At the first stage the lower melting pot was found, which is still largely intact with some electrical equipment and a
lot of bird muck. The floor here is 'ok', but we were careful all the
same...
Having taken some photos at the intermediate
level, it was time to push on up to the top. This is where it starts getting scary, and you just have to not think about what your actually doing - keep
putting one foot after the other and try not to look
down!
For the most part, the stairs are reasonably
solid. Every now and then there is a dodgy step and you have to make sure you don't slip. A bit further up there is evidence of damage - perhaps people
throwing stuff from the top, which would seem odd, as they'd have to go back down those steps on the way
out...
And so I made it to the top, where the upper
melting pot is, along with loads of bird muck, the lift apparatus and some rather dodgy looking walking boards which suggest the floor isn't so good up here
(probably thanks to the rain pouring in). View down isn't
bad...

I didn't hang about too long before
working my way back down. Going down is worse, as you're looking down the whole time. Still, it had to be done, and with a sigh of relief I reached
terra
firma. Finally we had a look at the old washrooms once used by staff working at the tower and lead
works.
