Great to see more of the Young Dracula school. There's some crazy wallpaper going on in the second pic!

Looks largely in good condition. That heavy duty dot matrix printer is very cool.

Cheers mate. Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated. Deffo interested in corrections. Will work through them and correct them. Best to get things right! Really got into researching this place. Definitely in my Top 10. And definitely need to come back here. Nearly 40 visits. Man, that's borderline obsessive! Fully understandable mind...

Cheers mate. Never occurred to me to look round here but looked good on Google Maps so gave it a bash...

Nice report mate - i pressume there were never many buildings on these sites in the first place ... Unlike North Wales .. !

Nice one mate - i absolutely love this mine, although i definately don't love the climb up to it ... !! Nice to see you progressing with the old SRT business although you're gonna leave me standing now when it comes to access. Not only can you climb, burrow, dig-out,crawl through the smallest opening and have no fear, now you can bloody do rope tricks as well ... !! You truly are my hero ... !!

121 pictures is not nearly enough ..... absolutely stunning report Hughie. This must have taken you hours to put together and many hours of research on top as well. I have visited this place so many times that i know most of it like the back of my hand but i never get tired of the place. It is so vast that even after visiting it for probably 30 - 40 times i still find bits i never knew about everytime i visit. Your report has definitely done it proud. If you are interested i have found a couple...

great pics - love the goats

A worrying amount of sheep pics for sure!

Mmmmm.121 pictures. Is that a bit TOO much?!

Is that WW2 or Cold War...? Different view - we like. Cheers newage.

when I did this place at the weekend....spotted lines of coke on the kitchen table - decided it was time to get out at that point

Exactly what you just said...

it was nice inside too - I used to stop off there for a meal (always good) on my way Up North. It was an iconic staging post on the A1. A sad loss.

Absolutely stunning. I love that loft bathroom and bedroom.

Excellent - I worked there as a supply teacher during the Spring term of 1987. When it eventually closed the pupils from Margaret Bevan along with the remaining permanent staff moved to Bank View High School previously Meadow Bank School then in Sherwood's Lane Fazakerley where I spent most of my teaching career!

I've passed though the village many times on family visits but near had the chance to see what was there.

Sorry to correct you but that's not Ensors abbatoir. You're a bit late to explore the abbatoir, that was the other side of Valley Road a bit further down, it was turned into a new housing estate probably 6 years ago now. It used to stink when you drove past so probably best that you didn't explore it lol. Ensors relocated to a new, much bigger plant on the industrial estate. I don't actually know what the premises were that you explored, those buildings have been derelict for at least the last...
