Hartley Village/Factory

[Ged]

Thanks for the pic Ged. Couldn't remember whether that building to the right of the pic was still standing when I took mine, so I go looking for my Hartley pics....and I can't find them now! Doin' my head in mate! I'll have another look later on.

Golly Dave, I was looking for this one after seeing your great pics, I somehow went straight to it, how 'jammy' is that?

No, that big building has gone now, I'm pretty sure.

Taken some pics today.
It's like the land that time forgot!

A wonderful place and the people who live in Hartley's Village stick up for it with such enthusiasm.

Good that people are seeing it in terms of the loop line path.

By road it's on the edge of everywhere - what made it a dogfight venue. From the path it is in the middle of everywhere. There are those who knock the sustrans path but I think it's great and turns your thinking inside-out.

I wonder if any of the lilies set could be seen from the loop line ?

Mind you, I suppose not. Doubt if they would leave it open to prying eyes and vandals.

You could see the set from the loop-line.
It was weird because I often go past there then one day I noticed these old houses....It was all carboard like at the back of them so it soon became obvious it was a film set.
I went over and got as far as the front of the building then was stopped by security who wouldn't take a bribe.

Reagarding Hartleys...
There's a pidgeon food shop as well as piano's and sheds plus dodgy little lock ups/fly by nites.It's become a dumping ground.Fly tippers love it.
