ABANDONED VOLCREPE RUBBER MILL

Abandoned Ltd was a large rubber producing factory in situated in the heart of Glossop, Derbyshire. Formed in 1931 and based in the 200 years old Woods Mill, it began manufacturing rubber soles for footwear. Later on,it was producing specialist equipment to the Ministry of Defence including gas masks for horses and the Home Guard, as well as radio equipment as part of the war effort between 1939-1945. In the 1950s,the company was still producing footwear soling, but with the market becoming more and more competitive it started concentrating its efforts into cellular rubbers for the aviation industry, oil, automobile, domestic and communications industries.
The factory closed down in 2002 when Volcrepe merged with another company, St Albans Rubber, and the site has remained empty. In october 2015, High Peak Borough Council were split in a decision of five votes to five as to whether the site should be demolished and redeveloped. However, the Councillor with the deciding vote decreed the mill should in fact be demolished. As of 2021, some of the site has been demolished, but plenty still remains derelict.
