only one door with shutters got its own petrol station and there is a b&q next door
hold up there a while and let it die down in the area then move on to manchester docks only 20min drive and pick up a boat then use the ship canal as a good route up and down the north west good areas for raiding and looting

Excellent defensible location for any post-apocalypse, including zombies.

ENTRY TO BUILDING
Upper levels of building are reached by two, narrow two-story escalators. Escalators are overlooked by several shafts and windows from the upper levels, which would make excellent spots for safe shooting or for deployment of re-usable weaponry, such as large, heavy objects hung from ropes. Zombies would have to ascend single-file, making them easier to pick off. Essentially, you have a medieval castle-style defensible stair, here. For best results, you'd need to seal off access to the building's emergency stairs and either seal off or possibly blow up the connecting bridge to the parking garage.

PROTECTED SPACE
Ample enough to support a reasonably large population. Includes kitchen facilities. Would have enough food and booze on hand in restaurant and bar areas to get you through initial zombie issues.

SAFE ACCESS TO OUTDOORS
Guthrie features large, cantilevered "bridge to nowhere", which is only accessible from protected levels. Food could be grown on the terraced benches. Water could be collected here as well. Great feature if you're worried about survivors going crazy from being locked up indoors.

EASY-ACCESS LOOTING
Located in downtown Minneapolis, the Guthrie is near multiple restaurants and stores that can be raided by looting teams after things die down a bit. Central location in metro area also ensures that most zombie fodder (and, thus, zombies) will flow away from it during initial infection.

IDEAL LOCATION FOR SOCIETAL REVIVAL
As zombie infection dies down, Guthrie provides ideal location from which to control traffic and trade along upper Mississippi River.

Paladin357 Possible fortification 8 Jan 15 2009, 4:13 PM EST by mercurior

Just thought of a possible fortification, sounds like a good idea but I would like some other points of view.
The location is a decommissioned destroyer located in Galveston, Texas. It survived Ike and Rita, taking no damage. It is berthed on it's own little island that is shielded by Galveston from the ocean. Location is complete with a pier and large visitor center.
Here is a link for anyone that wants to check it out: http://www.hnsa.org/ships/stewart.htm
I am sure that all the weaponry is also non-operational so that's not an issue. The ship and the submarine are also open to the public, and are rarely locked down.
