after the trip to deva me and over where still in an exploring mood, so we went on to have a go at london road fire station! once we were in it didnt take long before we headed for the tower. been some where i wanted to see for a while, its mainly empty but still got intresting features!

a bit of history:- London Road Fire Station is a former fire station, police station and coroner's court, in Manchester, England. Designed and built between 1904 - 1906 by Woodhouse, Willoughby & Langham at a cost of £142 000. Until 1974 and the formation of the Greater Manchester Fire Service, it was the headquarters of the Manchester Fire Brigade.

Built of red brick and terracotta by Burmantofts it is now a Grade II* listed building in the Whitworth Street conservation area. Since 2001 the building has been listed as “at risk” by English Heritage.

some racking of some sort!
