1st site
Dadley Building, 9 Mount Street

it used to be part of the university's building
but due to its condition...which is really old..
most part of the building is severely damaged
so now the building is no longer occupied
and main thing is there's no electricity and water supply..

chipping wall paint outside the building

a cool painting/mural found on the 2nd floor
