Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse - 09/07/06

[turkey]

Right, to kick off we decided to go to liverpool last night, and I realised we would be trying this out.

Me and dweeb met with snappel outside, and headed into the bustling market which is housed on the ground floor. This place is awesome!

After a truly comedy entrance, really stealthy!...we were in, and my god, it was like a time capsule! There was years old graffiti from the workers, intact lights, lift equipment etc. It was a warehouse so it was reasonably empty but here's a few pictures.

This was a seriously top explore, and splitting up 3 ways to make our exit was all the more fun!!! swarming with security!
