I went into the Warner's site today to finish off a film and after taking a few pics around the main buildings I ventured down to the bottom of the the site to take some more. Walking back, a car came whizzing along so I walked up to talk to the two guys in the car. One jumped out and I almost thought he was going to manhandle me into the car. He was very irate!
Apparently, I was the third person caught trespassing since the weekend and he told me that he had no option but to call the police. With much apologising and the promise to leave straight away and not come back, he conceded to let me go. He asked me several pertinent questions, including how I know about the site. After I'd explained that I'm local and an amateur historian documenting the demise of the place he realised he'd seen me around and calmed down considerably.
I MUST STRESS THIS, that the fact I'm local and he did recognise me is the only reason I got away with it. The next person to be caught and they WILL call the police.
He also told me that the site is very dangerous as there are several holes beneath the grass around the caravan foundations which lead to the sewers!
PLEASE NOTE. If I pm anyone about getting into explores then PLEASE use the access that I've suggested and not go in another way. It has taken me several weeks; months even, many recces, a lot of slog and a lot of leg-work to ascertain the easiest and least noticeable access into places.
Needless to say I will not be pm'ing anyone else about this particular site. If anyone wants to risk it then I do not wish to be held responsible and I would also appreciate it if they they do not reveal their source to be a 'local lady' if caught. It isn't that I don't want others to enjoy these finds; quite the contrary, as I'm pleased to share.
Forgive the plain speaking and I'm really not pointing any fingers but I feel it must be stressed that there are reasons why certain access points and times to go are given rather than others. Having said that, the access that others have used is now blocked off and having sussed out how I got in then it's only a matter of time before that way is blocked-off too.
Cheers
