Loxford Tower - Manchester - Feb 2008

Visted this place on the spare of the moment with the Grimreaper, was meant to do it months ago but never got round to it.

But a friend rang and said that demolition is well underway and it was now or never so off we went.

Was great fun trying to find the staircase that lead to the roof, but got there in the end

Was quite shocked to discover three plant machine on the roof, guess that they was craned up there, but no signs of a crane on site

Re: manchester University building

Great first report dude! Nice shot of the diggers on the roof. I guess they were air-lifted or something!!!! Did you get many more interior shots> The corridor shot is cool!

It is pretty high, but nothing spectacular, 8 floors I think but high enough that you wouldnt wanna fall off

I hope that you took precautions if you went onto any of the floors as the place is full of asbestos dust and fibres.
