Firstly, before you check this out, have a look at Georgie's original report HERE (http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php/8346-Lewis-s-5th-Floor-Liverpool-May-2010?highlight=lewis) :thumb
Secondly.. someone needs to hang their head in shame for this, absolute Sacrilege :wanker
I have wanted to see the 5th floor for an age now, with one thing after another getting in the way, even failing to make the final tours due to other comittments
I had finally given up once I heard the demo team had moved in and started yoinking stuff out
Now if you have read Georgie's report, you may want to look away now, all the good stuff has been yoinked/skipped, and all for what, some shitty retail clusterfuck!
Access was LulZ to say the least, even drawing some unwanted attention whilst inside..

Anyway once inside we headed to the 5th floor
First stop the Lifts

Omnomnomnom (NOT), this place has been gutted to an inch of it's life, just like the rest of the place, except the tiles are listed and still remain
