a day out with Goldie87 and The BLue Fox (not sure if he's on here)
welll then after yet another failed visit at the bus depot and a look round another site thats been stripped we aimed somewhere new, i had a quick recce last night and decided it was well boarded but we went back in daylight and walked straight in....
the clock on the oldest part states 1739 and i think the site was todo with knitwhere and so on but one bit mentioned zips and fasteners anyway lots of retro cool 70's offices several lifts massive open plan factory floor areas no end of staircases enough plenty of toilets roofs the lot, sure Goldie will give your correct info and history![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
yesterday evning on a solo recce............well it looked secure to me![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The Blue Fox does a battery change in ground floor kitchens/labs
H&S warning explorers about the dangers of urbex
some random productivity chart or orders chart or whatever, cold fingers meant we only half finished
uh oh EMERGANCY
dunno if this was some sort of ICE or just to shout at the workers
as you can see above all the stud walling and office fittings its a grand old oak framed building
that was standing a matter of weeks ago so dont know how long this one will last
canteen
know your colours by numbers!
this is the dead retro way to cool for school offices on a top floor, all tinted glass gave a great glow non of which my camera really picked up
caught them in the ladies
roof time, The Blue Fox found the key to the lift motor room bu the lock was jammed solid![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Goldie87 appears from the hatch a bit sheepish with god knows how many dog walkers giving us odd looks
NOT OURS

sorry, simple things please simple minds
loading bay
now then this is the old part with a small tower and the clocks on the outside i come up with a masterplan and find a ladder.....
im guessing near on 10foot climb on some random peice of creaky steel framework we found
and the hatch to the tower........
only to find it boarded up
you can see the mini tower thing up there, going to try and find our way to the clock workings next time
well after weeks of groaning about nothing todo in Leicester..........i think weve done ourselves proud :thumb
