Cerebos Salt, Greatham, Hartlepool, Oct '09

[boxfrenzy]

There's nothing like a good explore, and this was nothing like a good explore.
It's Cerebos Salt readers, once an important North Eastern explorers landmark, today it lies empty, stripped and faintly scary.



Inside the large distribution warehouse was a headless man, tied to a chair.



A couple of years ago, this office would have been quite interesting. Today it wasn't really.


Here's another fairly uninspiring view of it.


Ambassador Push Button Telephone, probably a 8202R or 8300? First introduced in 1982. Astonishingly it was the first UK telephone designed for the plug-and-socket connection which soon began to replace the wired-in (hard-wired) connection of previous telephones. Get in.


For fat workers there was a swimming pool to help them lose weight after too much eating curry off the conveyors.


Upstairs, although there was not a lot, at least it was quite interesting. (Not shown in photo)


This was outside the canteen, which was quite good. In a rubbish sort of way.


Still, as I don't have a list, it was another one off the map.

awwww, don't be so harsh on cerebos, it was a really good explore in its day :P
Shame to see it so stripped tho

Doesn't look at all scary to me, ya big wuss.

What is gonna happen to it?

Loving the awe inspiring report Gentlemen, inspires me with awe not to go there

Some really nicely shot pictures though...

We've all seen much worse, at least the photos are good.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this one - I like these types of explores - good pics

Was the canteen lady on strike when you went for food?

That factory looks doomed in its current state.
