BROMBOROUGH, UK: THIS FACTORY was once a crucial player in the lives of its workers and the industry but like many other industrial greats it hasn’t stood the test of time. Originally built in the 1840’s by the Price company, founded by industrialist William Wilson and owned by what was Britain’s largest manufacture ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries), haunting images of an abandoned Merseyside chemical works have revealed the demise of industry in the area. The eerie collection of images show machinery scattered and left to waste, broken control panels and rusted metal infrastructure which has been deserted. One picture even shows the factory’s canteen which would have once fed the site’s one-hundred-and-fifteen strong hungry workforce. Other pictures show signs outlining the plant’s quarantine area and grand vats which would have once stored chemical materials. More images show gas filters used to purify chemicals and empty bottles of liquids in the laboratories. The series of images were taken by an urban explorer who wishes to remain anonymous. The images were taken at the former Uniqema Chemical Works in Bromborough.
