Been pondering whether to bother posting this report, but thought i'd share it anyway, some might find it interesting!
This little'ish primary school opened in 1873 with a considerable contribution from a local business man who donated £1400 towards the construction. As the population grew in the local area the school required enlargement and in 1905 this primary school was considerably extended to the front at a cost of £8700. The school closed finally closed it doors due to budget cuts with the pupils moving to a nearby more modern school, the doors finally closed here in 2009.
Have had this school on my target list for a long time, but finally found time to get round and do it with my sploring buddy JFR420, entry wasn't too complicated considering the area (its a bit rough), and we were in, but were on a time restriction as JFR had a family meal
Inside this place is largely in good condition, there has been some metal thefts, and a little fire started in the oldest part of the building where we found ourselves starting off.
Apologies before we start, I always post too many pics!!
First big room we came across was the old gym hall..
Classrooms a plenty in this place!
Entering a few more doors, there seemed to be quite a few toys left behind! Always wanted one of these air hockey tables, still had the electrics and the pump attached!
Evidence of the pikey work and a small fire :evil:
Plenty of corridors in this place
Drawing and painting supplies :shock:
Old kitchen / Canteen, loved the ceiling in here!
Oh look more toys!
Cool original old sign
Unfortunately at the top of the stairs there was just two boring empty'ish rooms!
Cool upstairs link corridor
Opened the top doors and F*CK me there was so much SH*T in the corridor, then it dawned on me, most of this sh*t was actually toys!
Honestly could have spent hours taking pics of all the toys, but time was pressing on!
No explore is complete with a piano! :cool2: I absolutely loved these sand pits when I was at school!
More Classrooms....
Chair shot (kinda :lol: )
Time for upstairs
Remember the joy when these were brought out!!
New broadband!! I actually remember using AOL as my first dial-up software!
Actually felt naughty going in here!
The conference room if your parents had to be called in :?
I was always in this room at my school!
Even had one of these, when they were all the rage!!
Had to leave so a quick stop in past to get our coats and school bags :lol:
Couple more as I was leaving!
Sorry for the amount of shit pics, but I can't help myself!! Was a good explore anyway, will have to go back sometime to get more and the basement which was also full of stuff!
Thanks for looking!! :beer:
