Went there in the wind and rain this afternoon with a friend who isn't really into this but wanted to have a look see. Access was easy, no sign of security. Didn't bump into any one other than what seemed to be a family. We were in the guts of the water tower when I spotted three teenagers and what looked like their dad smashing things about :rolleyes:, sat and waited for them to leave and left shortly after. Foolishly I didnt take a map so didnt see much got as far as the water tower then headed back. Pictures were pretty lame and the corpse count was zero. Ho hum. There was some tunnel action, short lived though as I didnt have anything to protect myself with with. The thunder and lightening did however add to the shitting of pants on a number of occasions. Any way....bring on the corridor shots! :D

This room created lots of creaking, dropping and tapping noises. The bastard.

The fridge areas were all dark and quite creepy for no reason, felt more like a slaughter house.

Its nice inside the water tower, the diesel engine in the base looks great, the slightly unstable walkways made me not hang around though so I didn't take pics! The sound of the wind rushing through the tower coupled with thunder was unnerving and fantastic, all at the same time.

Maybe imageshack is throwing its toys out the pram :( I'll be going back, and using my tripod, I bought it and it spends most of its time in its bag :D

Forgot the on top boiler shot.

This still works, shame it was smashed. The mechanism still seems smooth.

*EDIT - the kitchens are smashed and pretty much empty.

The room with the creaking, dripping and tapping noises. Used to have a giant dishwasher in it. Has it gone?

There was no sign of a dishwasher, or much else for that matter. The lean to at the back is smashed down

How old do we think these cocoon like lamp shades are? Lush.
