The furniture is a way of avoiding paying taxes, companies go around getting paid by the building owners to be a Tennant for 3/6 months as you get 3/6 months rates free when you move into a new premises and then they move on and the building owner then gets 6 months rates free. So they get 1 year rates free. But they have to prove they are using a certain % of the building. You see it a lot in warehouses.
I used to work here. It closed down December 2023 and it is MAD to see you walking around it empty!! In a horrible area so it will be burnt down or smashed up beyond recognition soon! Fascinating to see what was such a massive business so recently, left to rot. Well, it was bought for £2.3million so you’d have thought they would care more about it!
The screen is a keyboard video mouse (kvm) it allows the kvm elements to be shared with other physical servers; you can cycle between each server. A bit old school, but still plenty in use. Yes, x.21 old interface standard 9600 bps to 2Mb. I can remember a kilo stream leased line cost of 14k for 128Kb 😂
You know you lot could be a bit safer in high vis gear if you also carry a clipboard. It makes you look like you should be there in some kind of official capacity. You essentially hide in plain sight.
Am surprised they aren’t any crackeds in there. saint mathews across the road drugs haven has been since 80s. Nicked named the mathews. < a proper rat run mate…. Anyway nice explore mate.

Humberstone road facing Shoezone area of the city
The pull out keyboard with the screen in the network/server rack is a KVM but with a screen. Those cost some money to have.
Interesting explore Matthew Thank you very much Cheers

Wow that's cool Matt
Those switches are HP Procurve switchs, SFP ports gives you extra ports t typically for uplink. The switches are worth some money.
Proper maze but amazing
In case the roof collapses 😂
Not more copper thieves ffs.
G the copper theivs are next level they eat a bowl of copper for breakfast
Openreach just upgraded my street to FTTP. Small modem (ONT) with optical, ethernet ports and a 12volt PSU.
I'm surprised there wasn't any squatters in there ? It's a dry place
