Roller Stairs
Not sure what these things were for, but i can only imagine it was for access to the top of the machines that have been removed from this area since the place closed. I couldnt help but think of aircraft stairs when i saw them though, perhaps brought on by the fact the place we had stayed the night before was directly under a flight path of an airport.

Awesome. They do look like the aircraft stairs. i see water on the floor, is there much damage as in some of your buildings
Richard Shepherd replied
Not too much with this one, piles of scrap and stuff about but not too much in the way of kiddiot or pikey damage.

I like your industrial images. They are pretty desolate looking though.
Richard Shepherd replied
I prefer the industrial stuff as well to asylums etc to be honest, its going to be my goal to try and beef up that side of my portfolio this year :)

yes, congratulations again on making the home page. This shot deserves the attention. I hope it draws many more people to your truly original investigations of deserted and derelict sites. You have a real eye for finding compositions in these places.

Nice image!
We had stairs just like these in the newspaper press room where I worked.
They were for getting to the top of the press around the back side.
