Around The Back49 viewsThe first glimpse of the Stable Block: as you can see, someone tacked a meat prep. and canning factory to the back of it!

The Stable Block59 viewsThe actual stable block. At least they tried to make the boarding look a little more inviting with some fake windows painted in!

Del On The Roof40 viewsOn the one hand, the snow and ice can be a pain in the ass - but on the other: this rotten roof which normally wouldn't support a pigeon's weight, is frozen solid! This makes it ideal for not only supporting our weight on top, but allowing us to get up in the first place; using the holes rotted through the collapsed section as a ladder!
Del is up first.

The Grand Entrance45 viewsThis must have looked the business back in the day.
|
|
CourtYard Pano49 viewsLooking around inside the courtyard. At one point, this entire area was roofed for the canning operation.
In fact, the stables is nicely split: with the upper floors having offices and canteen while the lower floors have laboratories and testing equipment.

|
The TelePhone Switch62 viewsNo one is manning the telephone exchange any longer... Whoever was on last left the instruction manual out for the next person though.
Handy!
|
|
The Burnt Light49 viewsAs usual, Neds have attempted to set fire to the building. While they failed overall (drywall doesn't burn, retards) they did manage to melt this light.
It oozes its way to the floor, in the slowest escape you'll ever see!
We press on to find the 'room with the curtains' we saw from outside.
|
|
The Board Room51 viewsThe Boardroom! Even with a fairly low ceiling, it's still looking impressive.
This must have been a cool building to work in.
|
|
The Conference Room37 viewsThrough the magic curtains: the Conference Room!
I'm gonna assume they were big into teleconferencing, because there isn't room for 10 people in here!!
|
|
The Conference Room FirePlace46 viewsHmmmm. Nice fireplace... Shame someone made off with it!
|
|
The Lab50 viewsHeading back downstairs, the food laboratory greets us.
|
|
The Fume Cupboard56 views
|
|
The Kitchen Sink39 viewsThe canteen has clearly seen better days.
|
|
The Cookers44 viewsYeuch.
|
|
Del s Quality49 viewsUnwittingly, Del sums up the entire 'Urban Exploration' concept.
ACE!
|
|
The Snow Cock42 viewsAnyways, we've pretty much had the tour... For while the stables has an impressive footprint, it's actually not so big inside.
We draw a quick 'snow cock' for good measure as we leave.
