Great Britain Municipal Secondary School for Girls - Stockport - Jan 23

Stockport Collage

Thanks to @jtza as Iv un mercilessly nicked the history for this one.


Built in 1909 as a secondary school, the Greek Street Annexe later became a Girls' Grammar School and finally an annexe of Stockport College. The Grade II listing describes it as "Council secondary school, by Cheers & Smith of Blackburn and Twickenham, consisting of Red brick, stone dressings and banding, terracotta mouldings, Westmoorland graduated slate roofs, red terracotta ridge tiles. Tall brick stacks. Cast-iron railings."
In 1970 the school merged with the Technical School, situated to its immediate east, which subsequently became Stockport College of Further and Higher Education. The two buildings are linked by a modern corridor.

Rather lovely place this which Im surprised hasn't had more attention over the years. Was a fun explore too, doing our usual rocking up in middle of day as "we were passing" & scrambling about on roofs much to the amusement of people at the bus stop!

The hilarities continued in here when we realised there was a young lad in one of the upper rooms smoking a spliff, so my mate couldn't resist pretending to be secca.
Funny thing was after we told him we were just explorers, he still asked "do u want me to leave the building" :rofl

Anyway on with the pics, the newer half didnt have that much to offer.

The older half was really quite nice though.

I could go on but know u are all bored now.
Thanks For looking!

Looks pretty good that. Presumably the access isn't straightforward otherwise the tourbus would've been all over it

It was a bit tricky & the older half does have some sort of sensors & active security which keeps em at bay
