This building is one of the main attractions for urban explorers who come from all over the country in an attempt to get inside.

It is one of the hardest buildings to get into as it is well secured plus there are always a lot of people around who will see you trying to get in.

There have been many pictures downloaded over the years on "Derelict Places" and "28 Days Later".

Some of my friends love this hobby. They keep asking me to go with them but at my age climbing through small gaps and over gates is a non-starter.

They do respect the places they go to and never remove anything or disturb the contents.

I agree that they do a great job, seem to always respect the buildings and most impressively capture the most amazing photographs and videos.

Long may they all continue!

I've watched many of those videos, very enjoyable to watch. Was a bit concerned that some damage may be inflicted to buildings but its good to know that they have that respect. 

Quite envious of them, loved to do something like.

I'm  guessing it's quite dangerous tho.  There was the young fella who died "urban exploring" in the old Hallam Towers a year or 2 back.
