Am a bit late to the posting party on this one loolz.
I thought it was pretty ace here, a lot better than i thought it would be, after the babies castle fiasco where a group of youths were in seconds after us but rather loudly then just as loudly out again when they saw us staring at em haha , then old dears pointing at us, not too long later the sound of sirens, a lesson learnt on a previous splore where we thought "nah its just an ambulance" has served us well since and probably saved our skins at Mansfield Hospital, is if you hear sirens just presume there for YOU and act accordingly either leave or hide , we just jumped out in the nick of time to see cop car pass top of lane, we were back in the car and moved to the front of the place to look at the map for our next location and just 3 feet away from us copper stood behind car looking around with notebook out haha and with that off to Lilesden.
Quite a wonderous place since its closure it seems to have attracted a wide variety of 'creatives' who have left there marks in various ways in the form of left over props from illicit photoshoots or artwork from some pretty gifted and not soo gifted vandal graff artists rightly or wrongly this has rendered the place into some kind of underground Tate gallery
Plus the buildings ripe for photography in its own decaying right too
I love checker floors perhaps they remind me of the first CGI textures in 3d renderers
Someone asked how are the floors in here, erm ...
Ah well one more left over prop borrow for a the closing LILESDALIEN shot
Look out for Splore Tour Part 4
