Hope everyone is OK and the wall will be alright. I imagine it will be closed for a short while at the very least unless the fire spreads further.

Another failing business in a semi-derelict building. How I wish I had been an insurance investigator, it must be a fascinating job.

It's right opposite Strangeways prison as well.

As is Rockover. Instead of their very mediocre name, they should have called the wall Prison Bloc.

In reply to galpinos: They could have just called it Strangeways bouldering! The con college is now called HMP Manchester.
