(07/09) Water Eaton Grain Silo, Oxfordshire

[Sexdude15]

Finally, we wrapped the day up with the good old Water Eaton Grain Silo! This place is amazing and is so inviting!

Built in 1940, the Water Eaton Grain Silo was used up until the 1980s and has remained derelict since. It has had planning permission passed, to enable Ewelme based waste company Grundon, to build an enormous waste processing and recycling plant.

The site is a mecca for retro industrial equipment, and is so interesting to walk around, although the road and nearby park and ride make for paranoia, the building also creaks and shakes in the wind.

The roof is fantastic as well, and the views are breath taking. This site has been done a thousand times, I know but its still worth another report!

Nice pics... can really see the scale of that place. Got some more analogue ones coming up from this day but I'll have to develop and scan them at a later date. This is up to be demolished in 2010?

PEACE NOT PETROL!

Weird low-quality photos considering the camera but with that aside it's a good report, note the last picture where there's some twat drinking a capri-sun.

Often it's how you use an SLR not how good it is.
