Mobil Oils Blending Plant, Birkenhead

Ojay/Millhouse/Xan/Ex0...



I visited this place a couple of months back with Millhouse, Ex0 & Xan.

The site had become somewhat of a tourist attraction over the summer months, reluctant to go as I have passed by many times and thought Meh.

BUT eventually curiosity getting the better of me I decided to head over and see what all the fuss was about.

The entire site is f00ked really and has suffered at the hands of the pikeys over the past decade like everywhere else.

In all honesty I was more interested in the Fort Austin that was in the same dock being re-fitted, but after a quick recce was being patrolled by a couple of seccas from both sides :(

Some History:

Situated on a 25 acre site at Birkenhead Docks, Mobil have been producing lubricating & hydraulic oils since 1906.

Later Mobil and BP combined their efforts in 1997 and the Birkenhead plant took over BP production in the UK.

The site eventually ceased production and closed in 2001.
