This Spooky Industrial Park In Pennsylvania Has Stood In Decay for 30 Years

Linfield Industrial Park spans 196 acres in Limerick, about 35 miles north-west of Philadelphia. For over 100 years, this land was home to various companies, most notably Kinseys Distillery. It has stood vacant since 1986.

This land is legally off-limits, and curious explorers are often arrested for trespassing here. Even though you can’t see the ruins in person, thanks to the work of photographer SHVWN Cooper, you can admire photographs of the abandoned Linfield Industrial Park. Check them out below to see what lies in your backyard.

As you can see, nature has overtaken what was once the industrial hub of the Limerick area.

The Kinsey Distillery used the Limerick warehouse mainly to store barrels of distilled whiskey. The warehouse could store up to one million barrels and was known as the "world’s largest single concentration of aging whiskeys."

During the 1960s, Linfield Industrial Park employed many local residents and was an industrial hub for the area. Today, it looks as if one day everyone just left and never returned.

As well as being used for the Kinsey Distillery, the park was used to repackage and distribute antifreeze and ammonia-based cleaning products. Looks like it could use some of those products today.

Over the years, the complex has faced multiple fires, the most recent of which occurred in February of 2015. Firemen had to fight through overgrown vegetation to reach the building that was burning.

Numerous redevelopment plans have been proposed for Linfield Industrial Park, but to date none of these proposals have passed. Before the land can be developed into anything, it must first be decontaminated and cleaned up.
