Heavy timber posts run in a long colonnade down the length of the conveyor building. Moss covers the concrete floor in patches of bright green. Rubble, broken timber and twisted metal lie scattered between the columns. Light enters through a row of high windows on the right wall, catching dust and debris. A large arched opening is set into the concrete, its mouth dark. The air looks thick and damp.
