They're actually panos, about 3 shots stitched with autostitch or Panorama Maker

Thanks for comments everyone
:)
 
Wow!

I was scoping that place recently with no joy of entering it without causing damage! So I backed out!
Well done on finding a way in and excellent pics!!!
 
Visited again with Alley and ric.

Didn't take many shots this time, knew the one's I wanted from last time.

Here they are then :)

I revisited earlier this month with several people after the NWEX Victoria Baths meet:


I'll leave it to someone else to post the abseiling photos!
 
*Ding* Abseilling photos you say?

Granted I only got Big Jobs, but at least it stopped him nicking my hat!

My first office building too which was good :)

Aytoun Street Labour Exchange was designed by David Thomson in 1936, however the war delayed its construction until 1951. Demolition was due in 2006 and the site earmarked for a 54 storey skyscraper which will be the third tallest building in Manchester after the Beetham tower and yet unbuilt Piccadilly Tower. Despite looking awfully run down, it does have its modernist charms.

The late Ian Curtis of Joy Division trained here in the 1970s.
