# it's the same size as a normal torch
batteries only last 40 min so it's only used for lighting while I get pics. It also has the bonus of being heavy just in case I bump into undesirables

Trouble is with Manchester, you can't do this, due to the methane levels.

Fire Storm

# Interesting stuff.
I see on your blog that you've done quite a few places around my home town of Stockport. My first job was in a shop that Tin Brook ran under (Electro Supplies on Little Underbank). I went to an excellent rave in the abandoned Barnes Hospital a few years ago, but you're not going to get in their now, as they have 24h security.

BTW, that isn't an Amiga in your Taxel Lodge pics -- it's an Acorn Archimedes A3000...!

# I don't blame 'em...
When I was there, the top floor was a death trap with lots of rotten/missing floorboards and inches thick layers of pigeon shit. The other floors weren't much better. I fell into a hole in a pitch-black internal room (was using my mobile phone as a torch and didn't see it)...luckily, it wasn't very deep or have anything in it to impale me.

# Pity...
there must be other ways in though?

I've lived in Stockport all my life and have never been in the air-raid shelters, even with the parts that are now open to the public...!

you can't climb up it

there appear to be a few manhole entrances, although I've no idea how accessible they'd be.
