My memory is a bit rusty with time, but the power tools and banging could have been the local kids who built the skate ramp in the laundry loading bay. I was amazed how much they were able to do in there, especially considering they were hardly subtle about doing it. All got stripped out when security finally caught on mores the pity.

Superb pics, I luv corridors to and peeling paint, I'm sure I've done the water tower, there is about 6ft of water at the bottom and the ladder was soooooooo rusty didn't look down lol but at the top the view was awesome.

It was definitely before Michael's reign there mate, there was a lull in security around the time and you could pretty much walk around the site without any problems, hence why they were able to construct a full-on skate park in one of the buildings. Michael changed all that of course, made it much more fun.
