Cathedral Steps, victoria arches

The arches are right in front of Manchester cathedral under victoria street, they have been the centre of many arguments between urbexers. there is alot of hype about this place on how great it is! you i went with an open mind as i didn't want to be disappointed.
went along with fknsamuelbonney after the Manchester meet we went on, thanks to Sam for providing the climbing gear to make this possible and taking my along after he found the location for access!

the arches was used in 1939 as a bomb raid shelter and was supposed to house 3500 people but later changed the capacity was dropped to 1619 people.

one of the many famous signs down there! the one that people wrote there name on in the dust has been wiped clean by someone for a reason unknown to me, but the was some recognisable names in dust in other places!

if you ever come across pics of the arches you will always see these steps going down to the toilets, so i felt like i had to!



overall it was a great explore, somewhere i wanted to do for a long time and now Ive done it and it wasn't as great as it has been made out but it was still great to see!
