luckily on this day, we only encountered a taxi driver who eventually buggered off after 20 mins. Quick little explore to end an eventful day. There is minimal damage considering it's location
