Right, im unsure where abouts this is, though it is in the area opposite The now demolished Hadden Tower in the Centre of Birmingham.

I scouted the area before hand, and there is a very active CCTV system around the site, but once your in, there is nothing watching over you.

I saw one work man whilst in the 1st tower but he dissapeared somewhere amongst the metal containers, so I carried on.

Not much to see inside the gutted towers or flats but quite interesting wallpapers and fantastic views.

From ground level, the place looks like a mini bomb site, like summet out of the news. Its surrounded by expensive houses and very big gardens, but in this enclosure, you could be thousands of miles away in a war zone.

Anyway, im currently editing the pics and the rest will be up tomorrow or Tuesday, but here are some to wet your taste buds:D

The following tower block is sealed on the stairway on the first floor up, so I could only gain access to the bottom floor. (the black lift shaft pic (to follow) is from this tower)

That's it, what do you think? I certainly enjoyed it, even if I did nearly get wedged between the white boards and ground when trying to crawl under the less than 30cm gap to get out of the site lol.
