Second of two reports on the legendary George Barnsley's. The history can be found on part one of my report here:

Part two consists of pictures from the upper two floors of GBs, starting with the legendary three-walled storage room.

The dodgy bridge between parts of the first floor is now, erm, impassable:

Love the perspective in this shot:

Bed of nails for a small rodent?

Plenty to get to grips with here:

That graff artist gets EVERYWHERE. Bit of a one-trick pony if you ask me:

Innit just. The idiots always ruin it for the true explorers.

Cheers man. Still crossable if you fancy taking your life into your hands!

Hey this is insane man! I was just wondering how you got into this place and if its still available to visit?

This is probably one of the most fascinating sets of pictures I've seen, being a leather worker myself it's quite exciting to see awl handles laying around, and the image of different knives. I'd love to own one of those awl handles and get a blade in it! I do think I have a couple of old tools by George Barnsley somewhere in my work room. Thanks for the great pictures!

Thank you Awheks. The handles were just literally laying around. Currently not easy to explore by the lack of results. Hope the place gets renovated sympathetically.
