Second visit to this place, first time went with 3 guys off another forum. Went again with Ferox & found the basement :D thanks mate a good mooch as always. After a hair raising entry into the building (one of the last guys i went with compared it to the early Tomb Raider games on PS1) we started taking photos & heard voices coming towards us but it was just a group of kids, to be fair they were pretty sound & told us of an easier way out, unfortunately we couldn't find it & had an even more hair raising exit. Was glad we got into the basement which was a lot bigger than i thought, obviously lighting was poor so didn't get the best pics down there still enjoyed exploring it though :)

Didn't get any actual external shots :rolleyes: so this will have to do.

History,

"Robert Garnett was born on 6 Jun 1830 in Penketh, Warrington, Lancs. He died on 9 Apr 1903 in Penketh, Warrington, Lancs.. He was buried in Sankey. He married Mary James on 15 Sep 1859 in Stanwix, Carlisle. Robert was employed as a Cabinet maker. He was a generous local benefactor to many churches and charities and even laid the foundation stone at penketh methodist church."

One of the last explorers i went with told us apparently a few years back the police were called after someone heard screaming from inside the building but it was searched & nothing was found.
