Another one that has been done lots of times.

Tricky to get in as it is now a building site and as you'll see from the photos a lot of it has been ripped out, didn't get to see the more popular areas with security doing regular walks around the site.

We had a walk around the site from the correct side of the fence to find another way in to access the staircase and nursery - we even tried asking security but got a no. They told us that the nursery has all been ripped out and that the staircase is covered in scaffold because it wasn't stable anymore.

For anyone is interested in an apartment once it is completed, they're going at £250,000 with most if not all already sold.

On with the photos...

Nice one. TBH, i didnt realise this was still here. I take it the room with those stairs has gone? Nice photos
 
The whole building is being converted into apartments, about 200 in all I think along with houses within its massive grounds. The room with the stairs is still there but we couldn't get access to that side of the building so was stuck within one wing, security told us that the stairs are unsafe and are supported with scaffolding. I really wanted to see the corridor with the Lincoln cross detailing in the arches but couldn't get there either.
 
It's an amazing place although I can't help feeling like I have arrived late for the party but on the other hand pleased I got to see something of it rather than nothing at all.
 
Sad to see a lot of it going (water tower went ages ago). Last time I saw the nursery bit those murals were inside!
Fantastic set of photos, thank you for sharing! :)
 
did you bump into the Polish man mountain security dude ?

He is quite nice and polite actually :) (assuming he's still there)
