Visited this place a little while back with Magpie, but I didn't have my camera. So decided to return for a solo mooch. Placed is totally trashed and pigeons have certainly left their mark, it's a bit unsettling on your own as parts are pitch black and the pigeons are scurrying about all over. Enjoyed it all the same
