I've been fascinated by the pyestock pics, I'd never heard of the place till now. My brothers, been looking too with interest, he shot-peens engine parts for rolls-royce so its right up his street. Anyways, I left Newcastle to live in Leeds 2 years ago, and found links that have led me to some interesting stuff. A hidden cinema inside the shopping centre, a world of underground tunnels in Leeds centre. Bunkers in the local woods..... I'm hooked now

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into their construction, but abandonment is like the retirement, gently decaying and consumed by plants and animals. And smashed up by kids.
