Joshua Pitt Tannery

This was somewhere I hadn't been previously.
Previously, i've explored across the road from this place, but never actually got around to checking out this side of things as a result of distractions in the other warehouse.

Showing a couple of friends around i took them across the road, afterwards, we went and checked out the Tannery (for those that don't know, its where leather is made).
It turned out to be quite a large facility, and quite an interesting place to explore. For those planning on visiting. It now features security patrols and an attempt has been made to lock it down further.

This place also has some of the best graffiti i've seen in a while. I'm not usually to keen on graff in topsides as it usually results in them being locked down. All the same though. The detail in some of this stuff blew my mind.

Surely one of the best pieces i've come across while exploring...

We scared a possum when we came in and it freaked out and fell down into a storage area that was surrounded by high concrete walls. The good samaratins in our group decided a rescue was in order so a few wooden beams later and the possum was free!

So much leather! All the stuff in the little areas is sheets of leather that have been used and had shoe soles cut out of them... Crazy!
