This is my second visit here but after 4 hours there the last time we still missed quite a lot (And still didn't get into one this time) I went with my nephew (High Tower) the first time and his youngest bro (Matt) wanted to go if we went again.
The day didn't start as planned as I was up all night with a bug which had been going around the family, but not wanting to let my nephew down and I wasn't going to drive I decided to go. I was picked up at 6 and including a Mac Breakfast stop we arrived just after 10.
We parked up and was walking down a lane when 2 dogs appeared around a corner, then the woman owner, I thought the worse but after a quick "Morning" we carried on and into the place. To get out of sight quick we jumped into the first building we came to and worked our way around the site, we found a couple of new wards and then over to the nurses quarters. Isn't it always the way, we found a entry point where it was a very tight squeeze only to find a much bigger, easier one just further on later. All bar the down stairs in this building being mostly boarded off, all three floors are very much the same so didn't take that many photos.
Then it was up to the coal silos, Matt was the first up followed by HT. I am not a great lover of heights and not feeling to good didn't help, but it just had to be done, I was completely knackered time I got to the top and couldn't wait to get back down, so only took a couple or shots.
for set here

Thanks for looking
This was the first of 5 places I had planed for the day and with the next over a hour away we were only here for less than a couple of hours.
Goths Chapel coming soon.
