    Arrow Martins Dyers (Frisby Jarvis), Leicester

    A large Leicester factory that was partially destroyed by fire in 2005 after being abandoned for a few years. Two complete buildings remain and give a good impression of what the factories of this area would have been like.

    mmmm.... wood panelling!
    I love it when I come across some unexpected wood panelling.
    And before TC picks up on the double meaning.... it was half intended

    No, I didnt but my friend was doing a photoshoot in there and a tramp came and sat staring at her model! :S

    We've used it quite a bit for different photoshoots, suits fashion quite well!

    Me and mate did scare a homeless guy in westdale though! made me jump a mile! haha

    lol we used to hear footsteps and voices, and once I heard crying! Never saw anyone there though Westdale looked like there were loads of people living in the offices, made us feel very uneasy
