    Default Dunlop Precision Rubber - Coalville PIC HEAVY

    I dont know much about the history of this place but it was a cracking explore. There were two engineers on one of the factory floors removing something and after trying to sneak around them and failing, I got talking to one of them. he was actually quite friendly and didn't mind me being there although warned me about the boss who patrols the outside on a quad bike (i later had to dive in and out of small buildings to hide from him and his VERY noisy quad bike.) The ajoining factory is still operating but this one closed 4 months ago and according to the engineer, so did the one in Shepshed (hint,hint)
    Anyway, on with the pics










    I loved this corridor, i dont know why, i just did.







    Upstairs, another factory floor, and offices.




    I took this next picture as its the only explore i have done where the toilets are completely in tack! totally un-trashed.


    and finally, the rooftops





    I spent about 2 or 3 hours here, wandering around on my own. its a big place and nice to see, mostly un-trashed. sorry about all the pics, i took soooo many i found it hard to narrow it down to just 20!

    Cheers mate, it was a cracking find. The place is un-touched by chavs but a bit ravaged by gypsies. There is a bunch of caravans up the road and i think they use this place like a big cash machine.

    Nice discovery dude! I love it when security give you a massive warning that they are on the way.

    I love the 'Precision Rubber' sign...and the shots over the rooftops are great!
