Thanks for this film. My grandfather worked in the Birmingham Battery factory and this building was always a notable landmark. Sad to see it allowed to fall into decay and now demolished.
And of it's demolition has come nothing, the land is too contaminated by the old metal works, so now the land is just empty. I enjoyed this place, but not so much to make a film about it.
@savageman26 The problem was that Sainsbury's own the site including all the retail park and when they bought it they had to keep the admin building because it was a listed building. They said they we're going to incorporate it into their new shop or something but they just left it rot so that it was so unsafe they had to tear it down. It was a very sneaky tactic. I suppose the fascination came from seeing this lovely old building amongst modernistic metal structures.
UR A HOMO

This is fantastic.
I really enjoyed this, Had aspects of Werner Herzogs style of cinematography I thought?
