The entrance into the still standing smoke stack with a chalk message remembering Daniel Stratford.

Referring to your dissection of the saga of Daniel Stratford on the home page of this particular quarry, i suggest that you get your fucking facts straight before you post things, you have no idea about what happened, so dont pretend that you do. I am Dan's brother and I think that you should do a bit more research before you try to write about something. Your a disgrace. Of course theres going to be flowers, it is the place where a shining light in many peoples lives may have died! You disgust me!

Have more respect, I dont know what happened, and I dont know who would.

The quote was taken from the BBC website. Get *your* fucking facts straight and vent your e-rage on the BBC.

Right, well if you happen to know any better, perhaps you'd like to PM me some details so I can update the page "respectfully". I DID my research matey, and at the time, a couple of BBC articles were all that existed. I didn't spend any more time than I had to: the fact that someone died here is certainly very sad indeed, but that doesn't mean that page need either omit details about Daniel Stratford, or turn the page into a memorial to him.
I can understand that you many not take kindly to a web page discussing how your brother died, but you have to understand that as Urban Explorers, we have (or had) considerably more interest in his passing than other people.
For one, we are actually exploring the cement works/quarry in which he was found. Why on earth does anyone go to a cement works? To a) explore it or b) vandalise it. The fact that he was even there is of interest to us. If he died exploring, we quite obviously want to avoid being killed ourselves.
Sick though it may seem, knowing the exact location where he presumably died is something on the mind of everyone who explored there, though not something that anyone would find too comfortably to openly talk about. Anyone exploring there would obviously want to avoid any dangerous areas that could result in their own deaths, but would also want to be able to pay their own respects. The vast majority of people would show great respect for your brother by avoiding that area. On my second to last visit I actually left flowers at the base of the stack. We certainly don’t mean to cause any disrespect, but what happened there (while a terrible waste of a life) DID happen, and tiptoeing around the issue isn’t wise when our hobby involves exploring places that can potentially be very dangerous.
