The Explore

This place seems to be the flavour of the day and is popping up everywhere recently. I loved the look of this place, nice to see decay without lots of vandalism so thought I'd pop over and have a look. Really quite enjoyed it, nice character to it

The History

Really struggling to find any proper history on this school, last updates on some sites are around 1999 so maybe it closed around then. Only bit I have found is that it had 220 students at its peak and age range was 3-11

That's really nice mate, proper little time capsule there, love seeing places where time has stood still like this

Beautiful little place and like you say lovely to see somewhere that's escaped the vandalism. This little place is no doubt going to become pretty popular. Lovely set of snaps

Top notch set of pics, quality and variety. Its the kind of place that it's all about for me, just natural slow decay.
