Yet another from the summer, one that was a definite why didn't we do this place sooner sites. We arrived at 8am on a saturday morning to find the place littered with demo contractors running around ready to start a days distruction of history. A good portion of the site had already gone so we decided we would head off and do another site and return once it had quietened down to ensure we didn't miss it. Luckily the admin and main hall remained so that was the focus of my pics.

Admin clock tower, no matter how much i tried i could not find the staircase up to it. I assume it had been boarded over during modernisation.
