History
John Heath established his stationery business in 1852, delivering office products around the Birmingham area and later into other parts of the country. Kingfield Heath was formed in October 1999 by the acquisition of John Heath and Co, the oldest office products wholesaler in the UK, by Kingfield Wholesale Office Supplies.

The Explore
I've done this building a few times before, there isn't much left of it but there is still evidence of what it used to be- such as old VHS tapes and documents. Being in Digbeth it is extremely dodgy and has been turned into a drugs den (we did bump into a group of druggies on one visit there). ​

That's Bradford for you! This place was covered in needles, we also came across a bong made of paint bottles

Nothing quite like wading through a sea of smack needles in your local derp avoiding a herd of druugies (y)

Bet this place would have been nice a few years back

Exactly :p There were some fancier looking parts of the building which we couldn't seem to find, unless we did and it was just really far gone  :sad:

I'm pretty sure there's a report of it on 28 days later from a while back before it went to shit
