After trying a few mills in Bradford we headed back towards Castleford but took a slight diversion and decided to stay off the motorway with hopes to come across something we could have a look at, this place caught my eye as we were passing in the car so we parked up and went to have a look. A short while later we made our way in after a nice easy entrance
:mrgreen: First thoughts was that the place was rather bleak after having a walk around the empty warehouse area so we headed for the offices. Slowly making our way around trying to not set any of the sensors off we found the control panel for the alarm and saw it was turned off! Imagine spending all that money on a alarm system then not using it... :dunno:
After finding that we had a decent look around the place and turns out it was a typically boring office space besides a few intresting bits!
There was a few other buildings we didn't look at but didn't want to overstay our welcome
