    In this video, we head inside the abandoned Grimsby Ice Factory in Lincolnshire, England which has been abandoned since production ceased in 1990. Historic machinery remains inside in a one of a kind turbine hall, which we search for in the dangerous building collapsing after every step...

    I have been a marine engineer for over fifty years now. I have worked on similar plant in my career on different types of ships. This old ammonia plant will never be seen again. What a pity that it has not been preserved

      It's truly tragic, particularly because it's one of a kind

      it is a shame. well, there are newer systems using NH3 (it is en vogue again..) but this is truly monumental and the sound of those compressors was incredible too.
      there is a video and a presentation about the place here on yt that were published by someone else a few years ago.

    The commentator blames the council for leaving the ice factory to rot but it has never been owned by the council. It was a privately run concern and upon ceasing production the responsibility for the building passed to APB, the owners of the docks on whose land it is sited. I believe that they extensively tried to promote its possible uses worldwide but no company wanted to take on such a huge building. There was nothing the council could do. It now belongs to a local entrepreneur who hopefully, will be able to salvage some, if not all of the building.

    This takes me back to why urban exploration caught my interest, before I worked where I do now (hospital environment) I worked in a market food hall on a fish stall.
    I absolutely stunk lol...some of the fish looked amazing though, fresh tuna, Tilapia, mullet, and shark...which was delicious, my favourite was salmon. and many more..it was an honest days work.
    An industry that served many with jobs and food on the table...all gone because of EU fishing laws...great explore, sadly gone to rot, only thing its got going for it is its listed status...for what it is worth...
    hope it can be preserved for years to come...

    What a fantastic video Lads and loved the fashion shoot too. Although the location and building made it a very worthwhile explore, the loss of this building is surely a missed opportunity to demonstrate a very important part of British history and would have made a fantastic museum. Thanks as always for your efforts in sharing with us.

    • @Urbandoned
      @Urbandoned  4 місяці тому +1

      Haha! A museum would have been the best result for the factory definitely, but I think it's too far gone now. Could have been like the Chatterley Whitfield Visitor experience with a few protected paths going through safer areas of the buildings

    A scene for the film Atonement was filmed outside and in the compressor hall in 2006. I was one of the extras. I can see where I stood and even got into the trailer but most of the scenes were cut from the final film. We were told don't touch a thing unless you want something nasty from the pigeon droppings.

    Been past this awesome building hundreds of times. You can see where they tried to demolish it before finding out it's a Grade 2 listed building. Last time I went past, there was a HUGE pile of bricks from the partial demolition. The movie 'Atonement' was also filmed there.

    Yo chaps . Not watched for about 6 months, just down to work and stuff. So going to be catching up in the coming days. LOL - liking the fashion intro, neat one! '. I provide consultancy work to the fish industry in Grimsby now and again (and just about any other industry too), so know the area well. This video is especially interesting as only a week or so ago I was at "the" No1 UK factory that provides ice currently to the UK and beyond. / Would not be surprised if those glazed green tiles are mildly radioactive (uranium oxide glaze), very popular in hospitals of the same period. / Mark.

    I believe plans are approved by the council to turn it in to a hotel, entertainment venue etc.
    So you can bet the contractors will make every excuse not to save anything historic, the council will rurn a away and say nothing!
