Another site from mine and Landie's local-ish derp extravanganza today.
The NIRD, or National Institute for Research in Dairying is located in Shinfield just outside of Reading and is hard to find any information on really, it's a collection of single-storey buildings forming an old research farm smack bang in the middle of a new housing development - why they've been left I don't know. At a guess they have been empty for about 15 years, the asbestos sheet roofs of most of the buildings were removed some time after 2007 but it was closed long before then. A proper big derp but quite interesting all the same, some labs and multiple sets of animal enclosures with a few decent little bits here and there and some very very slippery floors!
