Such a shame to see a once proud tower is such a state. Good photo's:) Most embarissing thing is I remember going to the cinima to watch the film, not one of the best I have seen and proably best forgotten.

This is the place we went back to recently.

I first looked a it last year, but did not have the guts to go over... i then found this site and it gae me a little more confidence.

I didnt know anyone else had been, but as its not hidden away i know we would not have been the first photographic explorers

Anyway, a few months later, i went for it! :D


Its changed alot since the above visit... as they've cleared all of the surrounding area and i suspect will be shortly knocking it down.

Its a really great building to visit, the way the light comes through the small windows is stunning, and mother nature continuing to advance at a pace has left vines and trees sprouting wherever they can.

Its also quite tall, and the stairs are still in good shape so you can get all the way to the top.



I took a model and MUA and we had a great few hours, got completely muddy and scared ourselves on occasion...


but was very pleased with the result. A bit of glamour for a tired old building. :)

It's not the most suitable clothing for exploring...
 
Sneaks now that is some wicked pics, I was going to hire a model and get some pics some were, beaten to it tho! Has any one else done OTHER things at urbex sites or is that just sick me?
 
Is there much left of the banger track? It closed a couple of years back as apparently the MOD wanted the land back or something, a sad loss to the sport:(

Judging by the amount of dodgy 70s and 80s porn I'm always seeing I think you're not the only one, but this site isn't about that ;)
 
Unless that doorway in photos 4 and 5 was built fer midget airmen that girl is mighty tall ...
