hISTORY- The rock fire station opened in 1965 as part of the lancashire fire brigade , in april 1974 it became part of the fledgling greater manchester borough , bury fire brigade became part of the greater manchester county fire service , the rock was the third fire fighting building to stand on the site .
greater manchester fire and rescue services closed the station in 2012 after 45 years service to the people of bury and surrounding districts , the rock has now been replaced by a state of the art community fire station in magdalene road bury .
the 5 bay station and headquarters remains abandoned and complete very near the town centre !
THE VISIT- while coming back from a re-visit to the old bury police station i felt the urge to put a kfc into my neck , when me and my derping sidekick @Cazel#HT came out we wandered across the car park to find my car and we happened to casually look at the fire station , we went over and stared through the windows to see what it was like , then we patrolled around the perimeter and i found a possible way in ! a week later we came back suitable prepared for a quick entry just before sun up , after entering we set off an alarm in under 1 minute !!!!! WARNING ! YOUR PRESENCE HAS BEEN RECORDED AND SECURITY OFFICERS ARE ON THERE WAY ! at this point we scarpered covering our point of entry , we waited at a point to see if any secca turned up , after about half an hour i went back to hear that the alarms had re-set themselves and no security vans had turned up to see what the racket was ! in we went again checking every nook n cranny for sensors , we covered a few rooms and crawled down corridors on our hands n knees to avoid the sensors which were set at waist height , we set of the alarms again by opening a door straight into a sensor , FUCK ! we yet again legged it but was not able to hide our entry again , we sat in my car and noted the response times of the secca , after half an hour 2 security vans from the council turned up to check the perimeter , and then entered the station to flush us out in case we had remained inside ! luckily they never found our entry point ! lol....we had a good chuckle at seeing them scratch there heads , when they gave up we sneaked back in more aware of where all the sensors where set up ! we spent another hour or so cautiously checking the place out , all the staircases were covered by sensors with no way around them , we bit the bullet and said FUCK IT ! we purposely set off the sensor on a stairwell knowing that there was no way around it ! we ran upstairs and took some shots while timing ourselves so we were long gone before secca turned back up in force , we was bloody knackered by the time we left , as far as i know this may be the first report on this fire station ! if you know different then let me know please !
THE PICS- as usual the shots were taken with my beloved canon 10-18mm wide angled lens , feel lost using anything else !
ENJOY THE PICS FOLKS !
