Explored with Raz after missing out on the last trip

Background;

Croda was originally owned by Price's Patent Candle Company. In 1853, Palm oil was brought into Liverpool and so the company needed a site to use the palm oil closer to Liverpool than taking it to London by boat. The company build what is now Bromborough Pool village and opened a new factory in Bromborough. The factory opened in 1855 and the company went from having 84 staff in 1840 to a remarkable 2300.

(Borrowed from Coolboyslim who borrowed from Lavino - Hope thats okay lads (y) )

The Explore;

We arrived at Sunlight Port after a Macdonalds and a swift drive through Liverpool under the Mersey tunnel, and saw that a demolition company has already started on pulling the place down, and with that secca had been employed to protect the 360's and keep pesky explorers out... Not a problem, makes it more fun ;)

Generally the place is a bit trashed but still it has some nice parts as im sure you will see below. Time of year is an issue with this place as the high winds at the weekend were shaking the building all over the place at the top. I dont envy Raz who climbed the towers. Sod that!!!

On wit' pics; (Yorkshire Dialect - Need to Translate?)
