The historic Garnett's Cabinet Works in Warrington town centre is being prepared for demolition along with its iconic water tower - a distinctive part of the town skyline for over one hundred years. The business was founded in 1824 and the water tower added in 1906. The building has been abandoned for over 60 years and has recently been a favourite of 'urban explorers' and photographers as well as 'free runners' and vandals. Now so rotten and unsafe that even these (fool)hardy souls avoid it, the factory is being demolished to make way for apartments.
