    Arrow Fletchers Paper Mill, Greenfield nr Oldham 5/5/2008

    Visited sunny Greenfield after going to loads of other sites only to find no entry. It's a bit like flogging a dead horse because many explorers have already been here but everyone sees things differently.

    We nearly got busted by security but we pinned ourselves against the wall and the gaurd walked straight past us, never bat an eye lid. Bit of an adreneline rush after that by which time it was our cue for a sharpe exit


    The Externals






    Admin














    These names are familiar...






















    World War 2 gas mask












    Loads of inverters, supplying 1100v


    PC's were alive, even though it was crappy windows 98. The emails were rather boring.

    Short video on this place here - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1gWZGI2LT3I It's not very good but it might give future explorers an insight of what to expect.

    I didn't see any servers, obviously there must be some somewhere because of all the emails and network shares but as theoss says, some of the doors in the office were locked and inaccessable.

    The switchroom is in the bottom of the building next to the admin block.

    May I ask as to where "Team Squirrel comes from?"
    It used to be a team name I knew of at Alton Towers.
    I'm sure it's probably not what you're referring to, but hey, it's a small world after all!!
