How about this for a roof view?

Went out last night, thought I'd take a visit to the was once the Ronkswood Hospital.
I believe the the place was knocked down in 2002, however, one building still remains.... the boilder tower!
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the tower itself to show.

This tower has unfortunately suffered a great deal of vandalism by thugs to an extend that the roof top is (for the average) unaccessable. It does involve a 'bit' of climbing and is not recommended....... unless your accompanied by a companion. :) safety in numbers I believe :P

anyway, once in the tower, there are a few 'control' rooms, and some steap ladders to go from level to level.

Once at the top.......WOW!! WHAT A VIEW!! you can pretty much see the whole of Worcester!
Correct me if I'm wrong, I do believe it's the Highest point in Worcester too........

Thanks for looking :)

Oh, Hamish, do you fancy this roof sometime??
 
Nice vantage point Dan and I think you could be right in it being possibly the highest point in Worcester Love the B&W, great stuff
 
Amazing! Yeah, I can't think of anything higher?!
Was it difficult to get to?
Yeah, I'm up for it ... As long as its relatively safe? :/
 
Nothing to do with the cropping pete?!? :D :D
Na, I do agree, I love that one. It's works very well. Thanks pete :)

Hamish, it's probably the most easiest derelict site to get onto.
I was going to do a wire wool spin on the top of the roof, with a light mummy, and the view of Worcester!! Lol
Up for that sometime??
 
Thanks Brian,
N# 1 was taken at 14mm on my 4/3 Oly making it 28mm to a 35mm format. (hope I explained that right) lol
And the second was take at 42mm on the Oly then cropping it to 1:1. Taken it slightly to the right to get that bendy road in.
:)
 
That'l be Avon Road, leading to Teme Road and then Tolly midway up, what time was this Dan?
