So this was my 4th Visit to the place, 1st visit was for the first half with the restaurant/bar side
2nd visit was to the other half, Unaccessable to us at the time, But failed as there were Polish guys nicking all they could, 3rd time my camera died,
So in this case, 4th time lucky ;)

After battling through gale force winds, some 60 foot up on the roof, and treacherous down pours, A few people falling into half foot deep puddles, weaving in and out of bushes to avoid security we managed to reach our destination

After checking that upon this visit we would'nt be joined buy metal thieving polish people, We set about taking photos:-

Open Plan office by UrbanLewis, on Flickr

Now this is when i was truly shocked, I opened a door, Expecting so see some more pretty boring offices, But what stood before me was, In my opinion pretty awsome!
Huge steel wook run the hight of the some 25foot ceiling
Chains hanging from everywere, Pipes, after pipes, Airvent ducts, It all looked so industrial i loved it :D

This room, It had real human shit in it, The smell of human excretion that hits you like a freight train, Once you enter that room is truly sickening

Well without sounding too discouraging you have doubled up by posting some shots twice, 2 and 3, 4 and 5 for example and way too many similar shots of the lab(gas taps)shots. Less is more.
People probably haven't commented because of this and theres not much variation IMO, although quite a few of thanked you. Take another look at some other peoples posts on here .Try to gauge what makes for a more interesting post.

At the end of the day it looks like you've enjoyed yourselves. That's what matters.

Ah, Fair Enough, Ill Cut Down On The Pictures Next Time, And Yeh I Suppose, The Labs Were The Best Part IMO Though
And Yeah, It Was Great Fun :lol:
 
Nice one, looks like you has fun!
Don't be disheartened by comments or lack of, sometimes an epic asylum might get nothing and a pillbox gets mobbed, just depends whose on!
Keep up the reports :)

True. It also depends on what people are interested in or whether they've seen it yet or not. Personally, it's not the kind of place that grabs me, but I do appreciate your post as your pics are very good. And I'm still catching up with a stack of unreads, which could be the case with others here too. Keep on though and don't give up. :)
 
I enjoyed looking at your report.

Don't let a lack of comments put you off. It just depeneds who's on & what their interested in.

Look forward to seeing more reports from you :)
