Samas Roneo - Gamesley/ Glossop
Visited this ex distribution place in March, not a great site, but adds a notch to my explores.
Some brief History
The Samas Roneo Site was built in the 1960s, apparently specifically for the Samas Roneo Company. The location of the premises was considered a wise investment as improvements were expected to the highways around this area, and this was considered a prime locatiopn. Unfortunatley for the building, they never came, and after 40 years the building was vacated around 2002.
The building is currently still for sale/lease, and has had applications from Wimpey Homes, however this was turned down in 2005. I read somewhere that wimpey have tried again to build homes on the site, but i forget where i saw that paticular piece.
Anyway Some Pics
water tanks?
Inside
Climb to offices
downstairs offices, well and truly trashed
and just generally trashed everywhere
Whats odd is despites its trashed status, it was quite peaceful in there
Exploring the depths of humanity, I find the beauty, the passion, the life, that many forgot.
