Secanim (Animal Rendering & Grinding Site) Urbex Explore - The Great Stink of Exeter

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- A look inside a once notorious site close to Exeter City Centre. Technically not an Abattoir as animals would already be deceased upon entering these premises. The rendering process would have used crushing, grinding and heat to convert animal carcasses into feed protein, bone meal & other products. Site closed in 2021 much to local residents relief after decades of complaints over smells and bulk transportations into the site through a residential area. Site still has a ridiculously horrific smell and the less that I touched here the better.

I used to collect the waste from there, in a tanker, back in the late 90's. You think the smell is bad now, you should have been inside the place when it was running! I used to back through the airlock that you went in through, the roller door with the slash in it, then reverse through the second door to attach the pipe. Nasty stuff! One time, it frothed up, and blew out of a vent pipe, covering me from head to toe! I shut off the valves, and ran across the yard, stripping buck naked as I went. Straight into the shower, and get that filth off me, then realised I was bucko, with no clothes to put back on. Fortunately I was able to borrow some clean overalls to wear.
there are still apparently dead pigs remains hanging from nets in a room, do you remember particularly well the processes that went on in there?
Nice explore, i remember when the factory was still open walking along the quay it would stink in the summer. The lorries would stink too haha, glad its shut down now
Hopefully the whole place gets demolished asap.
@@sandpit72 i agree, i could actually still smell it driving past recently
It’s only been closed a couple of years, as I remember walking under the railway bridge in 2020 and seeing a lorry unloading. The smell used to drive people away so guess that posh restaurants like Rockfish would not have moved in had the stench still of been around. Always remember trying to eat my sarnies in belle isle park then getting a waft of it. The smell did travel up past burnt house lane so the local residents must of been please to see the back of it, since it would have devalued their property.
Anyway these places have to exist unfortunately, but now I guess operations are a lot slicker and modern, we are seeing the old industrial side of Exeter disappear now.
@skaterbun Came past 2 days ago, they had just started demolition and the grabber was just ripping out the old HGV entrance tunnel
Great vid. We went in there just last night as demolition apparently begins today. It still reeks and is now totally delapidated, with broken glass, trashed industrial equipment littering the floor, and graffiti everywhere (some of which was very cool actually). Very interesting comparing our pictures and what we saw with your video.
Thanks for uploading.
Glad you got in to see, will all look very different in 4-5 years
Thanks for recording this video! Not many people seem know about this place.
You were lucky to visit the site not damaged yet. Been there today and fire was set on by someone in the weeks after your exploration. Office building is burned down, same as the unique green sile outside of the factory. People who find out something is abandoned quickly start destroying it, why ?
Fire was a long time after my visit as I filmed on July 1st which was the day of the Teignmouth Air Show, as I had problems after getting into St Thomas Station due to overcrowding, fire was Jan & Feb 2024, the larger buildings are still in place, the smaller offices look all burned out now, been two fires so far, maybe same person.
I worked night security there in 2022/23 from 7pm to 7am and had to do night patrols all over there several times a shift "ALONE" in the pitch black!!! 😁
It didn't bother me, but I always heard lots of noises! Like banging, moans and voices which was weird, but I'd just shout towards it saying "Who is there?" Shut up your giving me a headache lol! Yes it was creepy but didn't fear me as the dark don't bother me at all lol.
The one main thing I couldn't cope with was "The Awful Sick Rotten Smell" of flesh 🤮🤢... It wasn't nice and I can still smell it now! And whenever I finished my shift I'd shower for ages and stuff my nostrils with all kinds of soap!!!
I had to chase a few local trespassers off the site, when I would jump out on them lol but nothing serious! (It was funny because some screamed when I scared them lol)
I was told the place is getting knocked down because the council want it gone and are in plan to have homes built, but they would have to seriously dig up that ground up and take out all the years of disgust that's been drained down there from animals.
It's something of interest I was looking up today and just came across your video lol and can't believe it's still exactly the same from doing my last shift.
Good video 👍
Thanks! I recently discovered this site and was wondering what it was. Very interesting video.
Too many know about it, as this was set on fire in the past few weeks 😮
Went past on the train and wondered about this place, I'm close by but it sounds too sketchy to visit now, that and the stench of death doesn't really appeal to me - that said I wondered what the stench was on Marsh Barton a few years back, put it down to the tanning and hyde place but actually I reckon it might of been this place causing the stank!
Went in the other day and it still reeks of death, the lab building is completely recked all the windows walls smashed up etc.. Apart from that not much has changed -though i was too creeped out to explore much of the inside buildings. I think it might be a site for depositing stolen bikes now as there are a bunch of bikes and wheels locked up next to the building closest to the gate which is fully intact/ locked up so wouldn't advise going in.
Caravans now just inside the main gate.
Oh yeah I saw that they put up a sign declaring their squatters rights saying it’s their home now although it’s not stopping kids going in and breaking stuff literally on their caravans
@@boastfull_iguana3077 I guess you're local, but I tend to review the site by sitting on the left side of the train out of Exeter. Fast forward 5 years and this site will all be waterside apartments
Yeah I just observe it on my way to the climbing hangar I’ll be interested to see how they deal with the people inside and when
And now been set on fire 05/02/24
Looks very different right now
@@progamereditz has it been demolished... I used to do security there and commented on here about my experience (Sick place!)
@@MARKANTONYJONES not yet
This place is still the same as in this video on 14/10/23
A few bits of graffiti but still the same stench. Nasty place, im glad its closed
A few more broken windows, as I pass on the train sometimes.
