Eerie pictures show the inside of a spooky 19th century industrial building left 'frozen in time' for a decade.

Urban explorer Kyle 'Urbex', 26, snuck into the vacant fabric manufacturer's complex in Bradford - which has been out of use since 2012.

The five-storey building, dating back to 1854, previously used by a fabric and clothing manufacturer appears to have been 'frozen in time'.

Old papers lie stacked on the desks, while huge piles of unworn suit jackets spill out of boxes and hang on racks.

The pictures show how his desk lies untouched, complete with name sign and stacks of hand-written notes.

After visiting the eerie building on January 7, urban explorer Kyle said: "After going through huge research to find this place, I was stunned once inside to see old computers and old suit jackets.

"Starting on the lower floors, I then decided to climb the spiral staircase to the second floor. I was shocked to find the old offices.

"I did manage to uncover some old spinning and other machinery - but the upper floors were the most surprising.

"They were a complete natural decay of rot and starting to collapse with only pigeons occupying the upper levels.

"I did quite enjoy this explore and it's one I'm glad I managed to explore."

But the property, dating back to 1854, still lies empty today.

Warehouse worker Kyle added: "The most interesting part for me was certainly the way everything remains intact.

"The computers on the desk were mind-blowing - as if someone had walked out yesterday and never returned.

"Not to mention the vintage carpet and all the old suit jackets left behind. It was all just so mesmerising."
