Visited with Alley, Solomon and Sam

After the last visit, we saw several features on the other side of the mersey which warranted a return trip. So after figuring out a different access route, away we went.

It's pretty much the same construction as the other side, with new built directly on old. So Without further ado, here's the shots.

(This one was thanks to Alley, thanks :) )

It's a dead crayfish, and I liked him.

As mentioned in the last thread, there used to be underground toilets, that disappeared at some point. Well, we found these stairs

That lead to a small room with three doors. there's a drain in the floor, and tiles on the wall.

It looks like the toilets have been converted :s

With one of the doors unlocked, it was the general consensus that it would be rude not to say hello, but once opened it lead to a corridor and a set of steps to a fire escape door, uncertain wether it was alarmed or not, we decided that we'd pushed our luck enough, and retired to back to the relative safety of the mersey.

So, a couple of people shots before we left, and that was it.

All in all, a good night, with comedy access again, and a change of clothes afterwards. :D
