Second site of the weekend with msaunders1972, a backup after an early fail at Severalls. If you want to see it go quick, as it looks in imminent danger of serious internal collapse, some of the floors upstairs are among the dodgiest I've ever seen.
Won't bother with the history as it's been done a lot. It's a fantastic building though, and I can see now why it's called the house of mirrors. On the way back me and my coexplorer were discussing what we'd do to the place if we won the lottery, it's got to the stage now where someone needs to intervene and get a compulsory purchase order on it and save it.
This was the second outing for my new camera so am still getting used to all the new settings. Plus my tripod needs replacing as it's on a slight wonk. Couple of externals - these were taken on my phone after leaving as the weather took a turn for the worse and decided to chuck it down.
Thanks for looking, more pics can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157624967183123
