Another from the past!

Wilson & Stafford was just one of a number of hat firms who set up in Atherstone and the last factory in town left in a derelict state, the rest are either converted or demolished.

As for this place after some very sketchy access involving climbing over a resident's garden wall surprising a couple of kids playing in the garden and a very tight squeeze we were on site, the place is stripped pretty much bare but the decay is rather nice with very little graffiti. A big place and it was very easy to get lost inside!
