Hargreaves Slaughter House, M'bro, Nov 08

Was originally looking for somewhere "industrial" for a photoshoot with a cybergoth male model, and noticed a rookie report by no1rich.

Pictures didnt really show the place off too much but messaged him anyway. He was proper helpful, gave me lots of info and even went down before work one day to photograph where I should park and then the route along to the entrance! Saved me alot of time and effort thats for sure

So myself, Mykal and this dude went down last weekend, Mykal got some shots of the building whilst I was concentrating on modelly things but we got disturbed by what sounded like someone else being in there so we left. There was alot of stuff we didnt get chance to have a good look at and of course I wanted to photograph the actual building so we headed back down there this weekend with Sandman and Shepy.

Got up at 9am to see the backgarden blanketed in snow. Pretty, but not good exploring due to the cold and also leaving tracks! Dont get me wrong, it wouldnt ruin an explore, one of my favourite splores was St Marys during blizzards, it was beautiful, but on this day I just wanted to be warm and comfy! I eventually got up and ready amidst lectures as to why I should purchase myself some para-boots.....

Its not a huge site but it has some looooooooooooovely bits and pieces (if you like that kind of thing). Cant find any history of the place, all I know is it closed in 2001 due to foot and mouth.



The back of the room of death



Upstairs, we couldnt quite figure out what went on up here, possibly something to do with bones as this is where the carcasses were brought up after stripping. Or so Shepy reliably informed me.



Splish splash



Gods waiting room



A pipe thing in the waiting room



Meat stripping ma-jigs, taken shortly before I turned round and nearly knocked myself out, whacking my head into a big metal thing



Hook of Death



Conveyor-thing-of-peril



Another death machine.


The whole place reminded me very much of Saw when that guys getting drowned in dead pig sludge.

Interesting but verryyy grim

Really nice pictures of a really horrid place. The third one down is a brilliant picture. Is that a scalpel with blood on?
Top captions too.

Really captured the 'mood' of the place.
I like the black n white shots!
