Old building, Hulme 12/13!
I spotted this building while driving through Hulme, I took a closer inspection some time later and decided to 'Round up the troops!' For an explore!
Skudge was the only one to turn up so we got down there and found a way in!
Sadly I could find no information on the site apart from some paper work inside, it all seemed to point to Securicor having once occupied it. This was sealed by the rolls of coin wrap paper we came across! What it was before this I have no idea but would like to know!
It is in a pretty poor state of repair and the floor gave us a few scares, the cellar seemed to go on forever and the overall building felt bigger on the inside.
On with the pics!

Exterior!

From the Pepsi can, BT junction boxes and the hubs with AUI conectors on the front I would say it looks around the late 90's since it was last used.
 
Like the room with a view shot, the cellars look interesting and maybe worth more visits, I enjoyed looking, Thanks
 
The ranges and stone cold slabs in the cellars point to this building being occupied by many people in its original configuration.. A search of a late Victorian street directory should indicate the origins of the building, but charitable hospital, orphanage or even work house spring to mind. The cellars with the cold slabs remind me of the food storage cellars in the old Doncaster work house, which prior to demolition in the 1960's, housed the Area Chemical Laboratories and the Metallurgist Department of the old BR Eastern Region.
