# I've never been spooked anywhere else
but when I was setting up the camera voices echoed down from the street above and it was really unsettling.

# 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.

we do like our tealights, you just have make sure the methane won't go BANG - otherwise this would also be very stupid as well.

# 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.
