Not much progress yesterday and today.
Some cleaning, some removing of concrete.

The small basement was revealed.

I forgot to take the top down, but the 60m shot was there.

I'm curious what they used this basement for. Does not look very practical.

I did not dare to fly lower as I could not see the drone from the other side of the site.

The last one for @DAFlys Sifting stones and cables out of the dirt there.

Since you can see some shelves in there must have been used strictly for storage.  Or maybe some secret poker games.

BTW, really nice shots Peter.

The spammers are filling the forum with massive amounts of spam threads.

But no way to enter this space from inside. The slab was continuous.
Only a hatch to the outside close to the street.
I've asked in the local history group, maybe somebody reads it.

Oh no. Not again.
I've only been replying today to replies, so I missed it.

Wow, that adds even more mystery to what it was used for.  Hopefully somebody in the history group can solve the mystery.

Thanks Ro.
Lots of image from this site from me already

A couple of the other forum I go to rarely have spam issues so it make me wonder what they do different.  I know a couple of the Cytotec pill spammers I reported just came back with a sequential name.  I'm guessing they are BOTs.

I'm sure they are.

Might have been used for nefarious purposes.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 11:18
I'm sure they are.

Maybe they need to tweak the requirements to create an account.  Maybe tie it to a DJI drone or product serial number.  

So, here is where are you going to construct your mansion to do indoor flights Montfrooij?

My suggestion would work as a fix, but....

PS, got an answer from a former employer from back in the days.
They used to have a paper pressing machine there where all the waste paper was compressed into bales and they were picked up through that hatch.
I have asked if there was another entrance or something, because that would make sense to me.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 11:14
Thank you

I was just kidding.

Unfortunately, that doesn't fit typical Chinese business culture.  

Chinese workplaces typically feature a clear and well-defined hierarchical structure that governs communication, decision-making, and interpersonal relationships.  Communication tends to be top-down, with instructions flowing from higher levels to lower levels.  Decisions are usually made at the top of the hierarchy.

Basement swimming pool?

Nice play on words

Hola Peter, nice shots, what is being planned for that lot?

Like in medieval castles when the bottle dungeons sometimes flooded...

Nice shots Peter,  will be interesting to learn what they used the basement for.

I think you are right.
Unfortunately.

Yeah, no answer about the other entrance (if it was there) but one guy used to work there.
