The first side of the Brantford brownfields we entered was the Mohawk side, which for the most part been converted to a junkyard, the area with the building appeared to be the lesser used section of the junkyard, with large industrial bins of wire and other assorted metals.

Far more buildings have been torn down on the Mohawk side as opposed to the Greenwich side, the only building of interest in which we could partially enter was close to the fence. All means of entering the top of the building had been cut off, the elevator was actually out of it laying approximately 15 feet from the building. The only room which we could access was a washroom. We did a bit more walking of the grounds up to another building, this building had been locked up tight (although signs of graffiti on the inside showed that this was no always the case).

While looking at this building, Shokan and I were alerted by Citizen-X that someone was yelling at us from one of the houses across the street. We decided to depart, it was at this point that we noticed the no trespassing signs, they had been facing towards the road, and we had not seen them till we turned around to head back towards the tracks. However on the Mohawk side a lack of security was apparent, so we took our time to get out anyway.
