Glad to say you were wrong. Whilst the site has been bought. It's no way near ready for demolition any time soon. The councils have not even agreed with the buyer as to what is going to happen/be approved to be built in its place. The site is going to be a nightmare to demolish- there is asbestos everywhere still in ceilings and walls, broken on the floor, and contaminating other apparatus too. The cost will be colossal. And the hamlet of Taddiport buried in a valley is going to make it difficult to plan the structure of how such a project would be undertaken. The factory is tightly packed against housing on its right, the river to its left and other industrial businesses behind it. Even when it begins being demolished its gonna take time! Lastly, these businesses will need consulting on the project since driving through the factory is their only access. Having been several times this year. The fencing has been removed around the office buildings and no work is undergoing. They found far more disintegrating asbestos than they expected which has more or less spooked them and halted any real progress. Hopefully this will continue to be around to serve the kids who have nothing better to do due to North Devon's lack of infrastructure or activities, and us photographers, graffiti artists and urban explorers who love to use it as a creative space and documentation facility.
The ground floor of the first building you went in, it was like a maze, and with all that colorful art covering everything, it reminded me of being in a Fun house. Kept waiting for a clown to pop out. 🤡

No, that was Totnes Dairy where the explorer got killed.
People have committed suicide here and people have had nasty accidents. You will find that in most such sites.
