As this is my first report here I'll introduce myself, I'm Psy and this was my first Urban Exploration experience in nearby Billingham House ICI Office Block which I visited along with Monty at around 4pm.
(I know its been done so many times before (sorry, I appologise for any repetition of what others have done before) but as it is being demolished very soon I wanted to document a final look in there before it goes).

Distance shot - as you can see on the front of the building the demolition crew have already begun assembling their rubble chute.

Lots of windows, none of which have any glass left in them

I believe this pully system is related to the Paternoster lifts
