Great Britain Jeld-Wen joinery factory 2013

[Unexposed Exploration]

Hello everyone!

For my second post i decided to do somewhere close to home.

This is a very little known location and i only known of 9 photographers to have ever been inside!

Jeld-Wen (Boulton and Paul) Closed its joinery factory in June 2010. With the loss of more than 190 jobs, and since then the waterfront 36-acre site has remained vacant.

The Staff at Jeld Wen treated wood to be made into doors, window frames and stairs at the company's other factories.

I have wanted to visit this site for years as it looks interesting from the road!

After finding out they have 24 hour security i didn't think this one would be possible.

But one day we thought fuck it and gave it a go.....

I have visited the site over 12 times and only being caught once - In the snow!

Anyway on with the photos! Hope everyone enjoys this one!!

Please give feedback!!

Here are some photos of the outside and the workhouse when it was still in use!















































Maybe going on a snowy day was not the best idea!!



So we decided to leave and just as we where leaving this happened!!

Fantastic sooooo glad it's been done, we tried to sweettalk the security guard lol as I don't fancy the prickly fences. He said that it's soon to be demolished. Well done for getting in there I've had me eye on this place, great pics.
