Found these on a memory card I thought I lost, visited way back in April with Silverstealth about 5 days after it was torched :( The place still smelt of smoke.

Wapping Road School was built in 1877, as a ‘Board School’ under Bradford's W.E. Forster's Education Act of 1870.
Wapping road school is notable for having the country’s first school swimming pool built in 1899. The school shut it's doors for the last time in 2000.

Pretty crap really, but historical enough to warrent a report, and I think we were the first in after the fire brigade​
