Lead or Rumour info - Buildings next to Stockport College.

[NoodleThesis]

Was having a good look around Stockport the other day for some new stuff to explore and I came across this. It's the area next to the college. Place is obviously derelict/abandoned. Lots of boards up and smashed windows. Anyone who is local to the area will know which place I mean. What's the deal with this anyway? I vaguely remember hearing some years ago that it used to be St. Thomas's but it was bought by the college for a campus expansion or something. Access looked easy enough but there were SK signs up (you know the ones lol) and what looked like fairly recent CCTV camera installations. Anyone know if sec are active there and cams are monitored? Would like to know the risk from someone who may have been here. I spent a good 30 minutes having a good look around the perimeter and just as I was leaving a police car and a white van turned up which put the willies up me. Looks like a potentially awesome explore if anyone wants to go and check it out?

It's this place. http://goo.gl/maps/JnjLx

tl;dr how safe it it?

Just give it a go. If you get caught you get caught..

I was thinking along similar lines but I thought I may as well ask anyway just in case someone told me something I didn't know, potentially avoiding an unnecessary 8 hours in a cell. :laugh

Loads of people got caught while it was derelict. Security had dogs. Now it's got new pipes in, it may be even better patrolled.
Not trying to put you off though. Pick the right place and time

Ah..I remember this place It's only a stones throw from the Police station
Could do with having a gander

I guess part of the fun is dodging sec. Really wanting in now. The challenge is appealing

St Thomas. Heard many people getting caught in here. Go for it lol

Had some fun here back in the day, security throwing stones at me through a window was a highlight.
