After this place came to my attention, and with a little information for Sheards, Myself and @-Raz- went for a mooch about​

 ​

History;

 ​

Opened in 1938 as a middle school, under a different name, the school had a limit 340 children aged between 9 and 13 with 18 staff. In 1996 the middle school closed and it was shortly there after opened as a special needs school, this time with only 48 pupils (aged 11 - 16). Wakefield council moved the school sometime in 2015 to its currect location on Rookhill, Pontefract (On the former Chequerfield School Site).​

The explore;

 ​

So after having gathered a little information, found the place and mapped a route in where we wouldnt draw attention to my chav'd up car in a neighborhood of about 5 houses (Not easy - Need to invest in some camo netting so i can park it in the shurbbery (y) ). A short but muddy walk later we were faced with one of those shitty green fences which by there very nature are designed to be a real pain in the but. But over we went regardless. Now the hard part, finding access, and it wasnt easy. Im a small guy and built like a whippet, and i struggled. So hats off to @-Raz- who is not only taller but has much broader shoulders, and who claims he cant climb.​

 ​

Once inside, we proceded with extreme caution. It all seemed a little too good to be true. Tidy, clean and quiet. Very quiet. Moving out of the first room and into the corridoor and all seemed well, no alarms. So with a bit more confidence we mooched on. First classroom we went into, i forgot to check the corners, and i froze as the PIR sensor lit up, expecting the alarm to go off.​

 ​

1... 2... 3... Nothing. Silence :mrgreen:​

 ​

So in my little fuck up, we had confirmed that the alarm was not armed, so everything became very relaxed and we went for a mish around at our own pace.​

A quick introduction to Camelot;

This is the first time we've come across this, but its well worth being aware of;​

 ​

Sustainable housing and security rolled into one. This idea is logical and will probably and rather inconveniently kick off in the UK pretty soon​

 ​

Thanks for looking (y)

Nice one. Bit clean for my liking though.

The main part of Elvian School in Reading has been occupied by Camelot for years now.

All about the trampoline! I've got fond memories of getting stoned every Friday lunch time before an afternoon of trampolining every week :D

Ah so its not a brand new thing, this is the first time weve come across this. At first we were thinking is this some kind of housing solution for refugees... that put us on edge!

That's wicked, I'm loving the trampoline & chill out room. Didn't realise schools had chill out rooms nowadays. All you need is a spliff and they're sorted :p  

great find mate!

They are very strict on access and security normally, so one wonders how they let this one slip :smile:
