Shamed into action for having always seen this from the train, always vowed to find out what it was and always never getting off my arse to actually do it. Thanks to tom83 for the impetus and to recent discussions on here about getting on with it. Tried not to replicate shots. Was going to wait until a visit to Widness library to come up with some more background here, but figured that was just piggybacking for kudos. So, here's some photos...


Outside


Up the stairs


View over battery


Winch, probably from agricultural use


Crime scene tape! Don't know what went on or whether it was here last time NWEX was?


Walls are straw aggregate and finished with render


Structure in battery


Inside, shuttered concrete



peace
