I think I'm gonna go back and have a look to see if it's been wrecked. Hopefully it's not locked down.

Good pictures Graham.
What a shame and what a waste of the place though. 
Especially the swimming pool.
That gymnasium/hall would make a cracking indoor small car hanging arena.
I think it's cool that chaps like you simply go in as a matter of interest and record it for others to view and for posterity.
What I simply cannot understand is the kind of arseholes that have already been there and smashed the place up. I simply cannot comprehend what they derive from being destructive.
What would make sense would be to take advantage of the place for free, i.e. (and I know it's far fetched) getting the pool up and running and using it gratis, or perhaps using the hall for sport or model car meets or using the weight lifting equipment.
Just smashing it up displays an empty mind and a pointless and hopeless individual.

You'd be shitting it in that dark corridor with the green light at the end.
Plentiful supply of Dunlop Green Flash there.
I'd love that pale blue telephone box for the back garden.

Just finished reading the news reports and the 28DL threads.
If caught, i'd make the scum that destroyed the place work hard labour to pay for repairs and i'd make them physically help with all the repairs too.
Especially the dirtydangerous/shitty bits.

Try explaining that to the Old Bill, they couldn't understand what I gained from it so were sure I was up to something!
Couldn't agree more, it's very strange walking into a place that 1 week ago, was in much better condition. Amazing how something changed so much over night. I really wish I'd manage to capture on camera how destroyed it was, I barely touched the surface before I was caught.
The place is now apparently covered by Police and Armed Police stormed the place the night I was discovered in there, maybe I spooked them or they were just clearing it before they board it up good and proper, who knows. I know I'm staying away from the place now, I just look forwards to anything printed in the papers about it!

Didnt know anything about all this urban exploring, to say im intrigued is an understatement.
Just need a good camera as there are loads of places quite local to me that would be good locations.

Theres a few abandoned places out cheadle way.
Just go for a drive and keep your eyes open, or google maps may be a good way to look for possible places.

WTF. My pics are on that video and I even got a thankyou, lol!
I can't seem to find videos of anywhere else in the building, I still can't believe how well set up it was, laser party and all sorts. Looks rammo and that was only in the gym!
