Buxton Lime Firms. Buxton. May 2010.

[SilentHill]

Me and Judders decided to do a whistle stop tour on our way back after the Harpur Hill College explore. We lost Theoss en route though. Sorry mate

To save typing out the history! Here's the Heritage link for those that are interested.

andym did a great job with his b&w take on the place, and I really wanted to see for myself what the Neo Aztec style buildings looked like in the flesh. So here's my take in colour.

First glimpse from the approach track.




The imposing and very inviting main entrance.


Lara Croft would be at home here.






This is the next building you come across.


Complete with chimney.


Inside however is a different story, and not very fitting for such wonderful designed buildings.




And the oh so familiar graff.






Is this really Derbyshire? More like the Inca Trail.










The Kilns.


And speak of the devil and she shall appear


Well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

Thanks for looking.

Ah the Speer like architecture again - I love this and it annoys me cos the one chance I had at it ages ago when I was in the area I couldnt find it. Love it !! well done when did lara croft get on the team?

If Lara Croft came across you two deviants in deepest darkest Derbyshire she'd run a mile

I like this place, a really bizarre piece of design

So would they! with their tripods akimbo!

Always nice to see good old BLF-a real wacky place to visit! Nicely captured too SH!

Can someone pm me the location as i'd like a mooch at this one. I don't know buxton very well but i do venture into the peak district for walks etc regular so a walk to a specific place to see would be good!

[sqwasher]

A couple of miles out of Buxton, on the right, along the A6 towards Bakewell. You can see it easy on google maps etc.

Cool! I think i may have driven past it a while back before i'd got into exploring etc! Will have to stop this time for a proper look around!
