Farleys Building - Plymouth - September 2008

[Burt.Plymouth]

Ladies & Gentlemen…..

Its been documented before, however I took Mrs Burt, along with Penfold & met up with Sneakk for this one, we wanted a first hand explore before its too late.

So much Ford documents laying around, millions of Farleys tins etc.

Signs that someones living here too, as a newspaper is only 3 weeks old found in the secret room!

Great fun sliding down the chute on our arses, bloody filthy now

Nearly forgot this one....

Am getting "Arty" now, working out how to use the EOS properly!

 

[kernowexpeditionary]

i first did it at nite, u can get some great shots from up on the roof

 

[Burt.Plymouth]

Yeah I bet, perhaps I will at some point

What a place, I expected it to be really damp & horrible but its not that bad

 

[kernowexpeditionary]

- its a lot more wrecked than it was early this year- its such an easy site now, so its getting trashed,

 

[The Pirate]

That looks great and some really nice pics...

does this one.....

remind anyone of egg and peas ...or is that just me ???

 

[sneakk]

Was a good little hunt around this morning. Found a syringe in the hidden room with the jukebox.

It's sad to see how quickly bits have been smashed up and things have changed in comparison with the photos from visits not too long ago.

Here are some rooftop panoramas from my crappy mobile cam.

 

[Mrs Burt]

Well here are my pictures and account of the visit. First, I would like to appologise for the quality of the pictures, for a point and shoot they are not bad... Unfortuantely I must wai until Burt decides to upgrade his camera before I get a decent one

Empty tins all stacked up, ive never seen so many in my life...

And theres more...

Far more...

Millions infact...

That slide looks like fun but trust me, we tried it later and its filthy!

There was a fire at somepoint on this floor so we decided to carry on up...

What a view, a glimpse of Drakes Island

Leave it to the professionals...

Looking out over Millbay...

 

[Mrs Burt]

 

[Mrs Burt]

There really were some wonderful views...

Especially from the roof top, looking out to Drakes Island, the Sound and Mount Edgecombe...

Again looking towards Mount Edgecombe and the ferry terminal...

Looking over the city centre

The lift building on the rooftop...

So much for summer... that water proves that today was the first dry day in a while...

Looking down th lift shaft... scarey!!

ANYONE PLANNING TO EXPLORE WEAR SAFE SHOES AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS....

Well all in all I was amazed at how much was in there!

A brilliant trip although I was quite freaked out by the fact that we found a newpaper only two weeks old in a secret room along with a used needle!

Anyone planning to visit this site, or any other for that matter, please please be careful!

nice explore some great pics.

 

[Sabtr]

Excellent stuff! Looking round old places is fun and I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Looking at all those empty tins I bet it was hard not tripping on them. I can just hear the noise now!
I would be so tempted to let a few loose but that isn't exploring!
Well done and thanks for posting.

 

[Exploretime]

What a great place. I wonder how many of those tins are in there? Many great pics especially the numberplates. Great job everyone.

 

[Scotty]

welldone lads and lady

did you find the tins with food in them?

 

[sneakk]

No! Where were they! I was looking!

 

[Scotty]

No! Where were they! I was looking!

you might have skipped the floor, its the one with all the burnt tins and i think they are the only tins the building with tops and bottoms on.

i've been to many times lol

 

[sneakk]

aah, yeah the one with all the burnt cans didn't really look like we could get very far without getting injured or all the cans falling down the stairs and making a bloody big racket!

 

[lycos]
