hi all..well i travelled back in time earlier to when me and out kid used to play in old buildings....i must admit this is the most dangerous thing i have ever done to obtain pics...the buildings are most dangerous...floor boards upstairs and in the attic are mostly gone.... wires hanging everywhere.. etc...to obtain entry we went round the back where some of the fencing was down...can you please bare in mind that if some of the pics are not to good its because all the rooms at the front where in complete darkness as they are all boarded up so i was just aiming my camera and hoping for the best.. i had it set on night mode and flash...

having said all that its the most exciting thing i have done in a long time and well worth it to capture what will surely be a thing of the past when the bulldozers move in...

the first pics are of the front of the buildings...then the back and finally the inside..

You little Devil Lyn, you're getting my bug of going into old buildings.
Great photos, put them on the Birmingham Heritage Site, they will love them.
