Background;

A pretty standard office building and the 5th tallest building in Pontefract (Woopidoo). Currently disused other than the second floor which is home to UKA 24/7, which is something to do with boiler services/insurance ect. The upper levels have plans to be made into flats in the near future.

The Explore;

So while waiting for a friends to finish work, i noticed a viable entry point. Having nothing else to do, i grabbed my camera gear from the car and in i went! Noting the cameras on the second floor outside UKA i took the lift to the top floor planning on getting to the roof. This however wasn't possible as with it being partly live the door was of course, locked :sad: . However i was not to be disheartened and i carried on! Whilst on the top floor, mid exposure, a door slammed. I grabbed my camera and took shelter behind a stack of roof tiles, waiting with ragged breath for the police/owner to appear... As the minutes passed it was clear that nobody was coming so i continued, admittedly with more caution and paranoia.

Couple of externals;
