How cool! It was an aquarium at one time!! I love when they are in the basements of old buildings. They are dark anyway, just like the aquariums. There were many aquariums in the lower levels here in the cities in the US... The Washington DC’s National Aquarium might appeal. It’s in the basement of the Department of Commerce Building, where it’s been since the height of the Great Depression when the building was completed in 1932; the space was purpose-built at the time. Before that, the National Aquarium was a few hundred yards away and consisted of some ponds at the base of the Washington Monument. :)) President Reagan tried to close it, but, wasn't able to, but, it finally closed in 2013. I loved that place! (to be fair, Although the National Aquarium claims a Constitution Avenue address, the main entrance is actually on 14th Street NW between Pennsylvania Avenue and Constitution Avenue. A little bit snobbish is my thoughts)

Back to business here. That place was not at all what I expected. Oh, yes, the oriental massages... yes. I did expect that and more. If there was more. Shhhh. It will be your little secret. What was on those little tapes? I didn't see much interest. I was expecting some titillating details somewhere. I love the old brick buildings! If they could have sold it right away, they might have been able to save a lot of the details of it.

The ladies ' rooms looked like there was a divider on each stall and one on the end for a handicapped person. Great find and I am glad that you finally got in it!

It was one of those, 'lets have a look but don't expect much hope places'. That day has been particularly bad with fail after fail so getting in that easily was a surprise. You should visit the UK if you like things like these, there is no shortage!

I lived in Europe for quite a while and spent my time visiting historical digs and anything to do with architecture... i was the best tourist. Now? I will have to go back and look for fun stuff like some of these. I still want to go back to the Manor House where that little old lady came out of the house and waved at you. I still think you guys should have gone in there a spot of tea. I am sure that we'd see you again. Maybe.

That little old lady I fear may have gone round the twist. Most of the time we dealt anger when caught trespassing. It's only natural, and so we were suspicious of her and fled!
