Urbex - Exploring the Manchester 'Cave' - October 2016

On the banks of the River Irwell in Manchester City Centre there's a strange little 'cave' in a relatively inaccessible place underneath an office building. One evening I took a stroll down there with a torch and a GoPro to see what was in it.

The way in is pretty easy - you just have to scramble up a steep slope using the lightning conductors as ropes and shimmy around to the cave entrance. It was very dirty and dusty in there, with evidence of rats and other creepy-crawlies.

People who went in there a couple of years ago tell me that it used to go back much further under the building, before the scaffolding, steel and concrete foundation work was done. I followed it back as far as I could but after a little while it just ends. Still a fun diversion.
