Chapman's smallgoods.


Chapman's smallgoods was an abattoir/ market place opened in 1899.
After being empty from 2002, the place is a empty dark eerie mess. 
The inside feels somewhat like a maze, filled with many hallways, crawl holes and stairs.
Underground the basement has a few levels, the lowest one being full of water and mold. 
In the market place side I discovered pentagrams on the floor, surrounded by chairs, and various tables. 
There's so many things I could say about this place it is enormous.
The abattoir is obviously the highlight of this amazing place, containing very morbid and descriptive instructional signs, old knives, blood vats, hoses, hooks, and a walk way for the soon to be slaughtered.  Despite the dark sinister feel of that room, I was very curious and amazed. 
The silence especially in the abattoir at night was beautifully haunting and really added to the eerie feeling. There's obviously a lot of risk factors here, such as asbestos, broken glass, syringes, squatters, rusty nails, unstable floors, and the unknown visitors in the giant maze like building.
I suggest if you are to ever go there to not go alone ;)
Sadly I did not capture any photos of the kill floor, in future visits I will make sure to take some and add them to this post. I am hoping to find and take photos of the elevator. 

Status: demolished


Hole found in the basement, full of water and rubble.
There was a ladder inside.
