Its not the most interesting of sites and its pretty trashed in places, but there are a few interesting features I wanted to see after viewing a report a couple of weeks back.
Did not attempt the water tower, had a look up from the top floor and there were more holes on the way up than solid steps, so decided to give it a miss as I was alone.
