'Swamped with poo'
Mike Walker, managing director for CountyClean Environmental Services, said:"Whilst we've removed other massive blockages such giant fatbergs in sewers, we have never seen such a monumental mass of festering faeces before.
"The build up behind the doors was so big we had to force the doors open. Once inside, it was like walking on a giant chocolate cake and the smell was awful - even through a facemask."
"The floors of the towers and the steps leading to the top were swamped with 25 tonnes of poo. We filled our tanker several times over."

(18,470 posts)There are some people planning on turning it into a multipurpose space. Namely a coffee shop, art gallery, etc...(Which by the way has all the teabaggers up in arms here). One of the tasks they said they'd need to take care of is to scrape several feet of bat poo off the inside of the steeple then they can restore that.
