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...!

The security at Barnes don't go inside due to H&S reasons ;)

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...!

I've been in 3 of the air raid shelters, the other end of tin brook outfalls under the precinct you can't climb up it

Looking at other people's reports,there appear to be a few manhole entrances, although I've no idea how accessible they'd be.
