Willis & Gambler is situated in Saffron Walden. Starting life in 1990 as a bed designer and importer based in Takeley, Willis & Gambier moved to the Radwinter Road site in 1998. In June 2008 they leased a 545,000sq ft warehouse in Peterborough.
The company sold its products to top of the range stores, such as John Lewis, House of Fraser, Laura Ashley and Marks and Spencer.
In 2008 the company was closed down after going in to administration.
I visited this place after trying to find somewhere else but that place turned out not to be derelict at all so thought we would try here, you could tell it wasn't going to be pretty inside, every single window was smashed as we walked up to it. Access was relatively easy and there was no one on site at all other than a few dead birds.
Just a massive empty space really with a few cool bits of graffiti. That is basically it but thought I'd share.
Loading bays from the inside
There was a lot of ramps about, obviously the skater boys had been in
I have found newspaper at every single place I've been to recently, 1982, I was 4!
Loved this
