Garnett's Cabinet Works

This weekend's explore in my home town. Garnetts Cabinet works, built by the Northern benefactor Robert Garnett in 1906. In its current state the factory has been swallowed up by the growth of the town around it since its doors closed some 40 years ago. Despite having travelled all over the country I've never attempted this place that's effectively on my doorstep, mostly because of its central location but also because it's no secret that the words 'death trap' are an understatement. The place is genuinely falling apart - weather has not been kind to her! The majority of the site is sealed so well that even the owners would have to drill through concrete to get in, but we did get to explore some of the lower sections that could support our weight which is a bonus since its demolition plans have recently been discussed in the local paper. It's Italian designed tower has stood proud above the Warrington skyline for over a century but soon this will all be gone.
