So, without realising it, I've become a bit hooked on this area of Leicester and have strayed from the original concept of this blog. However, after my previous foray into the derelict terrace houses in the All Saints Road aream I had to go back for another look.
Since my previous visit, the backs of the houses (where I took the the pictures of the inside of the building) where boarded up so there was no access there. However, one of the boards had been pushed to one side, revealing a vast hall area.
The first set of pictures above show that there are people (with a serious penchant for cheap cider) are living in this hall. Bedding and what only can be described as a seating area can be seen, as well as a shit pit.
Must've smelled funky. Did you meet any of the denizens of this underworld?
ReplyDelete@Drew: Indeed it did smell. The smell of piss was worse.
ReplyDeleteI didn't meet anyone and I'm not sure if I want to. Could provide an interesting angle though.
Intereesting thing about the pictures of the sleeping bags and matresses. I only noiticed the other day but there seems to be someone asleep underneath the nearest bed. Because it was so dark in there I didn't actually see them. Eeek.
