Did i not put up a report from here?!
lol!
This is the place i lost my remote shutter release... three visits later by three different people and it still hasnt turned up :mad:

Still, Went up here a couple of times with a few different people so i'll include pics from both visits!!

Stuck in a pretty grim area of middlesbrough, the council offices seemed to me to be a nice place to work.. really airy with biiiiiig windows and large rooms.
Cant seem to find an awful lot of history on the place, its a very impressive building though, and more than a little bit out of place among the big industrial units nearby.
Anyhow, piccies...

We sat and watched their practice session!

Right, out into the garages around the back....

We didnt get much further than this, because on the discovery of a recently slept in and very nicely made bed..... we heard a door close further up the corridor. After stopping, and a quick headcount we sharp came to the realisation that it wasnt one of US so we made our way outside. As did the local, who dissapeared in the opposite direction.
:ohmy

So, to finish off, a few externals......

So, all in all a nice relaxed explore. However, there IS a squatter or two.... namely out the back in the garages but also on the top floor, right hand side where the kitchens are so if you are going, be careful and take a maglite in case you need to clobber someone...
