Carmel College.
History.
Carmel College was a predominantly Jewish co-educational boarding school in England operating between 1948 and 1997. It was first situated at Greenham Common near Newbury and then at Mongewell Park near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. It was Europe's only Jewish boarding school. It also had a very small number pupils who were not of Jewish descent, as day pupils. It was referred to as the "Jewish Eton" and Carmel College alumni were referred to as "Old Carmelis".
Visit
We set off in the morning with the hope to go to Carmel in the morning and then spend the rest of the day at another place. upon arrival as we were walking to the site we were greeted with a pick up truck flying towards us. the old chap stopped us and said we weren't allowed down there because people break in, so i told him we were only here to do some wildlife photography, he then asked us to leave. we found another way and got to the labs, after spending a fair bit of time in there we moved onto the main building, and found an open window to slip through. within minutes we were grabbing our cameras to make a run for it. next thing we know, we're stuck in a corner with an angry old man storming towards us then grabbing my camera. after arguing for 5 minutes he phoned the police, and then accused us of breaking and entering, and tossed some hateful words about for 10 minutes until we were searched and kicked off by the police.
Definitely one to remember, thanks to the non os member who drove us there
