at 25:00 that's fiber coming in from the street (under). That used to be copper coming in, and feeding each floor. Judging by the age of the building, it was probably multiple floors of step by step equipment, or cross-bar and each floor was an exchange.

HMM surprised it isn’t full of canabis

En un lugar como ese te dejan entrar para desmitificar los rumores de naves y ovnis pero en todo momento están monitorizandote . No te preocupes, los hombres de negro a partir de ahora desde lejos , te van a acompañar. NUNCA MAS ESTARÁ SOLO NI DURMIENDO!!

Welches Baujahr hat der Aufzug? Steht da ja leider nicht

I wonder where Sir Kier would go now in event of nuclear catastrophe? 😮

Superb watch, thanks!

How do you find abandoned places to explore? I want to try doing this

I was there in 1987 onwards loved it :)

Those washing machine drums were for the Hotpoint 'WMA' range. The split tank design being held together with screws was a new concept for General Domestic Appliances for their range of washing machines, replacing a previous clipped together design. I would imagine GKN would have been fairly instrumental in providing fastners for this project, hence the drums being on site

Could you imagine if terrorists found their way into there. They could cripple London. It's shocking. it's so easy to get in there.

good ol' swindle

👋

An absolute tragedy this was closed down. Pretty sure was because the government failed and our council failed. Sad state of affairs. Yet another knock to swindon.

Sounds like the brakes are sticking sometimes as it will sometimes sound really quiet, snd then loud again.

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Has some great all nighters there

What an amazing place this is.

i guess beno is getting away with it

Odyssey nights at The Brunel Rooms in 1992 were great, Grooverider headlined. Joey beltram played here too.

Was in service til 93, I walked past it on way to school every day and had no idea until today 😮

Love the video great explore any chance I could ask a few questions is there a way I could get in touch ?

Brilliant video !

That is cheeky. Why enter a nick unless someone has a hold of yer collar?

Used to go here for step when I was about 12-13 this is just sad to see

Are you going to do more in swindon again 😊

Thanks for reporting

How did you manage to get caught? Unless the cameras were working or a driver spotted you. Which would be a huge mistake. That's a £1000 fine. That's a big wedge of cash for most people. TFL know people try & get in on Christmas Day as the traction current gets switched off.

Drove past this many times! These were built so sturdy so that they could (theoretically) withstand nuclear attacks and maintain communications.

I used to work there!

I used to work there, 90-92, the lifts would regularly break down, so we were taught how to release the brakes and lower the lift to the nearest floor so we could release the trapped occupants. This tower would sway something chronic in high winds. I was a fire NCO at this camp and if there had been a fire in the tower block we would’ve been in trouble, there was no wet or dry rising main, just a fire hose in a wooden box-woeful.

Brick wall at the end reminds me of thomas the tank episode where engine left in the tunnel haha

Actually super nostalgic for me. I used to go here when I was a lad

I can't believe how much stuff is/was still there. You must keep your ears to the ground like a Bloodhound does its snout. Good to have a next Urbex expert vid from you and good to hear them chuckles again. Thanks.

been a while, bud. welcome back.

Save oasis 😢

Nice mate I’m in Swindon and want to do Urbex at some point great video 🇬🇧👍

I had some great nights in there 1990s …Paul oakenfold played a legendary set 1995 essential selection

i like how you used a heartbeat sound cuz its pretty dark and scary isn't it?

I mean ok but it’s kinda stupid because if that lift stops working you’re kinda screwed unless you can contact someone to come help you, but then there would be legal repercussions. It’s a cool video but not the smartest of choices.

Nice work , this place has been one of my obsessions since I found out about it 15-20 years ago. Did you enter by fulwood place behind the old chancery lane station or the furnival entrance? Recently passed by and noticed they've started work, entry doors look like they've been upgraded.

Needed some waders

The pile of round things on the floor are microwave antennas. Used for high bandwidth comms links between towers and other tall buildings. Was the way to flip phone and data traffic quickly around the country from tower to tower until emerging at the "last mile" exchange. All done with IP these days

Very interesting. I got shaky knees when you opened the hatch on the top. When your hat blew off I was praying inside "please don't go after the hat! please don't go after the hat!" 😂

lived and worked there 08-09 . first bedroom on your left as u walked in at the start. Thanks always wondered what it was like inside

Nice work boys.

No where in Swindon has this we dont have a long time to savr it so something needs to happen quickly. People have to travel hours to find a place like this

Is this in King's Lynn?

The nostalgia
