The trees and brush are sneaking up and grabbing everything!

Unless there was a conveyor line for speed control, whatever went down that would be moving Very fast at the bottom.

Umm, maybe aircraft caution lights, if it was at the top of the building near the roof?

10 square milles...? Likely one of the large freight yards was there before the trees.

mmm, Yes, I would think that working shutoff switches are one of those first things paramount to safety...

Wow, it likely would only take one sneeze (mini tornado) to make those disappear. I'm almost surprised there wasn't a better labeling system.

Judging by looks, it would have tossed coal around and, I imagine, created a lot of dust.

I think...steam-punked Pac-Man!!

...yup, back in the day when an injury at work was the way things were, instead of a lawsuit.

abstract art interpretation of the day:
Industrial Sculpture-horseshoe anvil.

I grew up in Hanson. I drove down this street the other day. Yes, the buildings are still there, but in BAD unsafe shape. Police patrol the area regularly. ~ The fence is there for a reason, its UNSAFE. Not worth breaking your neck for a few pictures.

i've seen this in mexico. they vault the ceilings and the presure of the brick works as support the same as an arch would. in mex they actually place plywood up and then lay the bricks on top of it. when finished they remove the plywood and clean the bricks. looks awesome

My friend showed me pics of this today. They were awesome. I wanted to go here but my parents were too scared so I didn't go.

*Thanet!

I love this! I was born in Bristol and moved to Kent (Ashford) then moved to Ramsgate (Thanket, Kent) when I met my now husband.
