I think I photograph this whenever I walk by. So sure it will be gone the next time, every time.

Old places where there was factories and workshops are disappearing fast, this place is long gone, so try sometimes and go around in your neighbourhood and document the changes of the inner and outer quaters of your town. Black & white can be very good and look "timeless", but do also make some color phot images, colors of clothes, cars and houses changes which says a lot of the period of the time when the photo was taken. I have a lot of memories from the time I used the Kodak T-MAX400 Black & White film. I exposed it at ISO 200 and developed it very gently in a thin resolution for 11 minutes, it gave a good contrast with still lots of details in both highlights and in the shadows, excellent film ! A very sharp film with very fine grain. But this is a digital image taken with a DSLR and added a frame in GIMP.
If you like photography with analog film, then I can highly recommend the Kodak T-MAX 400 film and the Kodak T-MAX film developer. Before the Kodak T-MAX 400 film, I had tried several types of Black & White fil, fx Agfapan, Ilford FP4 and HP5, Kodak TRI-X and Kodak T-MAX 100, but I ended up with only using the T-MAX 400 which I think was the best allround film, sharp, fine grain, fine details in all grey tones (at least the way I developed it !).
Personally I do not like all the polluting chemicals, I try to be as environmental friendly as I can, so no more chemicals from me !
