You should see the one's in Germany! - Behind The City
http://www.behind-the-city.com/2011/12/you-should-see-ones-in-germany.html
You should see the one's in Germany! The day started early, with me picking Morse up and heading up to Saddleworth to meet FB. We then tanned it over to Leeds to hit St Michael's College. Leeds Catholic College opened in 1905 and later became St Michael's College in 1933. Mount St Mary's College merged with St Michael's in 2005, with the St Michael's College site closing in 2008. We then bounced on over to this beast of a church. We then headed home via Opel 3. Thanks for looking,. City Tower, Manchester.

Chatterley Whitfield Colliery, Stoke on Trent. Me and HiddenShadow headed down to Stoke on Trent to pay Chatterley Whitfield a visit, I'd wanted to do this place for ages, so when the chance arose, I jumped at it. With a rather early start, we were fed and watered and climbing palisade fences well before 10 AM. On the way home we stopped at Morilew pottery which was full of stuff but rather shit still. The Knightmare Rollercoaster, Camelot Theme Park. Clipstone Colliery, St John's Asylum and more. 8216;T...

West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum. West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, AKA High Royds, is an abandoned psychiatric hospital just outside of Leeds, in the village of Menston. The hospital was opened in 1888 and closed in 2003. The asylum was designed by Edward Vickers, and is a broad arrow design. Some more information from wikipedia. Our visit to High Royds, started early sunday morning with me picking Skrill up earlier than planned, due to the clocks going forward. We were in, It was f*cking awesome!

SNC Mash Up - Manchester Uni Campus. A couple of weeks ago, a private message was sent out over Facebook by Mr Millhouse. That message outlined plans for a party in Manchester. Fast forward 2 weeks and twenty odd of us were tearing Manchester a new one. The night continued until the early hours with us sat inside MSS with Sharon the SNC Stereo blasting out some fine beats, beers flowing and stupidity everywhere. A group decision was then made to go run the Uni tunnels. Hilarious isn't the word. After dic...

Since Myself and HS hit NGTE Pyestock back in May, We have both been desperate to get back and finish off what we started. Then Fishbrain suggests a trip in October, I was in immediately. Friday night arrived and I picked HiddenShadow up and headed back to my house to meet Fishbrain, we loaded our stuff into his Fiesta and headed into Manchester to pick up Gone and Tweek. With the 5 of us crammed into the car like sardines in a can, complete with rucksacks and sleeping bags, we began our 250 mile trip.

Mobil Oils, Birkenhead. Me and Gone were chatting a couple of days ago, and I mentioned Mobil Oils to him, he agreed that we should make the trip down to Birkenhead. With access resembling a bit of an assault course, Mobil Oils was pretty good. F*cked, but good. We didn't spend that long on the site, with us basically just having a bit of a wander and a few pictures. History and some good shots of the place covered on Hs's report : Click. Big thanks to Gone. Thanks for looking,. The works shut down in 20...

Totley Cavern, Sheffield. Just over a year ago, Morse and Gone were discussing the possibility of what lies in Totley tunnel. It has been rumoured that when the tunnel was being built, a large natural cavern was discovered and was incorporated into a fifth air shaft. Anyway, the cavern was soon put on the back burner and we carried on with other stuff. Until April 2012 when Morse shouted up about it again. Roll on to mid May and Gone, Morse, Tweek, Fishbrain, Sho, Millhouse and Myself headed back. We cra...
