Ding Ding, round 2 of my urbex adventures. This time to the Corah building in Leicester with a group of people, some I knew, some I didn't but later found out they were the professionals of urbex! lol.
Brief history....Nathaniel Corah was born in 1777, started a small textile business in his 20's, got into debt, went to debtors prison, came out, set up this textile/hosiery place.
It's HUGE and easy to loose your bearings. I don't think I even scratched ther surface of what you could find here but it's a pretty amazing place.
