Don't know why I have only just discovered this place, wish I'd of got in years ago but ah well still a great explore.
Another 2am explore with a non member (think I need to work till midnight more often, it gets me out!)
anyways, rambo entrance, kept the head torches off apart from the pics, was fun finding our way around, first thing was the roof! as always.

History - copied from another thread.
Bowman Thompson & Company originally owned the site but was sold in 1900 to Brunner Mond whom with a seven year closure reconstructed the site producing sixty tonnes of soda ash a day. This figure rose to 800 tonnes a day in 1926 with all of the Brunner Mond assets being turned over to ICI.
Lostock a coal fired powerstation was decommissioned in 2000 when E.ON built there new Combined Heat & Power plant at Winnington, Lostock is due to be flattened for a new Sustainable Energy Plant to be built on the site.
