Orwin Automation - Luton - May 2000

 

Sadly (well, depending on your p.o.v) very little history remains about this site but I was able to discover they made electronics, most probably something to do with automation if the name is anything to go by. Of the few signs still in the building, one read "meter making area". If anyone else has any info on the site then please let me know.

The site is very, very derelict so my guess is it closed a good four or five years ago, but surprisingly little graffiti as yet. It's also pretty big but all mostly the same. The building is part of the Power Court industrial complex which is due for demolition as soon as planning permission is finalised. It will form part of Luton's much anticipated redevelopment. I think a few years ago I might have quite liked this place but these days I would class it as a poor quality explore but it had to be done to satisfy my curiosity as I go past it nearly every day and it's local. Maybe this will be useful to someone as to whether or not to go.

Worth noting is the River Lea culvert runs under the site.
