So the first derp of the day, despite it being posted in the wrong order. I have been meaning to explore this place for a long time and scouted it a few times in 2012 to no avail.
It looked lush back then but somewhere between then and now the boat was missed… It was originally a C of E...

Explored with Starlight & Chopper
I won't bore you with the history of this place, although very sad and horrid, i am sure most, if not all know the story's behind this place.
if you want to see some history, check out Lara's cracking report here ...
Hi! In Russia schools are not very beautiful in architecture but still, it may be interesting because they really differ from European ones.
Nowadays this place doesn't exist.
The coridor of the first floor.
Thank you and good luck!
Strange feel about the place, as we all know the atrocities that went on here. But we had a really good day, and cracking company!
Splored with Skeleton Key, Nelly, Trog and Peaches
Standard hallway shots
We found a little pet cemetery on our way out...
This explore was a bit of a risky one...
Alarms started ringing so we left, but took this blurry pic before I did.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed :)
The manor has been posted a few times, so I chose not to bother with the main buildings. I'm surprised no-one has made more of a feature of this lab before though. Was a nice little treat for me finding it :)
Thanks for looking. Hope you enjoyed! :)
2013:
I assume this is still here as the development of the school swamps it
2012:
Well here is the report of the chapel I didn't manage to get into before. Access was available this time round.
No we did not light that candle. I can only assume we scared off someone who was practicing...

Not much to update on I don't think
2012:
Very many thanks to Greg, AKA Northern_Ninja, of 28dayslater for scouting the location.
This school was built in 1903, as an Independent school for boys. By 1939, the school educated 800 pupils.
A junior school was built on site in 1929, but...
2013:
As far as I'm aware nothing has changed here, and this nice, half hour explore is still here.
2009:
There is not much information online about this building, but its awesome! Its believed to be owned by The Beechwood Estates. It has two large halls, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two...
This is a VAST site. In the 90's the Russian army left this vast space (which was used as a flying school) and it has been out of use ever since. A real shame since the buildings are huge, stunning and really well constructed. Before it was taken over by the russians, The Germans used it as a...
I've used this place several times as a location shoot for clients and models. Love it here! I first discovered it back in 2011, That's about the time I stopped doing reports. It's a hugeeeeee place, big grounds, it has it's own chapel, gym and an obscene countryside view. Never got onto the...
Been here many times before, as I'm sure most of us have! A 50mm trip this one, quite enjoyed doing handheld stuff for a change. Anyone know whats happening with this place?
Don't really want to say too much about this place, as we've been asked not to.
Part 2 of the Scotland Weekend Tour..........I had been wanting to do a school for ages, so when we got wind of this we were off!!! Some of the guys went to a farmhouse, and joined up with us later.
Thanks to...
More stuff from my archive of demolished/converted stuff :)
A very pretty Victorian primary school that was located in the north of the city (hence the name). At some point after closure renovation work was started but then stopped, as far as I am aware this renovation is now totally complete...
Thought I'd do a few reports of some explores back in 2010/11 of Buildings that are now either Demolished or now not accessible.
First one is Bell Baxter High School which was in Cupar, Visited this back in July 2010 with Revelation_Space. I don't know too much about the history of this place...
Despite a near fatal case of manflu I took my new lens to check out Coleshill, yet another boys school closed down due to the amorous advances of teachers and priests, (particularly Father H if wall grafitti is anything to go by...)
Going with MrToby and his friend who may or not be on the...
Another busy day exploring with Scattergun and The Baron, who didn't actually do any exploring except for his back wheel :eek: .
The day started off at 3am for msyelf and a 3 hour drive to the first site which I really wanted to do, but seeing soldiers with guns patrolling the site slightly...
Ok, one of the explores from last year... Quite a cool one, although I didn't feel very comfortable there. We had to enter thru a room with sleeping junkies and they definitely outnumbered us, so we tried to be quick and quite..
Somehow it's an old, but much forgotten location. Haven't seen...
