There is another thread on here which shows all the external views & has all the history of the site , but i can't work out how to link it here.
I have friends who run a workshop in the base of this building so access was not too difficult , but i only had about 1/2 hour to do my first explore.
i had been warned about the state of the place , so i took the precaution of gloves , face mask , etc. I 'm really glad i did as this has to be the most unpleasent place i've ever been in (i'm new to this remember). The only residents in the place for the last few years have been pigeons and lots of them !.This means that everything has approx 50-75mm of pigeon poo all over it & i mean EVERTTHING ! . Obviuosly this means that you can't tell what you're walking on , so it's a little unerveing.I ventured up as far as i could using the stairs , but access further up is by vertiacl ladders , covered in poo & boxed in by what looks like asbestos sheeting , so i decided to give that a miss & concentrate on photos from where i had easy acces to.
(This is my first attempt at a post so please forgive any mistakes !)
