It's great, would take a huge investment to restore to it's former glory though but it could look stunning with the brickwork cleaned, new windows / fittings etc.

I fucking LOVE Marlboro House and Hilton House! But I seem to remember being told Marlboro House is not what it seems - it's actually an old warehouse building like all the others around there and the grey checkerboard stuff etc is just post war cladding.

You must be a proper weirdo if you like those two monstrosities!
If they are clad (which I agree is certainly possible given the building stock in the area), it was a huge mistake and those responsible must be punished. A nice brick warehouse is much nicer than something attacked with grey pebbledash.
Last picture, the company just across the estate from my olkd workplace used to make these and would completely block the road while loading them on the massive flat bed every timed they shipped one out

I'm very disappointed they didn't go the whole hog, as it were, and name the shop 'ye olde porke shoppe' - that would have been much better!

I've been in some of the tunnels. They open them to the public once or twice a year and it's free.
It's organized through British Waterways and so you'll get some canal nerd giving you a history lesson as well, which is quite interesting

I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

I like the name of this street - reminds me messing around in chemistry lessons at school.

Anyone lost a slipper? Of all the rubbish on the streets, footwear has to be quite an unusual thing to find.

That is a spectacularly shit bit of architecture! Was it the result of a competition to see who can design the ugliest building?
Two superb examples of utter shitness in West Yorkshire

Wakefield? Worst train station I've ever been to.

Holy shit, I missed the clock on stilts thing. FBM is right, that is properly shite.
Wow!
It looks like it should be on an industrial estate where it would be fine as a practical basic building. But definitely not in a town centre!
Maybe they got the design from a prison - it looks like a watchtower.

I can't even begin to understand the thought process that went into that.
I am fortunate enough to have an extremely mundane back yard

Is that orange thing in your backyard a giant jelly mould? Do you have a jelly addiction?
