Old Parcelforce Building and Temple Meads station, Bristol - 2012

I've been to this place before, but the quality of the photos was not great at all given I only had a point and shoot every time. So thought it was about time to return with some Nikon SLR goodness. This was my first proper adventure, which partially sparked my interest in this hobby, so also a special one for me.

Not knowing if the place was still doable, we headed over to Temple Meads after some fun in some drains, and, after some logical thinking, it didn't disappoint!

This is always an adrenaline fuelled mission, every time I've done it the rush has been amazing!

When will something happen to the old Parcelforce building? Who knows. For now, we can only enjoy it for it's views and links to Temple Meads whilst it's still there. They've recently acquired a little dog on site which always makes life a bit more interesting of course, but all part of the fun!

Cheers

Brilliant pictures, especially of Temple Meads! Am I right in thinking that they've since demolished the part of Parcelforce from which you could stand above the train tracks?

Cool as the pictures are, I've heard a bunch of scary stories about this place being dangerous in terms of criminal activity and squatters. Is there any truth to this?

It may be 3 years old but that last shot is a snorter
