Croda Chemical Factory - Wirral - September 2015

[R0tt3nW00d]

A bit of History:

The plant started operating in 1855 and employed over 2000 workers at the hight of its trade. It has had other names over the years but Croda being the most commonly known in recent times. The plant unfortunately closed in 2009, which did cause over 100 staff to loose their jobs, but they very kindly spent £40 million on turning this danger hazard into a playground for us adventurers!

The Explore:

This one was explored with Raz and Fat Panda..

As we arrived, true to their nature, we had council workers opposite our entrance just wasting air as they sat there motionless in their van. We took a wander around the site and managed to find our way in after having a lovely chat with one of the local scum bags who just could not understand why we weren't going in to steal anything... Anyway after creeping around a little we came to the conclusion there was no secca onsite. Now with freedom to explore we wandered freely. Unfortunately I could not make it up the towers as my jelly legs would not allow me to but all in all it was a fun explore.

This is the first report I have uploaded so any pointers would be great

​

Thanks for looking this far

To centre the pics like Raz was saying just highlight the codes before you post the report and click the little centre button. Same icon as Microsoft word. I'll do it on this one if you like?
