Explore with Frizman!

Third and final phase of exploring Rutland college, and finally cracked the main block. Having previously explored the Arts block, and the Boarding house for the site, it was nice to finally see the main block which had Geography, media studies, the crèche, maths, the library, reception, & Chemistry lab. Somehow missed the sports hall.

The Rutland college itself closed in September 2012, after relocating to a new site. It was a sixth form college mostly for A levels, for students aged 16-19. Rumour has it the site has been sold to a supermarket.

Nice one on getting it done :) Been meaning to take a look here for a while but never got round to it, so good to see some pics.

Cheers goldie!
there is still lots there, but dont know how long it will stay like that
PM me if you want more details
 
Cracking pics,are those dead flies in that shot??
Sorry didn,t read your caption re the wasps!!

Yes 500+ dead wasps!
The nest was on the floor in the corner, it had obviously fallen from the ceiling.
Just glad they were all dead, or I wouldnt have been able to get out the room quick enough!
 
I grew up in Oakham. Didn't go to the 6th form but all my mates did. Strange to see it like this.

I went back a month or two later. It had been pikied.....

Great report. Loved the dead wasps and the baby grand piano left behind. It should have been donated to another local school. I hate seeing musical instruments go to waste.

Thanks mate
dead wasps horrible, but good ridance
all the rest of the stuff a terrible waste
 
Jesus! What a difference! Was just about to comment on mint it was. Such a shame.
Either way, thanks for sharing the 'before' and 'after' pikie shots!
