I've not managed to find out a single thing about this landmark of the Hull skyline, perhaps others can help me out. Visited today with Thin Ice (nice to meet you :thumb), MagooČ and Scary Mary.
This one was hard work for various reasons and has taken a couple of attempts but we finally got in today and and were totally underwhelmed. What a let down :( The old warehouses next door were much more fun and photogenic so I'll put a report up for them separately ;)
From the outside this really is a dramatic looking building

Inside the taller building are dozens of hoppers? I think that's what they're called anyway. There's not much else in there and they seem to go right to the top of the building. There's a ladder that goes to the top but I didn't climb all the way as it looked like an awful lot of effort to see a landing at the top... glad I didn't carry on as it happened, as I would have been stuck up there when we had 'visitors' :ohmy

Inside the second smaller building under years' worth of pigeon shit was some machinery but nothing to get excited about.

...and the fire escape of doom!
