I like graffiti and ever since I saw this place I wanted to pay it a visit, it was second on my list for the day and I was alone.

I parked up and found a way in, I could hear a generator and see a cabin on one side, so I went in a different direction. After about half hour I walked out of a building and straight in front of secco. He looked at me and ambled up while I walked down to him, he didn't say anything so I told him what I was doing and asked if he minded if I carried on. He asked how I got in and if there was anyone with me, I told him, he asked how long I wanted I told him and he said I could as long as I didn't go anywhere stupid. They have cleared between the buildings and he said they will be down in 3/4 weeks, so it looks like I got there in time.

As I was squeezing through my exit point I was face with a couple of coppers, they asked what I had been doing and ask if I knew I was trespassing, I told them that I had spoke to the secco and they were happy. They were looking for some young kids and asked if I had seen any, when I said no they just walked back to their car.

As I said, I did take some photos of the buildings but the graffiti was the main subject.

Really Nice! I did a graffitti tour through the back of bristol few years back and its was really awesome, some great examples there, I like the Alien work is quite good! Graffitti can be pretty amazing as long as its in the right place! I find graff on listed buildings and caves and places of value, incredibly stupid but the cronky industrial estate and the old sign posts etc not so much,

Nice to hear about some positive dealings with secca...

I got cup of tea and a ladder of an owner of somewhere i explored recently, So i shared my fags and my cake and i had a really relaxed explore!!

way better than loose dogs and rozzers!!!

Thanks all for the comments.

Housing?? to be honest I don't think so, the whole site is bigger than the town I live but its just in the wrong location. If you look on a map of the place, you can see above it where they have already flattened about the same size area and that is just getting overgrown.

Anyone know if this has all been cleared now?

I loved my trips here way back when
