Harpur Hill College closed in 2004 (I believe) and due to it's location, is in awesome condition, with rooms left alone, with all their contents untouched. This was a very enjoyable explore. I visited with LIO112 and Peter as usual. We unfortunately couldn't do the science block today due to upstairs Gypo action. We felt we were not alone on this site, but some of the voices could be from the neighbouring housing estate.

Thanks for looking, more to follow from LIO112 and Peter :)
 
Thanks! I think it conveys how creepy the place was, it had a strange feel, the photos and belongings of students that were just left behind really was weird.
 
Thanks :)
Did you see the blue pool up on Harpur Hill itself? That's where I took the last one from.
There is a Mark 1 escort estate in the bottom of that :(
 
Thanks, I have to go back anyway, Liam left my 2 million candleopower torch there!!

I may as well take more pictures then :)
 
I found it pretty trashed in there, but there are a few intact parts in the more remote parts of the site. I see you found the darkroom/photography department, which is ace
 
It seems the chavs haven't got that deep yet, which is good, most of the site I found to be in good condition. Even with windows in some places!
 
Oh right, ok :lol:
The art rooms seemed untouched, with pottery work intact, and things left as they were. The students threw paint everywhere when they left.
 
It is pretty trashed in all fairness - I went recently and it seems fairly run down since some of the reports I read last year - this didn't surprise me however what did was that some evidence pointed to those who should know better.

They must have been on the roof, :) you were on the top floor in the science block, check the sign, 3rd window along. :)

Oh yeah! I am not exactly sure where we were, we went upstairs, but not enough to go up a story! I think they were further along, we were around the back of science block, towards the back of your picture. We heard them when we went outside too, smashing stuff up :(

Thanks :)
