Another one i found digging through my old explores

I dont believe this has been covered on here, but im afraid te' interweb doesnt return too much on the place so again history will be omitted

We nearly didnt go for this place, it was one we literally passed on the way to other sites on the to do list as we were killing time - but boy were we glad we did!

This is a school that had been shut down a few months prior we think, definite evidence of work going on and if i remember the diggers were already there- looking at reports on other sites - this was gone 6 months after!

First of all i have this picture of a rather nice looking clock:

I have 2 questions for this, why is there a toaster in an art classroom - and what is it doing right next to the sink....

Stairwell shotz had to be done:

This i was rather impressed with:

Now for one of my favourite things about this school. the numerous quotes that were plastered on the most prominent walls on the site, both previous reports included the first one we stumbled across - but i thought id show a couple more of them....before my camera died

The number "14" was scribbled in various locations in polish on the site, i thought maybe they were checkpoints but i didnt see why they were the same number?

Big lock for a flimsy cupboard?

This room shared a remarkable resemblence to my bedroom and was just bursting with goodness. suprisingly we got to spend a while here even tho we set 3 out of 4 of the PIR's off.....

Thanks for looking
 
Some nice shots there, looks quite interesting, I do like the odd school explore.
 
You were lucky to see it - totally flattened by the time we went.
 
Nice work that man. It looks a really odd school, think I'd rather explore it than go there!
Someones going to have fun trying to get thoase chairs out! :mrgreen:
 
Unlucky on the PIRs i'm guessing you got caught? Anyone else think that the TO DO list kinda sounds like it was written by someone mentally insane? :p anyway nice shots looks like it used to be a good explore :)

We didnt actually, we left because i could hear the secc'as mooching around a little too close for comfort.

Watching the police outside was amusing :mrgreen:
 
Looked like a good explore. Still amazes me the stuff the cash strapped local authorities leave behind.
 
I can answer your query about the toaster...teacher clearly had a greey kid they couldn't stand! :mrgreen:
Looks like a really interesting place (or that it was...)
Last pic looks like the kids could be coming back tomorrow.

Yup, the to do list makes me glad I'm done with school!
