So it's a normal mundane Tuesday afternoon at work and a text comes in from ZeroUE. Was I up for exploring a location that's been sealed up for ages and needs visiting ASAP before it's sealed up again? It would be silly not to, so off I goes.
Inside was pitch black throughout and seemed much bigger than we expected. Lots of rooms full of random stuff too. Thanks to ZeroUE for the info - and the extra lumens!!!

Here's some history on it all 'lifted' from elsewhere..
Built in the early 1800's and was the rather grand home of few big cheeses until the early 1920's when it became a private school for girls. Listed status given in November 1966.
In 1974 it was home to various council departments including social services, housing and maintenance. It's been unoccupied since 2006 and in 2011 it failed to reach its reserve price at auction.

WARNING - This report contains extreme lens distortion that some viewers may find unsettling.

Well, it is nearly Christmas
An original wrought iron cantilever staircase:
There was a room upstairs that at one time must have been used for secure document storage. A few items remained and this one was quite moving
And finally the original ballroom, most recently used as a council chamber
