I have given this the nickname of 'School For Dead Butterflies' - the first photo shows why :)

This abandoned school first opened its doors in 1929 and closed in '74. Since then it has been used as an outdoor pursuits centre and for geography based learning. Empty since 2002, it now awaits its fate (probably being replaced by a housing estate).

It has watchful live-in security.

Nice little mooch by the looks this one. Great images as well, I would have to say im a little jealous :p

Thanks for sharing, Dugie
 
Yes, thanks to the security guy most of it is in good condition. Apparently someone did once get in there when he was away and tried to strip the place. However, the police station is only just down the road and so the guy got stopped, though I don't think they actually caught him.
