Legs and Borders

After a day of exploring we had some extra time to spent in London, just enough for a little mooch. After failing to get somewhere else, we noticed this tower and crane from the distance, and as we haven't done high stuff before, decided to give it a go, and it was well worth it. info:  St George Tower, also known as the The Tower, is a residential skyscraper under construction in Vauxhall, London, as part of the St George development. When built, it will be 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, making it the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We managed to climb up to 22 storey and that's where the construction ends at the moment, so revisit is quite possible.

Done this location during the summer with r2s, lu of sesyjni mordercy crew and our friend Sebastian. Nice location, we did expect a little bit more though, plant is partially demolished, the rest is stripped out and heavily used by paintball enthusiasts. history: the plant was founded in 1912 initially as the artificial silk factory. It was the largest producer of synthetic fibers in the country. During the German occupation it was used for testing internal combustion engines, in 1946 original activity was resumed. In it's heyday company employed almost 10 thousand persons. As the factory was producing and releasing to the atmosphere extensive amounts of toxic gases, it was decommissioned in the late 90s.

Some places you are just meant to see too late. Demolition of Graylingwell is lets say 40% done, but unfortunately it has taken the main features, the hall and the projection room. Went there in the middle of the week and perhaps i shouldn't have as it was crawling with workers, so had good time dodging them for most of the time :) Fortunately didn't get caught and managed to see most of what has left. history: Graylingwell Asylum in Chichester, East Sussex was founded in 1894 then finally opened in 1897.  During World War I the hospital closed temporarily and was used as a base by the Military. The patients were evacuated to other southern asylum’s. On return to civilian use plans were put in place for additional buildings to the main hospital. These buildings included an admission hospital which was to be known as Summersdale, a nurses home to be known as Pinewood, a building for female tuberculosis patients and a female convalescent home and also a home for...

Done with r2s during this summer, entrance was kind of funny as the site is still partially live, so we have been crouching behind random objects to avoid the workers and security, eventually got in and discovered that the ground floor is still being used as a storage for thousands of glass jars, after this few skips it all went fine. First opened in 1897, this factory was producing the glass for windows, closed in 2001.
