 |  |  | Hereson School For Boys - Broadstairs, UK - July 2011
< on 7/29/2011 12:25 AM >
|  | | | After reading in the paper last week about the closure of the Hereson school, and its imminent demolition, naturally I knew it would be great to have a look! So one evening I set off alone and had a relaxed time taking photos of a school I briefly attended.
ABOUT THE SITE
It is hard to find history for the school with exact dates, but what I could find out is that it was initially a convent (explaining the biblical stone figures on the exterior of the building, and the attached chapel). After this it became Holy Cross convalescent home, apparently treating tuberculosis patients. It then became Holy Cross comprehensive school. Eventually, eight years ago it became the Hereson School for Boys, which had moved from a smaller site in nearby Ramsgate, where it was established just over 100 years ago. The reason for closure is that a while back, the Hereson school merged with the Ellington Girls' School, in Ramsgate, forming the Ellington and Hereson School. Both schools moved to a brand new £10 million campus down the road.

Thanks for looking...

| | | | I'll second what Price said.
Also, I seem to quite like the second to last photo. And that cell phone poster is pretty dang fun.
I've no sense, I lick electric fence; I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance.
