Take A Chance

The first site on the Birmingham leg of our journey. While it wasn't the biggest of sizes it made up for that with detail and construction. We were looking at the old Chance Glassworks, but more importantly a smaller section many would pass up and ignore. Housed under a burnt out shell of a building is a series of passage ways and arched tunnels which used to contain some of the old kilns

The arches were extremely impressive and if this was a drain much wet pants moments would be had. We spent a while photographing the different tunnels and the old sections where melted glass had stuck to the walls before meeting up with Dweeb and Raddog in the main building for a further look.

We wanted to look at the old bunker which was under the building but the pikies had stashed a pallet of bricks over the entrance. We tried to remove them but the noise disturbed the beast and we were forced to flee post haste.
