Explored with Inside the Prohibited & a non member

Background;

Murphy's was established in 1930 as a tool and belt driven machinery manufacturers specialising in tanning and leather machines.

They closed in 2002 after a huge decline in the demand for such machinery.

The Explore;

I'd been here once before with Raz and never expected to go back, however after a slight miscalculation (meaning to go to pilkington at Kirk Sandal and ending up in Kirk Woodhouse) we found ourselves nearby so popped out heads in for a look around.

As you've seen in many reports there is a room with some rather graphic wall paper which disgusted one of our party so much i felt i couldn't take a snap without them thinking ill of me (y)

Killed an hour and i got some new angles so all in all no harm done

We did it back end of 2013 when my report went in.

Surprisingly enough, and apart from a little more decay, things seem to be just the same..... Which is nice to see.
