After being denied access at the birkdale school for the deaf by the phoniest looking 'security guard' ever we resorted to plan b.... and found ourselves at Liverpool's old tobacco warehouse. Though the site itself is completely bare the atmosphere was epic to say the least, it was really weird being in this old empty warehouse with the hussle and bussle of the sunday market beneath.
Thanks to Broughton Boy and Buried Alive for all the trecking about ;) and now, on with the pics!

External shot of the main warehouse, it's a bit big isn't it lol

Thats brilliant. I drive past that place alot and always wondered what its like inside. Its absolutely massive.

Yup it's pretty big alright, shame there's not more to see inside but it was good exercise at least climbing up stair after stair lol. If you're in the area you should check it out some time, the top floor's beautiful!
