| | | I had wanted to visit this last year however turning up and finding a dog unit security van in the grounds with the rear doors open and the engine idling put us off a little bit as you can imagine! On the grapevine I heard things had changed a little bit - namely the demolition of the more modern extensions - and it seemed the pooch and his master had also disappeared. After a somewhat ungainly entry we spent a good hour or so inside, with the internal skylight (presumably added after H&S didn't think an open balcony was suitable in a school) being the obvious main point of interest for me. However the building now has some fantastic decay on the upper floor, with warped wooden flooring and peely paint everywhere. It was built in 1904 originally as a school, and closed in 1990 after it merged with another local school. After that it was used by the local council as office space, and in 1993 a large extension was built to house a youth leisure centre incorporating sports facilities and classrooms. It closed a few years back and already decay has taken a toll on the structure. 1
