This was built ( presumably ) at the end of the 18th or early 19th century, and was known as Chisworth Works. They were cotton band manufacturers. It's also had It's fair share of extensions in the past, which probably took place before 1857 as the buildings remained the same on maps up until 1973.

In 1973 It became a Dye & Color Pigment Works known as E.P.Bray's.

And I kid you not! This place is more akin to a Slaughter House :eek: All will become clear folks.

At the front there is a row of cottages that were used for the workers. The reception was in one of these.

The company started to wind up In 2006, It was dissolved/liquidised and closed in September the same year.

Visited with my other half, and shots from both of us. Nice relaxed trouble free explore.

The reception and enquiries.

Overgrown back gardens, and a chicken coop?

Could easily pass as one.

Especially when It comes complete with drainage channels.

I would imagine the site will will be deemed contaminated for a long while once It's gone.

Nice pics (y)

I left this place fairly quickly after a few loud owl hoots and a couple of huge bangs, may have just been the passing storm scaring a resident owl, but decided retreat was better than finding out. Had just got upstairs to the lab too!
