Seems a bit wasteful, I guess the Lancet and British Medical Journal are computerised now?

Looked at these two take..not sure if they were for oil,water or gas.they are situated near an old World War Two airfield so I wonder if they might be something to do with them.one the ceiling had collapsed in.the other was whole and a squeeze through the the hole.the echo was fantastic inside..

Forgot I had these pictures when I came across them today. Never did a report at the time as these are all externals. The place in question is the deco gem that was the old Main Post Office in Sheffield. It stood empty for years and was sealed tight as a gnat's chuff. Only saw a handful of reports on the place over the years. Now it's all been renovated and is weeks if not days from being handed over to Sheffield Hallam University who have taken out a long lease on the place. Not too sure how all the fab railings escaped the chop in WWII but survive they did. Anyhow, thought I'd post these pictures from two or three year's ago when it was looking a bit worse for wear.

Railings tended to survive the war if they were protecting a drop into the cellar space below.
