THE BLOCK


I visited this place last week. After my last explore of the northern quarter, i decided to return for another look around and stumbled across this place. I walked around it trying to find access and a name of some sort for my research, there didnt seem to be any name on the outside or anything of use on the inside, so being so inventive and creative i ve called this THE BLOCK!

I m guessing that the building is around 100-150 years old and had been a warehouse of somesort. It was cold, damp and pretty discusting inside. it was clear when i went in that its been closed for a bloody long time and i was probably the first person to set foot in there for years. Any how it had a lovely staircase!

Looks like an interesting old place

That lightwell over the stairs is nice, and rather grand for a place like this.
