OK – so this one’s a little bit different. Grouping a number of places together that would otherwise have resulted in a number of seperate reports. With three mornings to explore Liverpool and armed with loads of pins ( cheers @Bikin Glynn !) it turned into something of a fail-fest. It was down to a number of factors. Several places had been sealed up; I was exploring on my own plus the weather on two of the mornings was Goddam awful. Ironically, the first place I tried was a success (The Deaf Institute – report HERE ) as was Heap’s Rice warehouse (Report HERE ) on the final morning when I met up with @urbanchemist In between, it was wall-to-wall fails. Hence grouping the pictures up here.
Sometimes things are like that...
1. Protestant Martyr's Memorial Church
Had two shufties at this place. Both days it was chucking down with rain and both ended in failure. Even struggled to get any decent externals. See the report by @UrbandonedTeam HERE to see what I missed.
2. Central Hydraulic Tower, Birkenhead
This place became something of a go to place about 10 years ago when it was something of a right-of-passage to go up THAT staircase to the top of the tower. I didn’t even get in the building. To see what I missed see @tweek and their excellent report from August 2011 HERE
Here’s a few externals as it pretty from the outside:
And nearby:
3. Littlewoods Building
So wasn’t too optimistic about this place post the fire but banked on getting into the air-raid shelters at the very least. Failed on both counts as the latter had been freshly resealed so double failure here. See @urbanchemist and his staggeringly good reports on the main building HERE and Air-raid shelters HERE
3. Welsh Presbyterian Church, Toxteth
Derped to f*ck but worth a look given it was just across the way from the Deaf Institute. This place had “benefited” from a step up in its perimeter fence making it a bit too much to tackle in the rain. Shame as despite being pretty far gone, it still has its charms. Here see @Degenatron and his report from February 2012 HERE
4. Docks Around Bootle
Lot’s of empty buildings here. Shame I didn’t get time for a proper look at some of them.
Old warehouse on Dickson Street:
Derped warehouse on Brunswick Place:
Victoria Tower, Salisbury dock:
Connecting bridges between warehouses at the MDE Tobacco warehouses:
