    Arrow Buxton Lime Firms, Buxton, Report 01/05/10

    Not the most challenging piece of urbex this, park up in a layby on a main road, over a 5 bar gate and you're there. Mind you there's not much to see, but I spent a pleasant 30 minutes wandering round, and there is more to see if you've got more time and some hiking gear!

    Plenty of history on the company on the web, but not much about this particular site, so on with the pics.

    Very distinctive architecture for a building used for electrical generators. Neo-Aztec must have been all the rage in the Derbyshire Dales in the 1920's.


    Inside the neo-Aztec building. There was nowt inside apart from graffitti and bottles.





    It looks HDR but it's not. A combination of concrete, light and Nik Silver Efex has made it look this way.


    Really big f*** off mansize buttresses.


    Looking up one of the enormous buttresses. 14mm at full frame FTW!!!!


    Inside a kiln. The light was nice in there.

    I like these shots. This is a nice place to wander around, and I like the black and white photographs.
