"B" is for bleak but beautiful building -a vanishing history?

 Photos by Tim

 Taking part in ABC Wednesday. A bleak but once beautiful building opposite WH Shaw Pallet Works on Huddersfield Road, due for possible demolition.  Lest the bleakness goes for ever, I thought I would give it a colourful treatment. It looks like it could be a good film location for a horror movie.

 Some interesting inside photos of the area are here.

    All good things come to an end... so they tell me.

    Thanks for the link to urban explorers - didn't realise this was at Delph - quite a way from city centre Manchester.

      Yes, I cover Lancs and Cheshire and the outer boroughs as well as the City Centre of Manchester- makes for a wider choice of subjects to keep it interesting. Wish I had time to run several blogs a day like your good self :-)

    What a fab building - more like a workhouse or something like that rather than a factory. I often wish I had the nerve to go in for some of these urban photographic adventures!

    what a shame to see these buildings go. We just don't build anything as extraordinary now. It would be lovely if it could be restored.

    You are very creative, I like the first artwork, the beautiful effect in this picture. I like the clock of this building, really beautiful!

    Bleak or not, it's visually interesting. I would hope they don't have to demolish it, but can find some purpose for the place.

    Super pair of images, Chrissy. We are both on the 'building' theme :).

    Oh, I hope it doesn't get demolished! Can they possibly renovate it? It really does look spooky.
