Today I was lucky enough to have a tour through the old Cadbury factory which is currently being prepared for demolition.
There is something about photographers and empty or abandoned buildings, its something we usually jump at the chance to capture.
I walk past this building every day on my way to work and have been watching the progress of the demolition.
It was lovely to be able to wander though and photograph some of the details left, even the chocolate that was still in the pipes!
It was interesting hearing from our tour guide and other past Cadbury workers on the tour, one had worked at the factory for over 30 years.
It must have been a mixture of emotions for the past staff to wonder through a building they had become so familiar with.
Big thank you to Megan Fairley and Project Hope & Beyond for putting on the tours
with proceeds going to Mental Illness, Gumboot Friday and I am Hope NZ.
