Cotton Mill Elanex

Image
One of the best abandoned places in Częstochowa at the moment. Visited on few occasions with sesyjni mordercy crew, goblinz strikes back. Factory was functioning from 1889 to 2002. Elanex is one of those industrial complexes, which in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century shaped the face of the textile Częstochowa. Land was purchased in 1889, and factory was established in the same year under the name of Motte, Meillassoux and Caulliez. The brick and stone architecture contains Neo-Gothic style, designed by Edward Lilpop well known in Łódź and Warsaw, the architect of many buildings, mainly banks. In 1926, "Motty" changed its name to Union Textile. After the war the factory was called the Wool Industry Plant Częstochowa (imienia Koszutskiej), and finally Elanex. It has been closed in October 2002.

Rank Hovis Mill

Here you can appreciate probably one of the few hdr'ed pigeon eggs online! that's something isn't it.. history: The Ramsgate Flour Mill was built in 1865, and closed in 2005 when the site was sold by Rank Hovis to a private developer, as it was no longer commercially viable. The mills became Grade II listed in 1988. World War II tunnels underneath the mills:

Fullers Earth Works

Big credit goes to Subversive for helping me out with location, he pointed though a bit further down the road so had a bit of e xploring before finding it, never mind :) The place turned out to be quite a chilled explore, and the weather was... great. History: In the 1980s, the Copyhold site was sending loose earths and packaged cat litter around the world. By 1995, however, due to falling profits it was announced that the company would close 10% of its 100 plants. Copyhold fell victim the following year and the Laporte Group ceased fuller's earth production altogether in 1997. Visited solo in 2011, and as you can see i was romancing with heavy hdr's then, heh.

Glassworks Kara

Done with r2s during this summer, entrance was kind of funny as the site is still partially live, so we have been crouching behind random objects to avoid the workers and security, eventually got in and discovered that the ground floor is still being used as a storage for thousands of glass jars, after this few skips it all went fine. First opened in 1897, this factory was producing the glass for windows, closed in 2001.
