Inside the creepy abandoned Morrisons which shut before Covid lockdown

The supermarket and its products are frozen in time.

Footage recorded by ‘urban explorers’ shows an abandoned supermarket covered in graffiti and old TV guides.

The Morrisons in Shirley, West Midlands, closed in 2019 after a review of the company’s branches.

The supermarket giant said at the time they would redeploy staff, however no clear plans were made for the building itself.

Urban explorer and streamer Don Andrew, his brother Kieran and friend Aser visited the site on Sunday morning.

Livestreaming the property on Facebook, the findings were slightly unsettling.

On the floor were remnants of the time just before lockdown, with magazines dating back to January 2020.

In the stream, panels can be seen missing from the ceiling, and strewn wires hanging from above.

‘Once we found the first entrance it was kind of an addiction to keep going back, as mad as it sounds,’ Don told the Sun.

‘The fire exit is wide open, if you’re at the front of the building you can walk straight in there, up the stairs and you’re onto the roof of the car park. 

‘From the car park you can go down the stairs into the Morrisons. But it is pitch black and you need a torch.

‘There’s hanging wires, bits of graffiti, the TV catalogues, the shutters are half open. Pretty much everything is gone.’

Don has been going to the property for almost a year, returning three times since he first discovered he could get in.

‘The first time I went in there it was freaky. It’s part of my town, there’s no windows, it was eerie and spooky. 

‘All I could hear was a door slamming behind me the whole time. It was weird. The more I’m doing it, I’m not as paranoid now.’
