Last months job took me on a magical journey out of landlocked London to a world of metal, cables and kettles.

As I drove there I felt like I was entering a forgotten edge of Britain, brushed under the carpet of East Kent. It’s a hidden world of depots, transportation and mass production. Familiar brand names stake unashamed claim to the masses of industrial land along the road. Deeper into this unknown land I find the sign I’m looking for - Sweeep, one of the UK’s main electrical collection and recycling depots.
