Elizabeth shaw Chocolate factory Bristol

[lonely Badger]

This place is massive. Really is! We only got to wander around on one and a half floors and the roof today. My bloody camera battery died.

So only got a few shots. But next time i am back in Bristol def going back. The light was amazing today as well was such a good day for a explore.


A bit of info on the place

The factory was commissioned by Packer and Co in 1901, designed by the architect F Shove and built by Bristol’s pre-eminent builders of the time: William Cowlin & Sons. The factory was designed as four principle buildings with three glazed hauling ways between them. The main buildings are made from brick, cast iron columns and timber flooring (which was becoming increasingly un-fashionable in large factories). A later 5 storey concrete framed and brick clad building, was erected on the eastern end of the site sometime before the Second World War. The factory was closed in 2006, bringing an end to over 100 years of chocolate production on the site.


It was also used for a music video.


This is what they are trying to do with it.

Good to see an urbexer making an effort and dressing properly for the occasion. There's way too much fleece and camo in this game, and not nearly enough style. Have some self-respect, people!
