OK, a bit about it. When I mean a bit, that is literally it. :D

Fisons plc was a British multinational pharmaceutical, scientific instruments and horticultural chemicals company headquartered in Ipswich, United Kingdom. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It was acquired by Rhone-Poulenc in 1995.

The Explore,

After reading loads of stuff online about this place, security, entry etc decided to go and take a look. Got in, constantly looking over our shoulder for dogs but none. No one on site all day. The site is vast. The timber buildings are breathtakingly beautiful and I spent quite a lot of time in them. A number of stories high, the higher you get the more dangerous it is. Equipped with the shutes these made a great picture!

Prone to the elements even someone of my size and weight daintily creeping across the third level was making the boards bounce under my feet! Very mossy, which looks really pretty in itself and you can see nature staring to reclaim it, even 3 stories high! That was the highest I went. A full length conveyor belt was quite a nice find, a few admin buildings which have been trashed. A mechanics garage which I can imagine was used for the vehicles on site and again some small timber buildings. Its a lovely site to explore if you like this kinda thing, I would go back as it's very photogenic.

Sorry if its a bit pic heavy!

Enjoy!
