Just looked at the links. You'll likely have the best photo!
Still looking for my site, but nothing I can recall in this area compares with that; at least nothing where I can place the bike and get a decent shot.
OK, here's my entry. This is the defunct Mitchell power station, owned by First Energy and located in Union Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, near New Eagle. This coal-fired plant was shut down in 2013, supposedly because it would be too expensive to update the emission control equipment.
Oh yea cookiemech.. that's a good one!
Good job! Definitely dilapidated and gritty*

Hard to match your contrast cookiemech! The beauty in front of an eyesore. Good picture.
The only industry that "used" to be in our town

Well, this is non competitive, as I don't own a CB1100 anymore.
However, inspired by this month's photo challenge I took these pictures at a visit of my home town in the Ruhr area (old industrial area in Germany). I thought you might enjoy.
Chemical factory in the north of Castrop-Rauxel:

This is the air duct of an underground coal mine (Erin). The coal mine closed 1983.
