Tobacco Warehouse, Liverpool report 29/6/08

[4737carlin]

Stanley Dock Liverpool, the Tobacco Warehouse is the largest brick building in the world with 27 million bricks and today is still the worlds largest warehouse. Hadn't ever done this place even thou id looked at it 100's of times from the outside. A real Liverpool dock land landmark.
The bridge on Waterloo Road is blocked off now due to erosion, never bothered with any externals myself on Sunday

Visited on Sunday with 3 explorers from down south. Access is pretty easy, just got to be bold and go for it, which we did no problem.
No real problem getting out either apart from some little tosser in a tracksuit telling security but it was nothing more than a few questions, since there is %100 nowt inside the upper floors theres nowt to rob!!

We started in the south warehouse and moved across the walkways into the large building

The floor were vast with nowt on them apart from puddles of water and moss, i half expected it might be like that

Eventually to the top of the stairs and the working above the lift

eventually to the roof but the rain kept my camera inside and the tiles was to slippy to really try our luck on them.

Plenty of old dock land graffiti about with some political rambling around the place as well

The old silo at the back of Stanley Dock looks worth a explore at some point, maybe next time
